Having a hard time deciding between these two bikes. mainly for pump track and some DJ's

here are the specs, maybe you guys can help me decide

Used 2009 superco charger
2009 x-fusion velvet
sunline 745 bars
thomson x4 stem
syncros dp28 rims laced to generic hubs (both 10mm bolt on hubs)
profile cranks
avid elixir brakes
pivotal seat and post
atomlab trailking pedals
kenda small block 8's

or

New 2010 NS suburban (the rest of the build is used)
2010 rock shox revelation 20mm lowered
hope pro 2 hubs (20mm front 10mm back) laced to sun charger rims with supercomp spokes
thomson x4 stem
sunline 745 bars
shimano hone cranks
avid elixir brakes
wtb devo saddle with generic seatpost
atomlab trailking pedals
kenda small block 8's

In the end the NS would cost me $200 or so more but would be new with warranty while the Charger is from a local company and is a nicer frame IMO

His is baby blue, assuming its the 1 for sale on pinkbike, pretty good shape too.
yep it is the one on pinkbike. Was getting ready to head down to the LBS to order the NS frame when I saw it.

Making it raw would not be to hard though in the future

Alright, I suck. I got the NS

After talking with the guy there were way too many things i would have had to change out on the bike to get it where i want it. I would get new tires, gearing, pedals, and cranks (his are 180's). Also i prefer 20mm front instead of 9mm forks and euro BB to mid (so I can run mtb cranks). So i ended up getting the NS which will have a lot nicer spec list, be a fair bit lighter, cheaper (after considering money to swap parts on the charger) and have a full warranty on it since im buying it new.

I owned a NS suburban back in 2007 and loved it. Im sure this one will work out. I do wish i could get a charger but the NS was a ton cheaper and has a good reputation as well.

Here is the official spec list

2010 NS suburban flat black
2010 rock shox 150mm revelation 20mm lowered to 100mm, white
sun charger rims to hope pro 2's with supercomp spokes
single speed conversion with 14t sprocket
Gusset bling slink half link chain
kenda SB8 2.1 rear and 2.35 front
avid elixir CR brakes
shimano hone crankset
atomlab trailking pedals (for now)
thomson x4 stem
sunline bars
odi grips
easton ec90 carbon post
wtb devo saddle

Don't have any clue what the weight will be but i would have to guess sub 28 easy
