the ramen frame from FEC droppouts issue(10mm) you can get slotted 14mm axles..the ones that are flat on two sides...those fit just fine from what I've heard.
@@flatlandjourney yeah, but who has the money to grab a frame every year :) I've been riding an Autum katze v2 for years now :)...still holding up :) wouldn't mind grabbing a acenD or utopia frame though. No need to respond, just happy you got out another video.
Getting something secondhand that someone has already upgraded is a great option! Just make sure the frame has no cracks in it and that the parts are in good working order.
One thing to consider is what fork to pear with the La Bastille as it has a 75.7 Head Tube Angle so a zero offset fork will very twitch. 2nd thing is that most frames does not come with rear brake mounts if you want to use a rear brake.
Ya thats a good point about the La Bastille. I think a minimal offset fork (10-15mm) would go well with it. And ya, thats right about needing a frame with brakemounts.
@flatlandjourney I'm 5"11-6' 170lbs I've been trying to learn old school flatland tricks on an old 85 predator streetwise with not much more success than an endo I know its probably on the small side but for someone that maybe needs " twitchy or ultra responsive" would the colony apprentice be a good choice?
@@darrellhatfield5944 yeah the colony apprentice would be fine for you. As you mentioned, it might be a little bit small, but if you want something really responsive and maneuverable then that would work great. The Haro La Bastille Might be a more suitable bike for your height. Especially if you plan to do any thing other than Flatland. Currently on sourcebmx.com it is on sale for $599 and I think you can get an extra 10% off by subscribing to the email list. The only thing about that bike is you would also need to order some pegs and if you want breaks, you would need to buy all of the necessary parts for Them as well. The quality of the Haro is much higher than that of the colony apprentice, so it will probably last you a lot longer. And they are about the same price.
Look when it comes down to bikes , it’s the one you like & the one that fits your needs nobody else’s opinion of that particular bike .

I'll need to look into that. Thanks for letting me know about that option.

I really despise pre-orders, but I'm most likely just gonna end up getting the Reklamation DNE frame.
There’s one on Marketplace with upgraded aftermarket parts 🤙
