Answer 1

You should get the 2008 mongoose mischief its a good bike and its very light.

Answer 2

Unless you mean wheel size, there isn't too much of a difference in bmx bike size.



The two things that change are top tube length and handlebar height.



I think that top tube lengths run between 20'' and 21'', but I'm not quite sure, I don't ride bmx too often (I ride dj/street mtb)



High rise bars seem to be pretty popular, which is a lot of personal preference, but there's less reach for taller riders when they ride with high rise bars.



Here's the part about how it applies to you:



5'11'' is big-ish. Id probably go with a longer top tube length if given a choice, (closer to 21'') Also, you're probably gonna want high rise bars.



a good examples of this kinda bike are the kink bikes on danscomp.

Answer 3

basicly the bigest real bmx u can get is a 20''. all the bigger ones are not realy bmx bikes. so i would go with a 20'' and just stand up alot. im 5' 8'' and i ride a haro f1 20''

Answer 4

i'm 5'12 almost 6 foot. and i have a bmx bike with the seat all the way slammed down. i run a 21.75 top tube and man i can sit down and everything its fine. so i dont think it really matters just get a longer tt. unless you wanna get a cruiser.

Answer 5

i would go with a premium duo complete. my buddy who is your height just got one and he loves it. not a top of the line bike but it is a great bike for it's price.



20.75" top tube. if you want you could probley go bigger but it will cost more.

i would say anywhere from 20.75" to maybe if you are really confident, 21.25"

well have fun and it helps to talk to a local shop owner about these things. but no big places like bikes-r-us or something like that, little ma and pa shops that are commited to service and not a big price are what you need
