I'm trying to figure out what frame I want to go with. I have an '05 P-1 now, and I am looking at the Atomlab Trailking or the NS Bikes Suburban. I am leaning towards the trailking, but the only thing that makes me think twice is the internal headset. I know they are becoming very popular in BMX and hardtails alike, but I have never owned a bike with one. Is there anything that I should really worry about with that?
The Suburban allows for a standard headset, but the chainstays are about a half inch longer. It is also about $70 cheaper. The two are basically the same weight and the specs are very similar.They are the prob the best choices available to me at the shop I work at, so I am looking between these two (mainly for cost). Anyone have any time on the Suburban or Trailking? Any guidance will be appreciated.
