I currently ride a 20.4 TT and I'm 5'8 and hit my knees on my stem and bars constantly. I was wondering what you guys think? I'm getting a new frame and two friends of mine recommend a 21. What do you think?

Depends on what you ride, if youre still growing, etc. And then its still personal preference

Like everyone else said it's really personal preference. Try some of your friends frames, and see how you like the size of them.

You say BMX is your life but you barely ride.
BUT hey, That's none of my business.

you are crazy

i'd get something between 20.6 and 20.85, the two frames i've ridden were 20.8 and 20.85 and they seem to be the perfect size for me

It depends on the geo of the frame as well.
