Re: flatland frame choice help (please read)

used is good, it will be a rider. top tube needs to be on the shorter side.

You can get the double top tube subrosa pandora in shorter flatland versions but not sure where.

Just me but If i had the cash for a NS flat I'd get a fenix, then a Intrikat


A sight for sore eyes to the blind would be awful majestic. It would be the most beautiful thing that they ever had seen. It would cause such surprise, it would make all of their minds electric. How could anyone tell them that some things are not what they seem?

Re: flatland frame choice help (please read)

Two things here, Flat frames are 18.5" - 19" top tube length-ed and have a very low step over height.  This makes them great for whipping an passing around but not strong in the way a ramp frame needs to be.  Also the top tube length and over al wheel base would be too cramped.  I think you are trying to reconcile two disciplines that demand completely differed specifications from their bikes.

Blammo?  Zippo?  Haro is department store junk at this point not designed for real riding, just rolling around or getting little Johnny to little league practice on his own.

A recent development in the flatland world is street flat.  Matthias Dandios is currently using a Haro SD v2.  So I was wrong about not being able reconcile the two and Haro being junk.
