in which case i reccomend a street/vert bike, very hard tyres, a small sprocket, and a medium sized freewheel.

I recently picked up and awesome deal on a frame from ebay, includes 990 mounts and brakes. I'm aiming to build a light but strongish bike.

Now I'm peicing the rest of it together, I'm looking for a small sprocket but not sure how small, I've seen alot of 36t but also now I see as low as 25t.

I'm not a pro just looking for something that will do for alot of street and abit of vert.

What are your thoughts?

36t is very nice, 25t is way too low if you plan on riding your bike any further than around a skate park.

Generally, you'll want to go to the bike store and ride a few of their models, and get a feeling for the top tube length that best suits you, the gearing etc.

obviously if your custom peicing it together, you can combine the best bits of a couple of bikes.

My ideal bike, in every aspect, was the Mosh, it was effortless to get it off the ground, grind, jump, pedal.

if i wouldve changed anything, it wouldve been the pedals, because they were very good at sticking into my shoes, but as soon as they slipped, id have a few new holes in my shins, and the blood to match.

i didnt mind though, it was always so much fun doing so.

to add to the info, a picture of my former baby Sad
