got me flatland bike built and ready as summer is coming



a dna hopper 2. with freehub and fat pegs



savage headtube



quick rear end. this bike is small, even for me


if anyone else wants to build up a flatland bike i have a set of 4 alloy fat pegs and some 1 1/8" mongoose forks with zero rake and ad lugs going spare

ok i will bring it to bones.

yes the bars are wide, i never cut them down

i like to be able to grip the bars and seat to do "side glides"  :-[

its a heavy bike, but it rolls really smoothly

well the wheelbase is around 34" and the head tube angle is very severe

oldschool as is skinny axle extenders? no. the fat pegs are so nice to stand on!

ah right! still no though.
although they are probably sound, the big alloy pegs are best for flatland. you can get away with a lot on a flatland bike as they look odd anyway. so 2" knurled pegs dont stand out. and they are comfortable to stand on, with a lot less chance of missing your footing
