alright

ill give you my opinion. i have the militant ff at the moment and kinda regret it at the moment.
i like the geo of the militant. but the stem is so small and weak, i already broke mine after a couple months.  the opsis stem is nice and strong. the militant doesnt come with 3 piece cranks (which you would end up getting anyways) while the opsis does. when replacing the 1 piece crank on my militant, i also had to get new pedals and bb.
so i ended up spending more than i wanted just to ride.

i would go with the opsis..

I was in the same position not too long ago. I had a Haro n bought a DK Signal frame and switched the parts over. I wanted to get a Militant also. The Opsis should be ok for the money. I'm not too sure how diff the Opsis is from the Signal. But i like the signal frame. It's pretty tough. And Is perfect to me for riding around town without worrying about the frame breaking. I didn't like it at first cause it felt small. But I'm sure the Militant is too. After I got use to it I actually dig it alot! Just my opinion. If your a starter, It will get you more for the buck i think.

Opsis has a slimmer frame than the signal. I vote the DK as well however, but if u can afford it, the OG complete comes with top notch frame, fork, bars and stem with a 1pc crank vs the opsis' 3 pc and inferior aforementioned components. My friend had some freecoaster issues with his OG but that may have just been a fluke since they are both taska fc's. DK has a longer frame and offset fork compared to the OG's 0 offset fork.
