yeah,from what i read here riders brake the new modern flatland frames easy and fast! I would think if they make a new flat alum frame like the Show or Dragonfly it would maybe last just the same or longer.
i'm surprised no one's put that KGB frame failure pic's up.
I was just curious about Aluminum frames since my bike weighs so much -and I, myself, only weigh 115. I had a older, more quality aluminum Mongoose MTB that cracked on the head tube but I was informed that older aluminum bikes fatigue and newer stuff is a better alloy. Either way, if I get back into flatland hardcore enough I may think about getting a new bike and I'd really like to try a much lighter one, although chromoly may simply be just the best way to go with all the opinions on this forum. Even though I imagine I'd ride fairly light, I would still not want to fear braking my frame over the occasional wreck or heavy trick and I always want he option of trying new things.
