Hi guys, I'm looking for a frame. Anything under 500$. I need a few suggestions based on the following:
-im 6'2"
-Ride both park and street, I prefer park
-4130 chromoly throughout
- 20.8 top tube and up.
I was looking into the Hyper Wizard frame, looks very very nice and I love the jet fuel look. Any other suggestions? Thanks guys

Edited Date/Time:
Have you ridden a 21", or shorter TT bike yet? I'd personally recommend getting a frame with atleast a 21.25" TT (especially going with an aftermarket frame), but It's definitely a personal preference choice.
As for brands/ models you can pretty much get any of them with your budget...
If you want to go made in the USA:
FBM
S&M
Fitbikeco (aftermarket frames)
Lairdframe (Custom build starting a $450)
Standard Byke Co (can get a quote for a custom, also)
Terrible One (some are made in the USA)
For frames made overseas, It really just comes down to what frame/ brand image you like (obviously make sure it's 100% chromoly) .
There's a lot of frames out currently that would fit your criteria... lol
Do you know what CS length and BB/ SO height you want?

I'm guessing he's referring to his new Hoffman Bikes signature frame (Air Raid?) which is not out quite yet.

Thanks for the replies everyone... And for reference, I ride a 21" top tube with 9.25 rise bars and top load stem.

Your budget would allow for a custom setup from Lairdframe-or possibly Standard IF You wanted to go that route.
