they are quite short , they mesure a decent lengh but due to raked back seat post
they feel short when on pedles due to where the bb is , nice lite race frame

 :) Think it`s around 20.5 centre to centre but as stated before,feel shorter as the BB is still closer to the headtube than on a "regular" 20.5 frame.

RS1 is 20.25" centre to centre but it has a really slanty seat tube.

So the upshot is the BB is in the same place so it still feels shorter like a normal 19.5" TT

Has the RS2 the same slanty seat tube or is more upright?   If its not as slanty then it must be shorter than 20.25"  ???

According to the test of the RS2...............the RS2 is the same frameset as the RS1 but with lower spec components to bring the cost down.

So it should have a 20.25" TT but it will still ride like a 19.5" TT BMX  :daumenhoch:

Good............drag him kicking and screaming if you have to!!

So long as I dont have to build an entire bike from sratch (again) then anything is doable..................just dont leave it till the last minute.

If you need bars, stem, post, seat etc, etc then LMK ASAP and I can bring any spares that he can use on the day.  It wont look pretty but it will be functional and at least he'll be able to race!!   :daumenhoch:
