From memory and the bikes I rode, Haro Sport was longer than the Hutch Trickstar, and the GT Performers I had was the longest/comfortable I did tricks on. My mates Trickstar was really twitchy and awkward.  I'm 5ft11 btw.

It' not jar the top-tube length, it's the head tub angle.

Haro Gen1 is 17.5" and then a Master is 18.5", a Sport just over 19" and a MRD Badlander 19.25" with a much steeper head angle. I think a GT Performer is also over 19" but i'm the head angle is a bit lazier.

Had them all and hence why I settled on a Badlander....... ;-)
