Is the traffic 24" only?
This the new economical frame for dirt jumping and street offered by NS. In fact it's very similar to their much loved 2007 Suburban frame. Strong and light, with fantastic geometry, this frame is the choice for anyone on a budget who is serious about dirt or street. The Traffic frame is made of double butted Japanese cromoly which really sets a new standard in frames at this price level.

Specs:

Weight: 2.65kg
Wheel: 24”/26”
Chainstay: 382-400mm
Top-Tube: 556mm
Hubs: MTB spacing
BB: Euro
Headset: 1 1/8 STD


I just bought a Traffic online in White and my buddy bought a Sub in Blue. I'm super stoked can't wait for it to arrive Wednesday!

Frames arrived yesterday!! They are sweet!!! Thanks Biketrop!

Cool, man!! Glad you guys liked them!!

I think you can buy the traffic now if you need him now because there's almost no difference between the suburban and the traffic only the colour, the frame is the same, so it's your choice.

If you think the colour of the suburban is better than you should take the suburban but if you want a blue black or white than it isn't worth the extra money, I have a black traffic.

well i liked the blue traffic so unless i come into some extra cash all at once i'll probably get the traffic, plus i'd be able o ge3t a new steer tube pressed into my dj. but since you have a traffic i wanted to ask something, I've heard that you cant fit 2.3 tires into the traffic frame, is that true? and how does it ride.
thanks for all the opinions and input form everyone

You can but your wheel needs to be perfectly trued at least with k rads 2.3... Go with 2.25 or less. The frame is great for the money

damn i already have the k-rads in 2.3, but they are bald so i guess i need a new tire anyways cough sb8 cough so now i just need to get my finances together then get ordering. and on the color i can always repaint it doesn't effect warranty Wink but i do like the aqua blue. on a side note no one has heard of any broken or dented traffics have they, since i dont think they're heat treated like their more expensive siblings
EDIT** anyone from canada where did you buy your frame from i'm going to have order it where would you recommend?
