Just for fun ;D, what parts would you use to build a 24inch flatland bike if you had the cash?

sunday makes a 24" kit. alex and sun do 24" rims.   all else transfers over

You can't find "flatland" specific tires in this size.  I know a guy who rides flat on a cruiser, and asked him about it...he said "no", but he said he did adapt to knobby tires.

That would be a "negative" boss.

Hmmm...have to check it out.  I was kind of looking to build a 24"...would want it to be flatland capable too. 

Thanks for the tip.

sbc and other companies can do custom f/f, the model c would be nice to build off of I guess
the biggest limiting factor would be the tires, the khe mac 24 tire would work but probably would not last long;D

If you are for real, you probably spend enough time on your bike that there's no time left for talking sh*t on message boards.

Of course, if all you do is talk sh*t on message boards, you're probably not as good or as cool as you think you are.

If you look closely at the Path and Frequency G tire they are very very similar
