Hi! New member and first post!
I know this topic likely has been covered many times, but I'm looking for some specific guidance. I use to ride a little flatland as a kid and I'm now looking to get back into it. I need a bike! Challenge is getting something in the door within my $500 budget.
I've been doing some reading and have some base knowledge, but I'm looking to expand on that a little more. I see most people suggesting a specific geometry for flat like a 19" TT and 0 offset forks. Beyond that, I know I need brakes, which means a gyro too. What's the difference between a standard park/street bike and flatland bike?
Can I get away with buying a budget BMX with a relatively close geo and converting it to flat? One of the local shops carries lots of BMX and some under budget enough that I should be able to pick up forks, bars, gyro and pegs and come close to budget.
I'm concerned that the Eastern Enso from flatlandfuel will be way over my budget once I ship it here (Canada).
Thanks for the help,
Spencer.
