Hey, rn im riding a BF 22" by Fitbikeco and am looking for a 20" bmx. I'm 6ft 1 and found the fly bikes electron with a 20.5" tt, would that be small for me or should I go with a 21"+ tt?

yeah go with a 21 inch tt. id suggest trying out some bikes first though cause you may be able to get an ever longer frame if a 21 still feels to short.

well how do you feel about the 22"?

i rode 20"s of every top tube length for years. now i'm on 22"s and not going back.... Cool

but, yeah, if you're trying to ride a smaller, but not too-small setup, i'd say 21" or 21.25" top tube.

Way back in the day I rode a 20.5" Macneil frame and I'm 6'1. It was manageable, but I am much more comfortable on a longer frame. I wouldn't go back to a smaller frame honestly now that I've ridden a longer one.

21" TT is basically the norm now so 21.25 is plentiful size. go 21.25, and don't be scared to get 9.5" bars and a TL stem.

I'm 6'2" and ride 21". It fits perfectly. Anything above 20.8 will work great for you
