Huh, first time I've heard that, although it makes sense.

San Cristobal was at various times used for their top-tier frames and their low end frames (like mine, zero chrome). Mine said "Mod San Cristobal" so I'm pretty sure that was the name of the model, and not just a commemoration, although it did commemorate the '77 Worlds in Venezuela, and a lot of the nicer, earlier ones said "77 San Cristobal". I also remember being the only one in the store who knew what MOCKBA meant and how it was pronounced.
