Here's a flatland bike I made mostly from scratch and scraps.
Made a custom frame (hard to explain, but it started life as a Kent. The curved down tube is from a tag along bike. The top tube is some raw steel I had. The seat stays are from a huffy mountain bike. The chain stays and bottom bracket and seat post tube are from Kent. The frame weighed in at under 4.5 lb.
I did custom forks, custom bars etc
Yes, it's threaded. I wanted to keep it old-school ish. V brakes in the front. American bottom bracket converted to square taper. I don't know how much it weighs yet, but she's light. I'm assuming she's under 28 lb or so.
It was spray painted and then polished with a rag and some turtle Wax. Turned out good!
I did this build for my YouTube channel, I haven't ridden flatland really in about 15 years. So here's to a new start!
If you are curious about this build, feel free to watch it on my YouTube channel. I'm not very funny and the production quality is equal to that of a Yugo. But I have fun lol

Hell yeah! That’s awesome!
Enjoy getting back into it. Excited to check out the video.
Super clean 👌
This thing is just an absolutely weird as fuck build and I love everything about it. Well done!!
Those v brakes up front must be epic for nose tricks. Lock up a lot better than u brakes. Love this.
Saw the video and randomly found this post, looks great!
