what's the biggest disadvantage to a long top tube for dj/street? Im 6'1 and like the atomlab trailking, but right now only ones available are those with a 23.5'' top tube (just tallked to atomlab). Seems it would put me a little too far over the frame for any sort of 4x/downhill ridin and it might be a little less maneuverable in the air, what else, what do you think? thanks..

A longer top tube mainly makes it harder to do spins and move the bike but they are generally more stable in the air

19" is ussually for flatland and stuff. But Ive seen a guy on here that was like 5'7 or 5'8 riding a 19" in park and street. He was crazy! Doin his 540s on like 4 or 5 sets and stuff and maybe a 720. But you'd have to get used to it. I rode one once and kept hitting my knees on the bars. Im 5'8, I ride a 20.5"
