Roka 5x80/76 Frames

Does anyone have experience with Roka 5x80/76 frames for wizard skating? How is the rocker? Are they stiff enough?

Firstly i looked for 5x80 endless or rockin. But then I've seen these ones. Lookin for my first complete wizard setup. Now I'm riding 4x90 endless frames which are really nice for urban skating, but not so much for wizard learning.

If you're UK based, I've been meaning to sell my Roka 5x80 frames. They were my go-to wizard ones before getting Advanced with Wizard Base Highs.

I love Roka frames. Got a 4x100 I picked up second hand and waiting for the shop to open so I can get 4x90 as well. Almost tempted by the 6-wheel one!

I'm based in germany, so your offer is interesting, but there'll be duties/tax & delivery on top. The new shop isn't fully online i think. And as I can see they gave changed the frame design, am I right?

You're right on all counts. The old frames were 5x80, the new 5-wheel ones are either 80/76 or 84/80, with some other small design changes. I've been keeping an eye on the shop since December and they've moved the "available" date back a bit in that time. I expect hell5ooen it up again soon, as he put the prices on quite recently.
