been looking for a new street frame, and have narrowed it to a DMR Transition 26 or an NS Suburban. I like the DMR, but does it really weight 7lbs? that's the only detractor for me so far.

Have only found one place online (in the U.S.) that carries the NS Suburban -- anybody else selling this frame?

Also, I'm 6'4", so I want something with a fairly long top tube. Currently riding a MountainCycle Rumble frame, which feels good on dirt jumps and fits me well, but is sluggish for street/park. Open to any other suggestions. thanks.

As you are tall i dont think that suburban is for you, have one and its a very small frame, but it feels great , has a great Geo. a friend of mine has a blackmarket riot in size S and its very similar to my suburban, i think that a large blackmarket may be a good option for you.

As someon has said the before the Suburban may be too small for you, but its a great frame so if you decide to go with it just don't get lime green cause thats my color ;)

Also BTI sells the suburban, so you can pretty much get it from 50% of the bike shops in USA.

Also.... I'm about 6'2" - 6'3" and I didn't feel cramped on it. I was riding mostly street though so I wanted a slightly smaller bike. My Dobermann does have a longer TT now.
