If your worried about breaking a frame....just buy a Strowler. Check the market place...I know I saw one there for sale.  ;D

no, i just read it on their news post ting when they came out with the simple 2 or 3...



and i emailed FF and this is what they had to say about the paris 2
"The Paris2 is an incredible value. The only negative on that frame for a beginner is no rear brake mounts. Personally I think rear brakes are a good idea for a beginner because there are so many tricks to learn with them. But many beginners no are starting out without rear brake and if that is your intention you cant go wrong with the Paris2. Since you have been riding street and park for a while you probably have a pretty good idea of what you want to do anyway."


he said nothing about it breaking or holding up to a beginner... i am so confusedd! haha

FF has Strowlers on sale for $149. I've yet to hear of anyone breaking those. The Strowler weighs about 2 pounds more. It's worth the extra weight I'd imagine. Two pounds is hardly noticeable for a frame that likely won't snap on you.

dont get put off by suelo as my frame is the only one on here to break and from the simplist bail too. There was a problem with the metal and it was just to weak in that area and with the weild in that area too made it super weak.

But over than that bend and brake its a very good frame. Lots of khe's have broke but Ive only seen mine on here break
