Looking for the lightest, strongest frame I can get, BUT it has to use a regular bottom bracket, no euros please. I have an old redline threepeice that I love lots so I'm not willing to change it.

Someone suggested the Fly Diable but yeah, it was a euro BB

so?

all the good light frames these days come with euro bb's so either you will have to giveup your cranks and get something like one of the standard OX frames or get a heavier weight frame with an american bb

Well, let's start the list...

Alliance PSI

FBM - all their frames are available w/ euro or Amer.

King Bikes "Trial"

Kink JC or Freebird.

S&M PBR, which I hear they're working on a lighter version of

T1 Barcode

If you want as light as possible, I'd probably go with with Kinks - they're under 6 lbs.

If you want the strongest frame on that list, I'd probably go with the T1, which comes in at around 6.4 lbs.

have you looked at the Fly Pantera? pretty light (sub 6 lbs) and has options of euro or bmx bb shell. Lots cheaper than most similar frames too (at least it is in europe)
