Does anyone know of a frame that i can ride to work, ride urban after school and do trials on the weekends. So basicly i need a frame that would allow me to do trials, ride urban and still be able to ride it to work or my friends house. Is there anything like that or am i going too far :confused: (also i need a frame to be able to support a 100mm travel fork and im no rich boy so anything under $500)
Thanks a lot :)

instigator

look at a surly instigator yet? I've seen them built up for everything from hardcore commuting, to hardtail downhill. I have mine built up as an urban beast (single speed, five inshes of travel up front, 2.35 k-rads). its cheapish (less than $400) and can fit huge tires. check it out:

planetX zebdis are trials frames, but many have been reincarnated as street/urban bikes (including mine). Works well, and is fairly cheap, give them a look up.
