Top tubes have always been top tubes. It is only the uninnitiated who ever called them crossbars. I seem to remember schoolmates refering to double chainsets as double clangers.

Ahem... since time immemorial schoolboys have given each other crossbar rides...
Never heard of anyone giving anyone a top-tube ride. 'Cept in gay porn. Not that I watch it. I'm strickly a "phwoooar, look at those panniers" type of guy!
