cross bar length?

the TRM has a long toptube!!!
not a big bike though
in another thread we finally established that the toptube length is a very vague way of describing a frame
for an old school frame it's like buying shoes based on the width of your feet

i'm over 6 foot & the Torker 280X i had felt pretty roomy compared to most old bikes, thats why i used it to do the London-Brighton on  ::)

i think it has more to do with a very laid back seat tube angle rather than actually being any bigger  :-\

cheers for the advise, really dont like the haro with the 2 top tubes(master i think), i do like the haro that looks like a streetbeat, how does the haro compare to a streetbeat in size and stuff? whats the difference between a Haro sport and a Haro FST?? also, how much am i expecting to spend on one of these haro's sports / FST's??? i used to have a hara shredder, just thought i'd menthion that, no reason.......cheers!

i had a haro shredder too
really nice frame. nice low slung toptube

as for the fst and sport, there are 2 theories

some say it was a "tri moly" sport
some say it was the same bike but with lower spec components

also i think the early fst's were all chromo, then went to chromo main tubes (or the other way around)

i think brian blyther used to ride an fst. good enough for him . . .

with the "stupid platforms" no disrespect to anyone who has one of these haros, but i really feel those rear dropout platforms detracted from the overall quality of the bike. hence why i would go with an fst if you cant find an 84 sport!!!

Get a Torker Freestylist, they are huge...   same sort of set up as a RL20 II... 5" head tube so very roomy and nice to ride as well :)
