i want to get a new frame for Christmas but i don't know which one to get because i want to have it be a good one, money is some what of a factor and so is strength but im only like 120 lbs so strength isn't that big of a deal the reviews are both pretty good so help me choose
thanks

To be honest, every frame on the market at the moment is light. I don't think there is a single one that would so heavy to make a difference in your riding. A Terrible One Barcode or a Bone Deth Creepozoid is light.

May I ask why? It won't change really anything it also makes your bike fell weird and do you even know what geo you'd like? It's u find the geo first, then you check out brand and strength and feachures then I usually look at the weight the wtp frames are awesome and they're 5 pounds.. Most stock frame are like 6 and a Half pounds.. Still lighter..

I have a s&m ATF strong and I'd consider it to be light.. Dude 5 oz isn't ganna make shit for a difference.. 16 oz is a pound and it also depends how the weight is disputed around your bike.. You could make a bike that weighs 26 but feels like 23 or 22

I think you'd be better off buying a scooter if you're that worried about weight.
The Stolen Cherry would be the better choice out of those two but Eastern has two great frames on their website for $164.

Get the Haro Zebra, It's cheap, strong, it has a 75 inch head tube and a 13cm chainstay. If you get that I assure you that you'll be rubbing your hands like birdman cos yo rich and yo gonna be in luigis mansion with 30 hoes on yo dick for real.

Pretty much anything under 5 lbs is light. You won't notice much. And a frame is one of the mose important parts of your bike , you want it strong.

The Zebra is essentially just a stock frame.

That's the Dinero, the Beacon actually has a pretty long back end.
It's a decent frame.
