Arco 1084
Replaced the frames equipped with the Apollo boots from K2 to Arco.
It totally changed the skating experience with these boots. K2 3100 is known for reasonably good frames with budget. It was OK with me but they were not my favorite at all as the maneuverability was not great to me.
Since Apollo boots are 165 mount, I chose Arco 1084 (100x3 + 84x1) frames. I knew I was going to love them. I used to have Arco 5x84 straight frames and fell in love with them (the length was too long so I decided to let them go).
My second Arco frames did not turn me down at all. They are just great. Glide is easy, small turns are easy to manipulate and the ride is so smooth. I love Arco frames. I think they went out of business, too bad.
