I ride a Suelo Simple V1, weight 200 plus pounds (though losing weight and size fast, 8 pants sizes in just under 2 months) but I don't flatland, I ride parks with a mini ramp style and some mild street.
This bike weighs nothing, and I notice on the v3 frame they shaved part of the head tube to save weight. If thats the kind of thinking the company does, am I going to shear the head tube off and croak on a toothpick one day?
Also how strong do you think this is? ( http://www.flatlandfuel.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1159 ) its a Hoffman Strowler, probably taiwanese, but already has 14mm dropouts so I dont have to grind them to fit my axles
