pointless and another cash in on old skool bmx

no 18 inch i think like most frames back then ie trickstar`s so on . i think it was only the redline rl20 II that was 19 inch back in the day
i check on mine what length it is when can get to it

pickle:
must admit i always thought the sport was a little but longer than the Master  ???

Tel-boy75:
The Sport was longer than the master:

The Sport frameset: The Sport utilizes most of the Master's proven features. 4130 chromoly tubing, precision machined bottom bracket shell and head tube, identical forks, dropouts, and reinforcing gusset. The Sport's wheelbase is longer (36" -37") for improved tracking and stability at higher speeds. (Steering is not as quick as the Master.) The Sport features a unique two into one top tube design that provides a slightly shorter platform area than the Master.

Rich Sigur, www.notfreestylin.com: The 4130 chromoly frame (a big deal back then) was great for what it was designed for: small ramp and flatland. But my style of riding was primarily ramps and skateparks, so the early Master did not suit me so well. The shorter wheelbase was not as stable in the air. I discovered this fact one afternoon while practicing on my back yard quarter pipe. "Oh @#$! it hurts" is what I remember most about that bike. A week later I politely brought Bob his bike back and told him, "Sorry bro, I cant ride this bike anymore, hurts too much." That's not to say that the bike wasn't good it just wasn't for me. Other riders had success with it on vert including Eddie Fiola, and Mike Dominguez. Bob Haro designed the Sport frame for me because I wanted something longer, than the Master for riding skateparks and wood ramps, which was my area of experience at the time. I actually didn't get involved with flatland until my first tour in 1984. Bob suggested I learn some flatland because I didn't have enough tricks to last an entire show.
