so im lookin for a bike to replace my old evil imperial and im stuck on what to get. I was just wondering if any one had any apinions on what frame to get, D.O.C, sovereign or mob, its going to be primarily used for dirt jumping but also used for some park.
D.O.C, sovereign or mob?

mob,, or the new riot..
Mob. My DOC was too slack/tall for "real" DJ/Park. Good trail bike, or maybe a good DJ bike with like a 2" fork, but not great IMO.
Soveriegn is better but it's too expensive and the ST is too tall.
The MOB is badass this year. I'd get one of those, it's the most purpose-built one of the 3. Strictly DJ/Street.

I have a Sovereign and I love it. It is by far the best frame i've used for DJ/park. I have never tried a Mob/riot but they look like a good option aswell. I think either way you go you'll be happy.
if you get the mob, get the long one. so you can x-up. the smaller size did not allow you to.
why cant you x up on the short?,, you just have to spin to the side of your back foot.
alot of the 26" dj bikes dont really have the room for bar spins though. even if i went with the long on my ToP, i dont think i could bar spin. i need almost 2 more inches for it to clear my shoe.
dang that sov is a nice looking bike. I wish I hadn't sold mine...
ive narowed it down to the sovereign or mob, im 5' 10''ish so should i get a reg. or long. I would like room to bar spin and x-up but i also want to keep it as flickable as possible, im going to be runnin a argyle on it whatever frame it is
you should be good on a regular Sovereign, I'm 5'11" and my reg. feels perfect. I don't have barspin clearance on mine(not like I could if I did) due to the fact I have a super steep HA(72*) with the 65mm fork, but with the argyle you should be good.
And it's about the same size as a long mob.
Those things are tiny.
I've ridden plenty of both and the headangles are comparable.
I've got a reg/small DOC and I dig it. The only thing that would get me on a mob is the lower bb....which might happen this year.
