Colony Apprentice 20" BMX Flatland Bike (18.9" Toptube) (Matte Black)
I'm going to be the first to review this bike,

First I want to mention that I purchased a "Scratch and Dent" bike, and it was in excellent condition. The only scratches were on the seat post from where it had been assembled at some point, probably on display. Black sharpie covered those. I would not hesitate to buy another SND from Dan's Comp. What a deal.

I've been trying to do flatland on a park bike and it's just hard. The geometry is a little long and the bike is a tank, no free coaster, etc so I've been looking for a real flatland bike.

When I ordered this bike I had some doubts... there aren't many reviews and the reviews on youtube don't seem to be sort of paid reviews. I ordered it, and then cancelled my order out of uncertainty. The short top tube and chain stay length had me worried that this was a kids bike and the lack of reviews from real riders made me think it was junk. I checked some of the flatland forums and was surprised to find a few praises from owners who were happy with the bike, some photos of flatlanders with their apprentice, and learned more about new school flatland geometry (this frame size is actually normal). Not wanting to miss out on the discounted bike I re-ordered it and crossed my fingers. I searched all weekend still hoping I hadn't just purchased a department store quality bike...

All I can say is WOW. For the price, this bike is awesome! Everything is chromoly except possibly the fork down tubes and really thats ok with me. The bike is reasonably light, and everything appears to be very good quality. Brakes are good, pads are the clear grippy brake pads, cranks appear to be chromoly, tires are nice, frame looks beautiful, geometry is excellent for flatland. Yeah single wall rims but thats all we rode in the 80s and I'm not doing Miami Hoppers on this bike... I'm not interested in old static pogo tricks... but more modern flatland which is why I wanted this bike and not an old Haro. If I get good enough to destroy the rims I'll call it progress. The brake levers are just ok but still acceptable. I hope to eventually not need them at all.

So anyway, the bike is awesome. I'm super happy with it. Dan's Comp had it packed up like a brand new bike, you almost would never know it had been assembled at some point... it looks like a brand new bike.

It's probably the best deal around for a complete (real) flatland bike.
