Looking at buying a street/ park frame...and I feel like I need to act fast, because the suburban park is discontinued, so I not sure how long they will be available.... So I need suggestions. Please keep in mind:

I'm counting out the streetsweeper...as this is basically a spare parts-build, and that frame takes an 83mm spindle. I already have about 7-8cranks to choose from, none of which are 83mm, and they're all 2 piece style...not convertible by replacing only the spindle.

Also, all of my hubs/ wheelsets are 135mm x 10mm bolt ons, , but I have a 10mm to 14mm conversion kit. I know it's rare, but 14mm x 135mm rears are a possibility as well... (Yes they do exist, in fact the ns capital is 135mm x 14 iirc.)

Sorry if this is a redundant thread, but j don't feel like adding this to one of the mega threads.

Also keep in mind I'm buying NEW ONLY, so no 'check the buy/sell' responses, please. I already have, and the only ads I'll consider on there are brand new from a shop or brand new from a private seller with no marks in the dropouts whatsoever (you can't put wheels on a frame and ride it with out smudging the paint a little).

I spend way too much time at Joyride to trust anyone's used frame. I would only recommend one to a beginner or someone riding decent, small jumps. As this is a spare build, I want to get a decent frame at least. Also going to be attempting 360drops down staircases, I would rather not worry about my headtube snapping off upon landing.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Hope I'm not being dense, but what do you mean by an 83mm spindle? Are you talking about bottom bracket shell width? That would normally be 68 or 73mm.

I use a 6" Profile spindle with bmx Profile cranks on my Black Market Mob, which has a 73mm wide bb shell.

Sorry, I meant that, yes. 83mm BB... shell. width.

None of my bikes thus far have had 83mm, so none of my spare cranks are compatible. I was considering a Black market, but not sure about them...I considered a MOB frame but theyre either discontinued or on back-order... either way, because I need to act fast I'd rather not wait on them while other people snatch all the sub parks... because like I said, Its just subs for 2015- no park or dirt. specific.

Also considered an EDIT 1... but the geo I would end up with wouldnnt be better for me to justify buying from Cali and spending an additional. 200 over what an NS would cost.

This is a spare parts build, after all. 500 canadian is pretty much my self-imposed limit
