Haro was the shit back in the day for me.
Despite what you get, look for something with a brake gyro.

I've already built 5 lowrider bikes as a kid and they were all show winners. I got pics of a couple of them still I think.

You want a 20". I don't know anyone doing flatland on a 24". The bike world is totally different now. This is what you'd be looking for...

Yeah 24's are for almost only mountain bikes. Sport 20's.
