Long Frames?

I used to ride freestyle when I was 14 (started skating ALL THE TIME) now I am 20 and since loosing my license (now have it back) i've been really into riding bikes. I currenlty own a rode bike and mountain bike and love them both but really want to start riding some freestyle again. When I rode I had a schwinn Powermatic which was heavy but nice. Recently I tried a harro at a shop up in maine. It was fun to be back on one but the bike seemed extremly short.

What I'm asking is have I grown a lot (i'm 6' 2'') or do some bikes run longer then others (like schwinn compared to harro). If so what are a couple of manufactures that make nice longer frames. In this form it seems I've read a lot of good things about Hoffman Bikes? What are you opinions.

Many frames are availible in different sizes. Check the specs when you're shopping (Most shops have them). At 6' 2" the average top tube size is usually 20.75" or 21".
