The Haro Lineage bikes are awesome!!! I built a 2021 Master and I’m going to buy the 2023 for $1000! That’s a great deal when you consider the rims bought separately are $600!!! The frame and fork is $600, so you’re basically getting the rest of the bike free!!!
I just started riding Flatland 7 months ago & my 1st bike was The LaBastille. I knew nothing about bikes when I bought it, only got it because of the color. Lol!🤦🏾 It turned out to still be a great bike... BUT!!!! I had to basically hybrid build it by adding a 1. Gyro 2. Front Break 3. New Fork (With Break Mounts) 4. Seat Post - The seat that came with it was a half inch above the tire. 👎🏾 5. Pegs - The ones that came with it are strictly for street rail grinding & heavy AF!!!! 6. New Tires. - The tires that came with it were so fat they wouldn'tfit through the new fork with the front break. So I dropped down to (2.5) Even those are a little big, but definitely work (100psi) If I knew then, what I know now, I would have just bought the Groundmaster, which I still ended up buying anyway, 2 months after The LaBastille. They're brother & sister. Lol! Dope Whips! L.A. (aka) Nite Rider STL 4130 Flatland Crew 🚴🏾
Ya, that makes sense with the La Bastille. If I were to get it, I would probably just use it as a completely brakeless bike, and put some grip tape on the pegs, then call it a day haha. Once brakes come into play, it opens up a whole chain reaction of upgrades that need to be done haha. I've experienced that first hand as well.
Cassettes can be great depending on what you want to use it for. For flatland BMX, there are a lot of tricks where it is helpful to have a freecoaster hub, which allows the back wheel to roll backwards, without making the cranks turn.
So you’re talking about flatland and pointing out a crap bike ! Flatland back in the day was all about split top tube pegs and standing platforms built into bikes .. This bike has none of that
Thanks for checking out this video and offering your perspective. Those classic freestyle bikes from back in the day were really cool, so I totally get where you are coming from. In this video, I was focusing more on some current affordable options that could work to help people get into the sport or back into the sport at a reasonable price. Are you interested in getting a bike with a split top tube? I'd love to hear more of what you are into.
Dude I rode in the 80s and I ride now. Sure the 80s bikes had more style but modern bikes are way better to ride. We realized platforms and extra tubes are just dead weight.

That’s a great deal. I think they are great bikes too.
Always love when you post! I’m just starting to get into flatland and really appreciate the info you share. Stoked to see your progress…Stay Rad!!!
Thanks for the encouragement, I appreciate it! Would love to see what you are working on!

another good thing is only $49 shipping to us for flatland fuel. And only Iowa is subject to sales tax.
@@uptowndann109 ya that’s really awesome deal.
What's wrong with cassette hubs?
