Hi everyone. Looking to get a new flatland complete. I rode in my teens and early 20s 15+ years ago and would like to get going again. Budget is $600 - $900. I was thinking about getting La Bastille. The complete seen here:
https://harobikes.com/products/la-bastille (I'd get it through my local shop but that same bike). I'm around 6' 2" tall, so some people might suggest a bike with a longer TT but my old frame was 19" (WTP Pony) and it worked fine for me. (I am the same height now as I was when I stopped riding). I will be using the bike for flatland only. I will need to get a front brake and gyro but I might be able to take the ones off an old bike stashed at my mom's house (unless she trashed it lol). I'm also unsure about using tires that thick -- 2.4". I had 1.95 tires on my old bike and I thought those were big. But I'm curious to give them a try and will replace them down the road.
But anyway, what do you think about this complete? Frame seems to have the geometry and weight I'd want, so I'm less concerned about that, but I don't really know anything about the other components.
The other complete I was looking into is the WTP Sinus. It's pricier but it comes with front brake/gyro and has thinner tires. It also might be harder for my shop to get one. I also figure it makes sense to go with La Bastille's 19.5" TT versus the Sinus' 19", since I'm tall. I know I can manage with a 19" since I've used one before, but I figure might as well go with the one that's a little bit longer.
