How long have you been riding the frame that you are currently on?

Inspired by the Speedcraft’s legendary success on cycling’s biggest stages, S2 is made for 100% speed. 100%’s innovative technologies and signature lens have been tuned for riding at any level, and S2’s laser-etched edging provides the look of a full frame in a rimless cylindrical shield, for total visibility and comfort.

Tore got the very first Speedco XXXL and is liking it very much. BMX Athletes have been looking for longer frames so an XXXL isn't even weird.

Anyway, no complaints from Navrestad's side, he's got one.
