No one degree! way less.. It actually provides from having too much spacer over the HT which is pretty ugly

isn't flatland all about image?  anyways they are smart to give themselves a recognizable 'image' or 'brand' which makes them stand out from the rest of the flooded market.

OH BOY this is why flat is dying . Flatland is all about riding and progression , not colour coding your pants with your backwheel .

wow, no need for name calling dude--i'm still wearing jeans and run BOTH brakes (plus my bike is BUTT ugly).  looks like that team is progressing AND having fun.  flatland is dying because everytime a rider-owned company puts out parts we all go and criticize the parts and the riders.

i removed the name calling but anyway its a little more complex than that , we all criticise parts because so many sh*t parts have been released its untrue and if people persist on buying parts based on how they look then progression in quality will take a backseat .Its pretty evident with the light weight fad .

Whats with the spacer underneat the HT..Is that to change angles? or am i just thinking to much...

What spacer underneath the HT?  Like where the headset bearings go?  Or do you mean the "gusset" underneath the down tube?  I'm not following here...maybe I'm a bit slow?

look in the pics of matthias bike *on the left And raphs bike *on the rite* you can see a small spacer..which looks like a midschool1 1/8th headset cup.

Hmm...fashion..or not...An option to stack a select few spacers underneath isnt that bad an idea. Altho i dont see how it doesnt change HT angle and or front end height...
