KGB BIKES

I own a KGB frame and I have to honestly say that the thing is custom made for Flatland... No exceptions. I rode a Hoffman EP for a long time and although I loved the frame, it was definitely a freakin tank! So when I ordered the KGB frame, I was excited to see and "feel" the transition. It took me about a year to build just the way I wanted and get enough funds for the job. Thank you credit cards... Now I am forever owned but that's another story. Anyway, for all of you out there, I recommend slowly saving your funds and slowing build up your custom ride. KGB has allot of nice parts aside from their frames but I personally like their frames the best. They have recently came out with a Palmero frame which is definitely dope in my book.

It has an old school feel with the twin top tube reminiscent of the infamous Haro Master.

However looking at the frame, you can tell that allot of thought and consideration went into building a frame that will enable a rider to move around the frame in whatever fashion they can imagine. For example, the down and top tube bends allow for a single or some multiple "Fire Hydrants". Also, a quick "Funky Chicken" will be easier to learn the way the tubes are engineered. KGB is owned by riders Martti Kuoppa and Viki Gomez. They are both hardcore Flatlanders with intense skills.

Here is a video of them blending their moves with the Hip-Hop culture. I really like this clip...

Also, a true OG of Flatland, Pete Brandt has also cut up some moves on these frames. I mean, what other proof do you you want?

So if your shopping around for a frame, peep some KGB products. I am definitely happy with my frame. Peace...
