Re: 1996 Morales Flatland
this is actually one of the first flatland specific frames,designed by Bob morales,with input fromjesse puente,edgar and ivan placencia,and the late richard zabzdyr,of graveyard bikes and all members of the flatland fugitives and flatland innovators in their own right.the morales frame had the best rear tringle I've ever ridden,and actually still do,were the second frame to sport 990s on the seatstays(after the '88 rl-20 II),and were really popular withn hardcore flatlanders in 1993-1998,this frame was introduced first with smaller toptubes,and smaller dropouts,this one featured here is the 96 version endorsed by chase gouin in dorkin in york 7(balancing act),and will no break,even if it's a little heavy for most lightweight freaks nowadays.check out www.myspace/polanco4130 for a littl clip of me riding a morales nowadays,its under my videos,so enjoy!
