I was looking to buy a bicycle but there is one thing that kinda has me wondering if it's the right one for me. I saw that bikes say for example:
Mongoose Boy's 20 Inch BMX Bicycle, but what does it mean by 20 inch? I'm a 16 year old boy, 5' 8 tall, 245 lbs., would something like 20 inch be for me? or am i looking at the wrong bikes. By the way I used to do bike tricks when i was 10 and I'm looking to start again, i want to buy a BMX not a mountain bike,
 
The 20 inch is the tire size. BMX bike frames are measured by the top tube length, the distance between the seat and handlebars. Use this chart to get the right size.
