simtra bnb
px ghost, maybe jackflash?
ive rode an stp really nice for street not incredibly awesome for trials but im sure you could get by with it considering i ride a kona scrap and are hella good haha
custom steel would be what i would do but that costs money which i dont have.

I would say you are definitely looking at either a PX Zebdi, or custom steel. The BnB has too much BB drop (-20). The Zebdi is THE street/trials bike. If I went custom steel for a street/trials frame, I would get Zebdi geo with 1 cm longer WB a 0.5 cm longer stays. (Zebdi geo is HA 74, BB 0, CS 400, WB 1023 w/ a PX Knifen).

Yeah that is the best thing you can do. Make a otherwise trialsy bike into a more streety one by getting shorter stem, and mountain handlebars. Just be careful no to get a frame that has a high bb. That way it won't be streety no matter what you do.

I've ridden the BnB with a 3" fork, and it felt very good, the BB really did not feel to be that low...
The Ghost would be a good choice, the zebdi is a bit too short for a street bike IMO, as you would normally want to stay away from stems longer than ±70mm on a street bike setup...
I've personnally been riding the KOXX Code as a street bike for 2 years now and just loving it...

Look into norco or planet x.
I'd go with a norco cause it'll fail but last much longer then a planet x.

And cost half as much as a Norco...

Zebdi, Leeson, Giant Team Trials, Alibongo are not street frames. They are street trials / old school trials frames. Go to Pinkbike and see what a street bike looks like.
Anyways, I recommend NS Bikes Suburban to the original poster. Its geometry is similar to Norco Moment but it has horizontal dropouts.

Read the original question much?
Every sugestion has been valid except for yours. What, GOogle whatever your unheardof frame is? Cool, thanks for the help.
OH, THAT FIGURES! It's german.

Dont know if its availible where u live, but check Author A-Gang. Its cheap.

author a-gang is an awesome streety trials frame. it bunnyhops and manuals like a mad even with a rigid fork and a reasonably long stem while not losing it's above the average trials possibilities, but if you want, you can shove a 130mm fork and a 40mm stem on it and go do some massive stairgaps. one of the best streety-trials frames ever. (that's probably because it was designed by spaceman, who himself rides trials and street both on his signature frames)

Then if you want to use BMX handlebars and 20" wheels on the Zebdi to increase clearance for you feet and knees, that's another story
