290 is really something special for those small footed skaters who never thought a 100mm wheel would work for them. Smaller skaters know all too well how 'sluggish' longer sized frames feel...robbing them of footspeed, sucking power, and generally feeling like running in clown shoes. Sizes 33 to 38/39 can use the 290 with new found zip and confidence, secure in the feeling of finally skating a frame that was specially made for their needs. If you are on a 4x90 because all the 100mm configurations don't work for your small feet, then you are in for a real treat - you owe it to yourself to try this frame! |
