MacNeil just posted on their site that after three years of working with Travis Collier to make flatland components and frames, they have stopped all production on the products and are just going to focus on the rest of their line. Travis will still be on the team and will still work with MacNeil on other projects.

Here’s the news straight from macneilbmx.com…
“It’s been 3 great years since we first brought Travis Collier onto the MacNeil team and started to make flatland products. The intent from the beginning was to have fun and collaborate with Travis on a creative level and maybe even help bridge a bit of the gap between flatland and the rest of BMX world.

Even thought Travis is still riding for MacNeil and very much a part of the team, we will not be continuing to make flatland products in 2010. We had a blast creating a unique line of parts with Travis, but we feel at this time it’s best to let the flatland world move in the direction it wants to go, while we move in ours.

Our relationship with Travis will otherwise remain the same, he’s still on our team and will be riding one-offs of his frame design. We have some other projects lined up with Travis for this year and are as stoked as ever to continue working with him!
A little note for Collier fans. There are still some of his frames available, but production has ended, so if you want to pick it up, get one now before they are all gone…”
