Go for it. How much is $380 in Canadian compared to American? The bike is $360.

The Canadian dollar should be stronger than ours.

my 2cents

that bike will work. it has all the features you'd want, but at fairly low quality compared to the stuff available and used by a lot of serious riders. a 33lb street bike for flatland? eh. after enough time trying tricks, you'd probably end up hating it. a better choise for a flatland-specific complete is the DK Signal or Metric if available. i'll post a couple links/pics if i can of some rides under $400 fo ya.

the colors may not be your thing, but it's a very good bike.




$379
KHE Stylus

overall, lighter and a bit nicer than the signal

Wow, the Stylus is wierd looking. It could be because I've never really looked at a flatland bike.

check out St. Martin's products. they released some flat-specific cranks a while back and i think that they released a frame too. check them out and maybe youll walk away happy.
