Zer0 Joined: 2007-03-13 Posts: 4 Location:	I found this site when I started looking for a new bike, I have had a variety of bikes, mountain and a couple BMX bikes, and I want to get back into BMX. I noticed a lot of flatland stuff on the web and it got me hooked. I guess the first step for me is to get a bike, I have a budget of about 600 bucks, so I could tell by FF that a custom was a little hard to do. I saw an earlier post about taking the DK Signal and parting it for a better quality frame, and doing that would be both in my price range and give me a little room to shop for a slightly better frame. If I take that route, I would buy the DK and probably a Suelo Simple frame. Would this be a good choice for a beginner rider? And also , i would probably cruise around college on this bike as well, so will it hold up to the rigors of campus life, or will it bend and crack leaving me with no frame? I have heard a lot of frames are good for flatland, but very fragile and street will not work with them. Any help would be appreciated.

	Welcome to flat. I would say buy the Signal, and replace as needed. If you're getting into the sport try the bike out the way it is, then modify from there. You'll find that other parts will break before the frame does on most cheap completes. My handlebars on my first bike was the first thing to go. The most important thing is to have fun. You could have your dream bike and still not enjoy yourself. Have fun!

	Yeah, just get the DK and see how you like it. Once you get some basics down you can start to see what you need to get replaced. Try to ride with some other people too. Quamen for Life!

	I bought a signal about a year ago and now im linking up multiple pinky squeaks to mcCircles and nothing needs replacement so far except for new grips and tires, so go for it anyone who wants to start flat Converted from hardcore street, to FLAT..
