    Definately the shittest frame that fit has released so far, should have stuck with original s3 geo and looks.

  • http://Website Mister Mustachio

    I just dont know why you would go with such a short back end. Im sure Aitken runs a longer back end then that. Thats ridiculous

  • http://Website eh

  • http://Website jesus christ

    Is 13.40 the maximum length you can run or slammed?

    but should have kept it like the S2

  • http://Website pumped to be stoked

    uh… you’ve never ridden this bike, nore have your friends & it looks clean as hell. What is the defining reason that you think its soo shitty? Thats like me saying “I think your definately the stupidest person ever” when I’ve never met you.

  • http://Website COOL!

    Frame looks sick but fits gonna end up jacking the price cuz they always lead the shit on that.

  • http://Website Dron

    well they said that they made the dropouts longer. So even though its a shorter rear end slammed. you can still run it the same lenght as s3.

  • http://Website logic

    id rather have my frame made by some poor Taiwanese bloke doing the best possible job he can to keep a job that he need to keep his family alive than some drunk americans building frames probably while blazed in a backyard workshop.

  • http://www.www.com yep

    man, this is so true… like those old school ads with the FBM guys welding while they are drunk. how the hell was that supposed to sell frames.

  • http://Website utah kid

    why did they downgrade to a taiwanise frame? boo fit

  • http://Website Jud Rideout

    dude i love how all you little boys can talk so much shit on a frame you hgave never ridden, Of there is so much shit on and about thios bike that you dont like then why the hell are you even reading more or commenting these post – just got buy a fuckin other jap POS if your all stoked on long chainstays and better overall appearance – ive ridden my 3.5 for years and by faqr its the most comfortable and manueverable frame ive ever owned out of about 9 different from diff companies. Its not the frame that makes it shit – its the riders skills that make it shit

    where does it say its not u.s built? lower is win. not really any need to go that short on the rear end but like it says, you can probably run it at 11.6 which is about where you want it with a BB that low, for park, maybe a lil longer for trails.

  • http://Website Dimitri

    lower BB i meant, and run the rear end at 13.6… anyways, best fit theyve built in ages.
