yes i did some research.
i can get the premium 2005 frame for 105-110$ brand new. the frame looks amazing. just some things i wasnt able to find out about.
1.how long is the backend?
2.where can i buy a conversion kit for bb?
3.it comes in 20.5 and 21 should i go with the 20.5 seeing as how im aprox. 5'4" at 105 pounds.
can anyone answer these questions and give me their opinions on the frame. (i currently own a stock poverty buck 99)

i think that every frame is good for dirt and park, except flatland frames and race frames. not all frames are good for street

backend...14"-15" depending on where the wheel is in the dropouts...tt is either 20.5"
or 21"...conversion kits are sold by just about every mailorder...(albes, danscomp, empire..) i would buy it from Dans since you can get the Poverty conversion kit....and go with the 20.5" since your shorter....THE FRAME IS AWESOME....it works for dirt...too..
