The 21"TT and the 330mm(?) layback post makes it a bit roomier in the cockpit (for my needs).
It's gonna be a fun bike to boot around the neighbourhood......
Nice. My 21" is pure race - no one is sitting and pedaling that without a stupid-looking seatpost extension.

Actually I've upgraded from the Haro, because I'm an idiot...... I'll edit my tagline.....

I'm now on a Yess World Cup.

Yess isn't operating as a brand name anymore, but Hydrogen BMX is still running out of the same factory in British Columbia and selling a very similar bike.

LOL - BMX is great for impressive-looking trophies. That was just a 3rd and a 4th from our provincial championship weekend, and 4th for the series out of novice & intermediate riders.

And I buy used bikes. Definitely not paying new retail for these things.
