So I havn't ridden in a couple years and was going to get back into it. I'm 6' 3" and about 190lbs... I know I'm going to drop $800-$1100 total. Any frame recommendations? The rest of the components I can figure out. but if there's some hot I need to know about let me know. Oh yeah, Trails and street riding...

I was looking at the sunday frame. Why is it so good? Plus I was thinking about the FMB deployer. Any thoughts?

The Sunday is made out of odyssey's '41 thermal' tubing. I don't know if it's stronger than regular cromoly, but it might be. It also has hollow dropouts that are supposed to be stronger than solid ones and good specs for the price, if you like lightish frames.

Buy a 21.5" frame thats on sale, if its been a few years you dont want to go buying something super expensive/light or you may break it.
