the top tube lengths make them spin faster
you can run 26 inch wheels on the 24 inch frame that would make it even shorter

Get a suburban. They are mint. they're light, ride well nice, cheap and come in good colours. just one thing wrong with them, they're not strong. I cracked mine! lolBig Grin

I own a Dobermann Pinscher and my buddy has the NS Suburban so I am in a very good position to run my mouth right now. It will depend a bit on the parts that go on the frame, how much you spend and what you really want out of the bike but.......If you plan to do mostly street riding, you will find the NS Suburban is the lighter bike of the two. You will find it about a pound or 2 less when you build it up. But, at the same time, the Dobermann will definitely be the tougher frame out of the two. I have heard of a few people breaking NS frames (including the dude above ^^). As far as looks, the Dobermann has way more color choices (including custom colors and glow-in-the-dark), whereas NS has a rather shitty palette of colors to chose from i.e. White, Balck (which will be impossible to find), Ugly yellow, and Ugly Purple. My buddy's NS is the better street bike and my Dob is more at home on the Dirt, but that's also how we built up the bikes. I'm not trying to make up your mind, just help you make an educated decision. If you are buying your parts new, be prepared to spend at least $3000 or you're going to have a shitty (or used) bike. I've got a pic of my rig on my profile and my buddy put up pics of his white Suburban on here yesterday. Good luck dude!!

No problem dude. If you have any more questions, feel free to message and ask me. I have an advice guy for the build I'm currently working on and it really helps when you have someone that owns the bike to bounce questions off of. Whatever frame you chose, it will be very sweet. I just checked the frame weights and the Suburban is almost a pound lighter. Cheers dude.

i have a suburban and it is mint-the geo is awesome and it is super light. people say that the suburban frame is weak but i know it will last me like another year or two. i would have thought about a dobermann but hard to get hold of in the uk. i am pretty sure the dobermann would be stronger
