It does sound like a greet wheel, especially with it being pretty cheap.
A month ago you would have just been like "Word. Thanks man"

Whats with the haro wheel, and why would you go with a regular headtube? Especially after already having a frame with an internal one.

The flow frame sucked balls so I got rid of it because it was bent. The T1's specs fitted all my needs and i'm really not bothered about a standard/internal headtube. I much prefer the T1 to the flow.
The haro wheel is a replacement for the ****ty flow wheel which lost 6 spokes and got buckled as hell

Yeah, probably. The wheels on the Flow are supposed to be pretty decent, as well as the frame.

Maybe they just changed it up a bit for the '07s.

Well, I guess there is your answer. I would probably go with the Integral as well.

The aftermarket Flow frames are exactly the same besides the stickers, and paint colours. I havent had a problem with anything on my Flow, it's been so solid. I think you are just sketch/ hard on parts. The O7 frames have a lower standover hight, smaller dropouts, and shorter S3 style chainstays without the wishbone.
