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

well im not sure i know that like 2 or 3 months ago our dollar was the same but i dont know what it is at the moment

The Canadian dollar should be stronger than ours.

iThoy 05-20-08 06:58 PM

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

okay thank you, im not sure if my local bike store carries KHE but ill look around for them.

minichamp31 05-21-08 08:46 PM

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

iThoy 05-24-08 11:31 AM

well ive phoned around and the only way i could get a khe bike in canada is special order and the guy who i talked to said it would be around 2000$ so i said screw that. is theyre any other good flatland brands i should look at

Street rider 05-24-08 06:54 PM

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.

iThoy 05-25-08 06:55 PM

uhm ya i just found out my dad just ordered me an equilibrium so im pretty happy ahha thanks anyways tho

sweatpants 05-26-08 07:41 AM

minichamp31 05-26-08 09:37 AM

Equilibrium?

iThoy 05-26-08 02:34 PM

minichamp31 05-26-08 03:19 PM
