light as in 2.5kg downwards?
the NS suburban is 2.4kg and $750 and i think there is going to be a 24 moon made of titanium and is meant to be really light,but that will cost a shiteload.

Woodman D is 2.25kg. It's also one of the most poorly designed frames out there but it is light.

charge in titanium or a suburban

[.:Alan:.]

Charge bikes IMO dont have the nicest geo, blkmrkt mob would be sik but 1200 abit to $$, suburban at 2.4, revell 450r at 2.5, toy4s weigh 2.6, SC Chameleon 2.1 although not to surre of the price.

*Disclaimer* I have an Orange MsIsle. It's very light.

If you're not opposed to 2nd hand, check out these two interesting specimens:

Super low stand over and solid looking frame.

Those two kinda look like what the 07 MsIsle has become...

Just so you won't have a non-descript skinny-tubed cromo frame like all the kids ;)

The New Identiti Krisis, 2.25 kgs inc seat clamp
or the DR Jekyll, Short @ 2.55 kgs, XL @ 2.65kgs

The charge iron ti's are >$2500 hardtail frame :rolleyes: (well they are 1000 pounds)

Yeah, the NS suburban is light, I'd get that or maybe look into the NPJ's, 24's (they'll be a bit more $$) and the Duncon pussy etc.

What is the weight of a Msisle frame? i know they are reasonably light but i forgot to weigh mine last time i had it in pieces and now im not stripping it just to weigh

[---Matt---]

My vote goes for the GT Brian Lopes. Not sure of the price, but I've seen a complete build under 12kgs with fox float forks

For DJ/Street? 4X Maybbbeee, but the geo feels way odd for DJ or Street IMO...

The new Limited Edition NPJ East Beast will weigh about 2.7kg, priced at $790 including FSA Headset. Geo is dialllleeeeed, sweet colours to chose from, no fuss Mid bb and Integrated headset. Shweet.

Not from what I've seen ;) There's a guy coming down to our jumps doing 360's, tailwhips and massive step ups on his. He said it's awesome for street/dj stuff because it's soooo light. It's awesome to watch :D I only wish I could do the same thing on mine!

My 24 Moon is 13.5kg and thats with pikes, profiles with a cro'mo axle and a heavy BMX saddle.

With the changes i have planned i should be able to get it down to 12.5kg

[Trialsguy]

The NS Suburban frame at 2.4kg is by far the lightest Cromo DJ/Street frame available.
All colours will be back in stock within two weeks.

If you are after something to do a bit of 4X too, then maybe you should consider the NS Bitch, its now at 2.8kg and has slightly longer stays and slacker head angle than the Suburban, for better handling at high speed.

Cheers,

Ben.

I think the Moon frame was going to be too expensive to import.

We Should have Moons in stock within 3-4 weeks, weight is about 2.9kg and price is expected to be around $1100-1200. They are not cheap, but you are getting what you pay for. The quality, geometry and looks are bloody awesome.
