Maybe ... 20" of love?

Now that I've been riding again (Just smooth park ramps TRP,MI) I have a P.24 Frame with a 21.6 top tube.
I'm 6 ft. 215lb. I'm just wondering now if I got the 22" Macneil Duece Duece frame put on a higher seat post (old school) if I could air that bike, and feel comfortable on it? Why do people say a 22" top tube is too long for a 20" bike? And if you bought a duece duece would 22" rims work on that bike or are you stuck running twenty inch rims?
I guess I'm liking that 22" Faction bike. Just wish they were more abundant, and could test ride one.
• I guess I would like to ride a hooked up Macneil • a hooked up liquid • and a hooked up 22" Faction.

The only people that I know that ride the 22 inch top tube frame are all over 6.5 feet tall.

I'm 6'2" and was wondering about a longer tt as well. But then it only bothers me when I swap between my dj'er and my 20 (old school WTP Thrillseeker - 21"tt). Handlebar height feels kind of funny, too. What rise bars are you guys riding?

The Mankind Justice Frame seems to have that top tube slanted a little low. I wonder if an old school guy could can can that top tube if you ran your seat post kind of high. I kind of want to ride an 20" frame and fork at these ramp parks but I just dont think I could ride the seat so slammed. Just saying.
