About time this was shown on here.....
« on: September 12, 2007, 08:40 AM »
I have had this bike for years, bought it when I first started collecting and went to buy some tuffs off the owner, he said this was for sale and I didn't buy it straight away but all the way home in the car I could not stop thinking about it. I hadn't seen one before but it reminded me of a gen 1 Haro and was so nicely made I had to go back...

I've only seen one other and I bought that too (a purple one) but traded it for a Supergoose 3

Enjoy....

Sweet  :daumenhoch:

I've seen a couple for sale in the past (normally on ebay.com) and been tempted by them for the same reasons as you, but I resisted.

They are fantastic frames and were the choice of most pro flatlanders in the mid nineties.


Personally though i'd change every part on that bike!

Thats exactly how I got it....bit of an odd colour combo but I didn't want to change it - although the tuffs aren't on it at the moment as I lent them to someone.

It's not the colours, I just think that bike should never wear Tuffs!....and the Fishbone 'gyro' is an abomination!

It needs some nice 48's.

Beautiful frame though!  :smitten:

Those forks are genuine kore flatland forks, there are lots of copies out there that Cyclesport were selling pretty cheap.

I know tuffs aren't right for it, I think the guy I got it from had old school in mind when he built it but just didn't know it! As for the gyro, the fishbones are a really nicely made bit of kit!

Dont mention the gyro (UFO).People on here hate them and want them all rounded up and sent away to a dark place!
  I found this the hard way. I still use mine though and secretly like itt but dont tell the others ;)

A lot of people like them and that's fine! Just not my cup of tea but that's only my opinion and that's not worth much!  :daumenhoch:

that bike is begging for a super pro on the front with radial laced spokes. on the rear a static freecoaster on a super pro rim in traditional cross lace! and an odyssey gyro!

Funny you should say that C.B......  thats just how my Morales was back in T'90s.....  The freecoaster went on my Condor for a while for a bit of backwards action and I parted the rest out and flogged it in my shop.

Cool looking bike I always thought.  :)

I'm a huge Morales Fan.  I've had a BTS & want one of the twin TT ones.  Here's a little more history on them:
