Use your current bike. As stuff breaks, replace parts with flatland oriented parts. My bike is in no means a "flatland bike" but I use it to do flatland type tricks.
If you buy a flatland bike, you wont become any better at riding flatland than you already are on your current bike.

Topsey isn't the only one here that rides flat guys.
I suggest running gyro, front brakes, and 4 pegs on your current set up first. Learn 80's brake tricks. Flatland is the hardest thing to learn but so worth it.

There's not a lot of flatland completes out there. Eastern makes the Enzo which is a decent way to get in to it on a budget. Otherwise you are likely to have to build something yourself.
A really sweet basis for a flatland setup would be an S&M Intrikat frame, Intrikat Bar, Flatland Redneck Stem, and Fastpitch forks. You'll also want to get really narrow tires, a tall post and a nice padded probably kevlar seat.
Flatland bikes take a lot of abuse so they need to be strong. Although they don't usually fly though the air, flatlanders fall 20 to 1 compared to park and street riders and stuff can break pretty fast.
Here's a link to Chad Johnson's latest bike check: He's been a top flatland guy for a long time. Only catch is he rides brakeless and pegless!

if you are looking for a complete KHE Bikes makes two flatland completes.Saint martin also has completes. Also look into odyssey flatware thats all their flatland parts. S&m also makes a flatland frame also deco has terry adams sig frame. A good website would be flatandfuel.com
