Street

5 or 6 years ago i stopped riding and parted out my bike. lately i've had the bug to pick it back up again. a good friend of mine just put a bike together, and it convinced me that i need to do the same. i've narrowed the frame down to a fit flow series; this is where my deimla comes in.  i don't think i'll be riding really hard right off the bat, and i'm not trying to break the bank.  my options are getting the frame and a parts package off of dan's. the only advantages of this option that i see are rims and i could get a 20" or 20.5" frame, which i would prefer. my other two options are getting the bike complete. there are two options for this. they both come 20.75, and main difference is that one comes with brakes where the other doesnt have brakes or provisions for them (i used to ride brakeless, but i would prefer to have them now). what should i do?

1. frame and parts package from dans?
    pros: top tube length i really want.
            stronger rims?
    cons: poverty parts pretty much all around. (keep in mind i will probably change everything eventually)

2. complete flow street
    pros: better components.
            better color.
            a few minor things i like more than the other complete(seat, grips, tires, etc.)
    cons: no brakes.
            20.75'

3. complete flow
  pros: better components.
  cons: 20.75"

iim 5'6 i went from a 19.5 inch frame to a 21. you get used to it eventually, id say go with the third. the fit flow complete [the one with brakes]
