Alright people of the BMX community, I’m asking for your help with my frame one last time. Which one should I choose?
I’m 6’2” (190 cm) and am currently riding a 20.75” frame, which is definitely too small for me. If you can suggest any other/ better frames for about the same price as these ones are 299€-420€ (hehe 420) please do. Thank you very much. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙂

get the safari frame from reed, would do you good
Yep, 21.25” top tube will be fine so then you need to think about what chain stay length suits you. Personally I’d suggest something with at least a 13” to a 13.5” if you’re going to use pegs to give you some clearance with your heals. I have a Sunday Darkwave for this reason and it works for me. The Fiend Mills is popular because it’s a good all round frame (with a street focus).
Another option to look out for is the Federal Boyd frame. Boyd is something like 6’3” so his setup might suit you too.
Do you ride brakes? If so keep an eye out for brake mounts. Visibility is nice, so people can see you.
Curious what makes you say 20.75 is too small?
I’ve been running 21.25 and my homie’s 20.6 feels way better to me. Specifically any sort of hop trick is noticeably less effort on the smaller frame size (180, 360, etc).
Also if you’re in the PNW i might be down to trade frames lol
