Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases
This frame requires 20-inch wheels, 14mm rear hub, mid bottom bracket, integrated headset, and 1-inch seat post. The three top tube options accommodate riders from approximately 5'4″ to 6'+ depending on riding style: 20.75″ for shorter riders or those preferring tighter setups, 21″ for average height, and 21.25″ for taller riders or those wanting more cockpit space. Best suited for street, park, and trail riding where durability and responsive geometry matter. The adjustable rear end allows customization of chain stay length for dialing in handling characteristics. If you plan to run a rear brake, you'll need to purchase threaded 990 brake bosses separately. No gyro tabs, so this frame is designed for brakeless or direct cable routing only.
