Does anyone know much about flatland frames? Quite like the look of this but wondering whether the odd geometry and short T.T would suit park/street riding $:-\$

no, it wouldn't

12" back end, most park/street start at 13" + , top tube is not even 19", whereas park/street start at 20"

flatland frames are so specialised now

if you wnt something for everything, flat, ramp, street, then i would suggest something with a 19.5"-20" toptube. any smaller and you may find it hard to ride ramp or street on it.

if you were gonna ride a bit of flat, street, skateparks then depending on your height see if federal still do the hamilton 19" tt model - or keep an eye on ebay. sometimes pop up. i ride flatland due to knackered knees on ramps ( and always ridden flat anyway). i ride a 18.9 tt odyssey waltz. used to ride a 19 tt proper dolomite. its around same length as an old master i think.
