In terms of 'cross bar' length???

theRuler · « **Reply #1 on:** January 13, 2006, 02:58 PM »

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

RL20?

from the bikes ive had and thats a few the haro sport was prob one of the longest feeling rides ive had and mega nice frame too

theRuler · « **Reply #7 on:** January 13, 2006, 04:58 PM »

the old haro fst's and sports were a good size
also the rickman freestyler feels long up front

weston · « **Reply #8 on:** January 13, 2006, 05:27 PM »

sh1tty ammaco freestyler...f00king too long & the head tube went straight down

theRuler · « **Reply #9 on:** January 13, 2006, 05:30 PM »

good for endoness

b_hazard · « **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2006, 06:21 PM »

ok, what im gettin at is, what the best OS freestyle frame for a Lanky person???

weston · « **Reply #11 on:** January 13, 2006, 06:39 PM »

depends what you want it for, a show bike or to ride daily?

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #12 on:** January 13, 2006, 06:43 PM »

i am 6 foot 2, and the rickman is fine. not that im great at tricks, but it feels more comfy than a lot of bikes ive had. haro freestyler was quite long too.

theRuler · « **Reply #13 on:** January 13, 2006, 07:50 PM »

you aint 6 foot 2
are ya?

in heels maybe

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #14 on:** January 13, 2006, 08:23 PM »

nope. in stockinged feet.

i was last time i checked any way. i tend to lean over when i see you due to exhaustion trying the new trick you have been been unsuccesfully teaching me..

showtime · « **Reply #15 on:** January 13, 2006, 08:41 PM »

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 $:-\$

b_hazard · « **Reply #16 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:08 PM »

Well i want a OS freestyle frame purely 4 looks, im 6' 5" so am for to lanky to be good at tricks, so i want a nice looking, large frame, what do ya reckon?

HARO SPORT

NUFF SAID

theRuler · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2006, 09:38 PM »

go for the fst
they didnt have the stupid platforms added on
well not as early as the sport anyway

b_hazard · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2006, 10:09 PM »

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!

theRuler · « **Reply #20 on:** January 13, 2006, 10:15 PM »

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!!!

b_hazard · « **Reply #21 on:** January 13, 2006, 11:06 PM »

ok, so what are these haro sports goin for??? i want a good respo project, custom job!!! also, are they better than, and bigger than street beats??? i need info, where can i get one from?? any good websites??? etc?

TheRuler, you clearly love ya haro sports, give us ya knowledge..........

cheers,

Ben

I think the badlander is the biggest vintage freestyler i have had.

b_hazard · « **Reply #23 on:** January 14, 2006, 03:05 AM »

badlander, who manufactures badlanders??? i heard this rumour that raleigh burner mk 2's are the best bike in the world, this must be a fact. so wot bike is best for a tall person, a haro sport, a fst, a badlander, a raleigh burner? come on, pull ya self together, wots the crack??? i need fact.............now

Bren Gunn · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2006, 07:25 AM »

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
