By the way - Gilles is first not PRO rider which get his signature frame by a bmx company ! Congratulations !
Gilles: "The idea behind the frame was to design a simple frame with maximal functionality. Also tried to be original with the design, alltough I know people have different opinions about originality, i think it looks quite different than other frames. I hope the "huge" space above the frame will allow me to learn some new and innovating tricks and switches, and try to push things forward. ''Thanks Zin for the great sponsor deal! I personnaly love the frame and it rides really smooth. Plenty of space everywhere, light and I love the geometry!"
