Tore got the very first Speedco XXXL and is liking it very much. BMX Athletes have been looking for longer frames so an XXXL isn't even weird. But when there's a need for more room up front, it's easier said than done when it comes down to carbon frames. These molds don't come cheap and how big is the market for them? Anyway, no complaints from Navrestad's side, he's got one.
