Title: Skyway TA X/L
Post by: stu27 on January 09, 2009, 09:59 PM: could anyone let me know how long the top tube is,what do you measure it between to determine the length and are they rarer than standard TAs,cheers :daumenhoch:

TA XL is 19.5'' and the top tub measurement is from the centre ot the headtube to the centre of the seat tube.

Post by: moley on January 09, 2009, 10:08 PM: Is that centre to centre along the TT or from the top of the seat and head tubes!!!

If you measured a Haro Group One RS1 along the TT (centre to centre) its probably 18"

But if you measure it from the top of the seat tube and Head tube (Centre to Centre) then its around 20.25" :LolLolLolLol:

I think a Skyway TA X/L is 19.5"!! :daumenhoch:
