If you haven't got a budget then maybe look into something like a Nicolai (http://www.nicolai.net/). Frames are around $1500-2000 from memory, depending on what options etc you get :)

A BMXTB would be sick, but I’m not sure on their weight.

The BMXTB is 2.8kg and the BMXTB 4X version is 2.2kg.

A NS Suburban (26") is 2.5kg.

There's not a huge difference between them. It's probably easier to get a sturdy frame and save money on some lighter forks and wheels anyway.

No. The kelvar is attractive to the street riders who listen to rap. Kelvar is what makes up the majority of bullet proof vest. Hence the reason why they want a bullet proof bike. Thats where its at nigger. YO!
