In the North; probably those long TNTs are the most common. There's quite a few GT, then just a handful each of Robbos, S & Ms, Haro, Free Agent, Burners etc

Lot's of late 80s/early 90s frames really!

Less common but used:
Ammaco, Brackens, Bully, Cyclecraft, CW, DP, ELF, GHP, Hyper, Kuwahara, Powerlite etc.

Hopefully soon there'll be a Falcon Pro occasionally on the gate  >:D  :Great_Britain:

There weren't many proper XLong framesets available in the 80s.

Joe, just pick up an OS Goose or something and use a long stem and a layback for extra length  :daumenhoch:

Marty about 2 years ago the late 80's Robinsons seemed to be very  popular in the O/S ace rseries North and south regions

they are
19.5" Pro
 20.5" ProXL
and if you can find one 21" Amtrac  :)

They were  made by GT  ;)
