New school ones are hugely priced new, and still redeem a lot value second hand as not many are sold in the first place.
KHE do some cracking flatlanders called the A-damn bank breakers new though

My lad has an aluminium Dragonfly flatlander midschool era, picked the frame and GT forks up cheap off Stu at MK. cost me less than a £100 to put this together, already had the wheels and stem cranks

Nice that

Its not too bad considering its a bitsa build! If I'd built it my way I wouldve exploited the light frame, but my lad wanted the 25/9 gearing with a back wheel that actually weighs more than the frame!!!!!

sometimes you may get lucky with a decent complete on the bay. i always save flatland bmx in my phone for browsing on there from time to time.

the older the frames/bike though some may be very heavy. and most of the newer ones tend to be brakeless.

good luck!

i bought a quamen delta 2 off ebay for £290 complete, everything on it was mint. a friend of mine is selling a hoffmann pl1 which is brand new and never been ridden but just missing the rear wheel, he bought it from winstanley's incomplete then realized a new rear wheel was gonna cost about 100-140 so he's decided to sell it.
