Whats your idea of a "big bike company". I've never seen a flatland bike 40 lbs. In fact, i've only seen a couple flatlandbikes over 30lbs. A complete KHE Equilibrium weighs 22.59 lbs. Most flatland bikes run 3/8 axles and 36H wheels. The bike is generally shorter, and the stems are alot shorter and smaller making them lighter. Some pegs are even drilled out to reduce weight. There is normally lighter weight rims and the seat is just a small chunk of plastic to grab when you do tricks. A true flatland bike, is by far lighter than a street bike, park bike or dirt bike.
