what would be your top choices for a super short chainstay frame for dj's and street that is relatively light, under $500, and able to ride dual 24's?
best 24 inch, short chainstay dj frame?

I don't think you will go wrong with either a Tonic Fall Guy or the Molly Maguire. I personally have a Fall Guy and love it, but the molly looks kick ass too. Geometrically they are quite similar. The one major difference is the seat tube length on the Fall Guy is around 9.5inches while it is about 12 inches on the Molly. So, if you like to thow turndowns and lookbacks, the FG gives a lot more room for those types of manuevers. The Fall Guy is a smidge more expensive ($550) versus the Molly ($500), but not outrageously so. Again, I really think that you can't go wrong with either frame.
im completely digging riding a rear disc though, so that sort of eliminates the tonic. i was talking to brad, of nemesis, about getting a streetfighter frame, but they are expensive. so im just trying to see what riders are preffering. it seems that fall guys and mollys are the top choices. i still have no idea what to get though. i think ill just save for a streetfighter though
the dmr rhythm sounds like the right bike to fit all your requirements, but if you really want a sick bike that works for you nemesis is where its at, or try draco, he might be able to build you exactly what you want for suprisingly little money
Thanks for thinking of USB.
On the Union-Street Bikes Molly, a verbage mistake (sort of) is on the geometry page.... it is 10" Center to Center on the seat-tube and 12" Center to top. If you intend to ride a lot of street I would suggest either the Molly or the Fall Guy as you'll save a lot of money on rotors and quite possibly bent axles.

Lethal, Thanks for correcting (me) regarding the geometry of the Molly's c/c seatmast. I thought that it looked nice and more compact than a 12" measurment would have inticated. I really like that bike, and the green is just killer. Congrats on an awesome frame.
im pretty sure i'll save for a nemesis, but to answer your suggestion, i've heard that mob's dont ride well with 24's
ya, i'd seccond the Revell.
bent axles?
yes the bb ends up super low on a mob with 24" but the Static ends up about the same but on purpose. so it makes sense to figure out what bb height works for you. also what kind of travel you intend to run/how long a fork.
Peyto could probably build to that price with some non-name brand tubing.
i'm happy riding street and park with a disc but i'm not comfortable trying icepicks on my left side anyway.

i second the nemesis, and now im getting a great deal thanks to brad. if i get it, i'll post pictures for you all to drool over :love: 
Short rear end and affordable....
chiming in here, i am a 26 guy so i dont ride the little bikes but i would def go molly or tonic as well, both are incredibly nice i have ridden joe prisel's bike a few times (when it was 24's) and loved it...that said i love tonic as a company and i think the fall guy has some great details...
i hear you on the disks because i like them as well but the more dj stuff i ride it is more apparent that properly setup bmx brakes are a sweet setup, you should consider it. if you go disk absolutely go 140mm
brad is a good dood at nemisis but those things are PRICEY...

This is the best way to go right now in my opinion. If the contraband is in a similar price range when it's released that would be comparable to the NS Capital.

Still pertinent to discuss quality 24" machines. But it's important to keep track of time too, nice work.
TONIC FALLGUY. Jesus rides a tonic so if its good enough for him, its good enough for you.
