New school flatland bikes

Hi
Has anyone got a new school flatland bike? I am thinking of getting rid of my mid school Fishbone Kong Fu and getting a light new school bike

i never really liked the bar stem combo so i put a short reach stem on and some odyssey terry adam bars. it's a short frame, think it's 18" toptube and it's a lot less effort to lift and spin it. i still do 80s tricks too but i do try some more modern one's with a little success but not much.  ;D

i ride flatland on an odyssey waltz. light and not 18.9" tt. bit more manouvarble with lighter bike - but if you ride bit of park/street too go for something built for all.

deco frames seem good, same as the new wethepeople utopia and few others.

have a gander on flatland fuel to get some ideas. most of my bike is via ebay uk from time to time. no khe baked bean tin headtube frames though.  :LolLolLolLol:
