supergoose:

--- Quote from: ssteinbr;3586074 ---The 22 Holmes feels like a supergoose did back in the early 80's.  I think this has to do with my body size in relation to the overall bike size and the slacker s/t angle.  I can bunny hop like a mofo on it too... everything is a bit slower happening but not too slow.

I was going to get out of bmx for good, but after reading this comment i would really like to give the holmes a try.

I have never actually ridden a supergoose or any other mongoose from that era, but i got my first bike in 1991, which felt a lot different than today's low and twitchy frames. I too am 9' 11" and 33 years old. Didn't really get to ride any of the bikes that i build over the past 10 years, but i currently own a 20.75" tt fly Pantera 4, which i'm not too happy with when trying to bunny hop. It's not a bad bike, but it doesn't feel 100% right either.

I rode a 24" wtp cruiser, which felt a bit heavy and too big. Do you think i should try the holmes? If so, where did you guys order your sets and how much did you spend? Thanks.

I got my kit from a lbs but eBay has really good deals too.  I think you should get one!  Rode around the city tonight and the holmes was so much fun.
