Re: need new frame.. any suggestions posted on 2007-03-01 15:24:19

Alright, this is just my opinion.
If you have the money, get any KHE frame except for the Impact or the Method2.

 

Re: Difference between flatland frames? posted on 2007-02-26 22:49:25

Flatland frames are usually shorter than normal frames and sometimes have a bent downtube, for your legs or something like that, I would guess.

As for completes, the quality varies.
Pretty much it's like this.

As the money you're willing to spend rises, so does the quality of the bike.
You can buy completes that pretty much need nothing as soon as you get on it.
Like the MirraCo Blend and Black Pearl LTDs (Dave Mirra and Ryan Guettler signature bikes.)
But for a bike like that, the pricetag is outrageous.
Like $1,100.
But if you wanted to build the same bike piece by piece you'd be spending well over $1,500, maybe even into the two grand area.
Anyways, enough about that.

The KHE Stylus looks really good for a solid flatland starter bike. If I were you I'd go and get it.
Now, the thing about the KHE DaFunction is that it'll probably cost considerably more than the Stylus.
I'd get the Stylus and as I progress more I'd replace more parts to hold up to the rigors of my riding.
Hope I helped.

 

Rear hub help. posted on 2007-02-26 15:50:19

So basically, right now I'm running a 14mm Specialized Flipside hub.
What would be the best way to destroy it without taking it off my bike?

I don't ride flatland, but I use 28/13.
For me, it works well with street, park, and trails.
As well as getting places.

I used to ride 2, but I started riding 4.
I'm working on grinds on my opposite side right now.
