What's up guys. I'm in need of a new street ride, currently I rock my wifes 2hip bmx bike but my ankles can't take the beating any longer after braking them multiple times. I am looking to jump back on a mtb for the street. I started out on a GED broke that and went onto an Addict, sold that and went to a Commencal and have thrown a leg over a Dobermann as well as multiple 4x, downhill and bmx bikes. It also helps that I worked at a bike parts wholesaler a couple years back.
Onto my needs, I need a frame made in the U.S that shares more in common with mtb's than with bmx's. I could just choose from the multiple U.S mfg's like Tonic, BMW, S&M, Black Market, Dobermann etc... I don't do this though because I know that more of these are built for a set of dj's than the street. I'd also prefer a real U.S mfg that makes all frames in the U.S like S&M but if the MOB is the winner then so be it. This build will be complemented with most likely Hadley hubs unless it's more suitable to run bmx hubs, a front susp fork and probably 26's. Last but not least the frame has to come in at less than $800. I refuse to spend more than that on a non custom fram
e. I might throw out that I'm not one for tricks but will huck anything out there.
