A FEW WORDS FROM KRISS ABOUT HIS SETUP:

" I’ve had the white Freedom frame for a while now so decided it was time to change it up completely. For my new setup I went for the flat trans red frame as it looks insanely nice! Then combined that with oversized flat raw Freedom bars, flat raw forks and flat raw raw cranks and tied it all together with a brown flight seat and black for the rest of the parts.

I’m so stoked on how this bike looks and feels! I’ve been riding my Freedom frame for a good few months now and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It just feel right. The name, the feel everything about it gets me stoked to get out and ride each day!

And I’m buzzing to still have the passenger name going with my grips. The Passenger grips are thin, really comfy, soft and last for a good while. As a kid growing up riding it was always hard finding the right grips. They would either be to hard and not wear in or to soft and not last long enough. I feel like we have nailed it with these grips. They are perfect! "
