flat land on a dk
can i do flatlan on a dk cincinnati...? and also can someone define them for me, i searched the forums and all that jazz but i couldn't find a thread that answered what i was asking, the difference between
*flatland
*street
those two i haven't learned the difference between, which is the question i guess. is there a difference between those two so much so that i cant do flatland on a cincinnati? which i was told at the bike store that it was a street bike.
i think i know the third kind are the ones with one brake, and are dirt bikes, for like dirt jumping etc. not what i want to do.
help?

To do flat land, you'd want the bike to have 4 pegs instead of 2. You could do flat land on a street bike, and viceversa it wouldn't be that big of deal, just the geometry of the frames for flatland and street are a bit different.

is it easier to buy a new bike cause... a frame cost just as much as a decent flat land bike doesn't it?
