Rides great! I'm loving the super low standover height. The bars were a total surprise, I had no idea they were making them for me. They are lower(8.66") and narrower(24") than what I've been riding but I'm digging them. Obviously makes spinning the bars easier. It took me a minute to find the balance point on steamrollers because of the lack of leverage but it works better because it makes me rely less on leverage and more on proper balance. The geometry is -
Top tube - 19"
CS - 13 - 13.5"
ST/HT - 70/75
BB height - 11.5"

Check out fbook - https://www.facebook.com/destroybikes?fref=ts
or their website - www.destroybikes.com
They do mostly fgfs and bombproof bmx stuff. This is their first flatland frame. They're really stoked at how this turned out but I don't think they plan on doing a production run. I'm hoping people will see this and bug them to get into the flatland business. They are a great bunch of guys who make really excellent product. I'd love to see another company supporting the scene. If you're reading this you should friend them on facebook and ask them what's up w/ the flatland stuff.

They're made by Solid bikes. Head Tube & Gussets are IDENTICAL & they're made in Sacramento too. Your frame is real nice, but if you guys really wanted to get a frame built, i'd go straight to Solid.

I think Andy Cooper rode/is still riding that KGB frame. I've heard it's their strongest design and the longevity of it for a lot of riders goes to show that to be fairly true despite the horrible quality control.

Nice ride bro...

People can say what they want but Viki seem way more comfortable riding low tt frames than the frame he's riding now.. I don't really understand why I guy like him as to follow this non-sense fashion...

And we've seen that it isnt the strongest"design"...designers have great ideas, but they dont always work out.

These guys don't look very Solid to me. ;D


If my 210 lbs of old man sexiness manages to tweak it, I'll let y'all know. I've been riding the crap out of it and having a blast.

It's a "seat tube badge". Says Destroy in laser cut gothic lettering. I'll post some more photos up in a few days. I got my new back wheel built up, too. The directions that came w/ the KHE hub are curiously wrong in several ways.
