Next one from tbb-bike crew who got his new setup is Franta Marsalek. Even though it`s a bit taller geometry than he used to ride, Franta loves it from the very first moment. Shortly after he got familiar with it, we got in touch and headed to Bohunice plaza in order to shoot the video for his new bikecheck. This place is usually crowded with scooters and kids and that`s not realy ideal if you are about to film. However, we got lucky and besides couple of skaters, the skatepark was empty. THe sun was heating from early morning and by the noon we already had enough footage to get it done. Franta Marsalek and his WTP Buck setup is here!
Franta:
This bike is kind of a throwback to when I used to ride short and low frames. Over the last two years though, I rode bigger bikes with TT slightly under 21". This time I put my trust into WTP BUCK 20.5" TT frame and I gotta say it was I couldn`t choose better. Even though I`m quite a small person and recently having troubles with my shoulder, this frame gives me all I need and is super lightweight and playful. Another thing to mention are WTP 4PC BARS, which I always cut down 2 cm on each side. Also the SaltPlus Guard sprocket is an interesting piece! I don`t have to worry about hitting the ledge or rail and It opens up for new tricks too. I have a freecoaster WTP helix which works exactly as I need and it has a big gap. Next hot parts are Eclat Seeker pedals with replaceable body. And for that extra Swag I have WTP Smuggler seat equipped with a dealer pocket that is very usefull. Big thanks to TBB-BIKE for allowing to ride such an epic bike. Peace!
