Back in 95, i had just started riding, i had a Slammer, go figure, big'ass plastic seat, bars that came to my chin, 990's in the rear and those side pull brakes up front. Cheepy aluminum levers. 1pc crank with a 39t sprocket... good times, good times...

My bike, circa 1995 (if I can remember correctly!!):

Morales flatland frame
S&M Stupid Fork
S&M Redneck
Powerlite 4pc Freestyle Bars
Dia Compe Tech 77 levers
ATI Pistol Grips
Gyro
Ukai Chrome 48H rims
Suzue Sealed Hubs (didn't have a Nankai till 1996'ish?)
Dia Compe 990s
1 pc cranks
GT sprocket
GT alloy platform pedals
Primo V-Monster tires
GT padded freestyle seat
Primo Rod
Some no-name oversized clamp & shim (the Morales had a FAT seat tube)
... and a nice set of STEEL Standard Hand Grenades!

I loved that bike... the Chrome Morales looked so pimp! Probably my biggest issues with it were the Tioga Beartrap headset always coming loose, and the bearings in the unsealed Tioga bb always blowing up. I remember the rake on the Stupid Fork being WAAAAY out there as well ( Maximum offset? =)

I remeber those 1" headsets. I think I used to carry around a big adjustable wrench to tighten it.I remember constantly taking breaks to tighten my headset.
