Help me choose my new frame.
I'm fed up with finding a frame and putting it on my list, thats why you guys are going to choose one for me. I do VERY light street, mostly ramps and light park. I don't need a burly frame as I am smooth, and the lighter the better. I am pegless at the moment and I doubt I will stick them back on.
Choices are, in order of best to worst:
Sputnic Satelight.
FBM Stairmaster.
FBM The Joint.
Sputnic Stratocaster.
Superstar Light My Fire.
FBM Autopilot.
Kink Freebird.
FBM Capone.
The Take One True Avenue.
Fly Mosca.
SMPL Debut.
Choose or suggest me something else, expect this thread to be bumped a lot. Top tubes must be between 20.125-20.5

I've been over my thought on the Sunday frames plenty of times on here. SMPL Enigma is nice, but to big.

Fly Mosca if you will eventually run pegs, and that thing holds up to everything. If you really want something that much lighter, get one of the Sputnics, depending on whether or not you want gyro tabs.

If you plan on never putting pegs back on, then I'd suggest the Mutiny Burlish. Another one I'd suggest is the Mutiny Nocturnal. Still could run pegs if you wanted, steep head tube angle for nose manual madness, and a tear droped dent resistant down tube. Out of your choices I'd go with the Stairmaster, the Joint, the One True Ave, or the Debut, but I'd also add the enegma to that list as its such a nice frame and it's shortest length is only .5" longer then you said you'd like. But thats not hard to get used to, and you may even thank yourself for going longer.

How is the nocturnal ugly... It looks like every other frame out, but the down tube just looks thicker from the side.

One more question, I know the Kink Freebird is still for sale as is the Superstar Light My Fire, but I cannot find them for sale on any mailorders. Little help on that?
Especially the Superstar.
