Seeing as we are lucky enough to be able to turn what we love into a job, we want to be able to share this with you. This is why we work hard to offer the best products that we possibly can, designing, constructing and testing them ourselves. Our passion means that taking time out for a chat with someone eager enough to pedal up to Riolo Terme brings us just as much joy as selling him or her a new fork would (well, almost!), especially because if they manage to get all the way here, it probably means that our brand is already somewhere on their bike! PHILOSOPHY Philosophy What a big word! Basically we should fill this section with long winded explanations of why it is we do what we do. Well, in case you haven’t already figured it out for yourself, we make bikes BECAUSE WE LIKE THEM! And when things are done with passion and enthusiasm, they are usually done better! So, seeing as our explanation was so quick, we’ll fill some more space with some bragging instead, seeing as we produce the lighted MTB on the market right here in Italy and because we often have the sort of great idea that then gives rise to the ideas of many a brand. We dedicate our time and energy, on a daily basis, to provide you with components and bikes designed to distinguish you from the crowd. We are here to help you in each and every situation you may encounter and to help you to improve your performance, whether you compete or you ride just for fun. We aim to make you feel, when you push on your pedals, that only you and FRM exist. FRM’s HISTORY We often like to reminisce, usually with a good glass of wine, on the history of our brand. People too often live life so fast that they forget where they came from. Here we share some of our history, from 1990 until today, with you. This photo shows what FRM has been in the past and what it is today. Just imagine what it is capable of being in the future MADE IN ITALY “We are Italian, we produce in Italy”. Nice sounding words but a difficult statement to live up to. We have had the great luck of finding, here in Italy, individuals so talented in their work that we have no need to produce our products elsewhere. Between you and us, this makes us not only happy, but also very, very proud. There is a slight exception, having an English girl in the office but, to be honest, she’s pretty much as Italian as therest of us now! [4](4 catalogo 2013 | www.frmbike.biz)[ ca
