Freeagent limo 21", TNT Longfellow xl 22", Robo Pro xl 20.5" or Amtrac 21", SE Assassin 20.5 or XL 21" Ripper ProXL...

Loads out there...  it's finding them that's the problem...

I'm about to start using a Robinson Pro XL after using a Pro for the last year and a half.

I tried a Haro Pro XL and although it's an excellent frame and fork, they do have a tendancy to try and kill you when you least expect it.  :LolLolLolLol:

As Bren said earlier though it's finding one that's the difficult part as people tend to cling onto them.

Flaz if you get your Group 1 from Alans make sure its a
longer model they advertise as a good os because
of this but mine was a 19" and is like riding a clown
bike my own fault for building it up before checking.

i would get a 1990/1 redline proline 2, they have the rear drops of the 70's redlines
-the tapered style forks of the 80's redlines, a 4 inch head tube, rather than the 5 inch one
-are quite long, and with mx 1 decals, would fool everyone

-for sale 1990/1 redline frame and forks £60
-ideal for old school racing, speshially if you are a redline fan and don't wish to mash up your older old schooler

-redline 2 bit straight bars available,  for no extra charge
