China: Far East Cycles Flatland Frame

Far East Cycles (FEC) is a Chinese bike company. They designed a flatland frame together with Jean William Prevost aka Dub who shared the photos with us so we guess it can be called his signature frame. In the specs we found some 'interesting' things like the CN BB which must the Chinese version of a Euro or Spanish BB. We assume it's compatible with one the two. Furthermore the frame has an integrated seat clamp and some little details like a CNC machined FEC logo. Below are the specs:

Top Tube: 19"
Chain Stay: 12.65" and 13"
Head Angle: 74°
Seat Angle: 69°
Weight: 1950g

You'll find some more details and photos in the parts section: FEC - Dub Frame.

Red Bull Street Maharaja with Ucchie in India

Ucchie went to India for 3 days to do flatland workshops with the local riders in Pune which is the 9th largest city of the country. The whole project is called Red Bull Street Maharaja. It's really promising to see that Red Bull is supporting flatland in India which could have a very big scene once flatland gets more famous over there. Dipak who is one of the most committed flatlanders in India interviewed Ucchie for the video. Furthermore you get to see his upside down bikeflip again in case you just can't get enough of it (we can't). Check it out!

danindia.com posted a report with a few more details.
