this bike has a 20.75" top tube, but is that 1/4 inch really a big deal?

Well, you are 6'7", so think it actually may. BUT, i rode a 20" with 6.5" bars for 6 months and i am 6'.
but i ride a 21"TT with 8" bars and it feels amazing.
You could try riding a 20.75"tt bike first, then see if it's too small.
Honestly, go to your local BMX store (if you even have one, i know it's a long shot) and see how a similar bike feels. You may have to get huge bars to make it comfortable.

I am 6'. How much difference would there be from a 20", 20.25", 20.5", 20.75" and 21" frame? What would be the ideal size? And how big of a difference is .25" in frame size?
Reason I ask is it seems like as bikes get more expensive they get a longer top tube.I guess because as people get older they get taller and have more money so that is how they market the bikes.

Only the 3-series completes are any good. 1 and 2 are terrible.

And the thinking in modern terms thing, it's been several years since they built just a single series of solid completes.

here is what fit made in 2007, not once is series mentioned
https://bikepedia.com/QuickBike/Bikes...nd=Fit+Bike+Co.
And the 2nd series is junk, still hi tensile parts. I would never buy it personally.

The Fit series used to be the Am, Pro, Team, Flow, etc. But the new line looks really good, and the new 2.5 bikes are nice. Fit's shot now though. They lost pretty much everybody except Cleveland, Aitken, Ed, and a few others. I can't believe the guys they lost. I heard rumor of Morales starting his own team though.

It looks cool
I am waiting for some more parts for my 2nd wave build up
Just have to pick some rims I want to run then will post my new build on here.
I am thinking about either the 48h ribcages oR the 48h Midways for it.
