A standard TA is 18.5 & that's not an expert.

Same with MRD Ed, the expert was 18.5" and the Pro 19.5" - they did special XXL frames for Tim I believe that were getting on for 21" but Animal would have to confirm :daumenhoch:

Standard Mongoose and Supergoose tt length was 18.5" from the late 70's to the late 80's but I have no idea after that as I have no interest after about '84 / 85 frames until newschool :-\

I'd go 18.5" & 19.5" as your answer roughly :coolsmiley:

due to difference in seat tube angles, BB to top of h/tube is probably where the biggest difference is.

That's a good point!

I also get the impression that tt lengths increased (and therefore the designation of "expert" and "pro" models changed) through the 80s, with many of the early-mid 80s classics (GTs, Skyway T/As, Laserlites, etc) being around the 18.5-mark, and longer versions coming thereafter. Thank god for laybacks! :daumenhoch:
