We got one of New Orleans’ finest to put Premium’s Lowpez LT frame to the test. After a few weeks of abusing the frame while riding parks and street, Beefy loved the bike and came back with this video along with his opinions of the pros and cons of the frame.

wicked short seattube is a little extreme and makes the bike look a little goofy when its all together. but it doesnt seem to bad

I’ve had this frame for about 2months+ and love it.
my bike weights about just under 20lbs w/ a gyro.
good for everything, street/park/dirt/etc!
premium is doing a Gen2 low-pez lite with alittle taller
seatube height.
i run a bit taller bars to compensate for the
shorter heatube height. never had any problems
with it. except the people who talk shit cause
there bike is a tank.
ps- garrett reyonlds tested this frame and didn’t break it.
and if you call it a “scooter” then I can ride parks that don’t allow bikes i suppose…

Scooter and unamerican? good thing garrett reynolds rides it cuz otherwise it would be worthless. FBM and S&M all the way

“except the people who talk shit cause
there bike is a tank.”
someone made a good point in another video of (i cant remember who) doing the Church Street gap. Jimmy Levan did that same gap, and cleared it mind you, with a bike probably twice the weight of the bikes now. so obviously the weight doesn’t matter…unless you’re a little tiny scene kid who probably weighs less than the bike you’re riding and go out every day to practice your whips, bars, and tucks…”just like garrett reynolds”

pretty gay with that low seattube, sorry but it’s just too low man
July 20th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
garret runs the death trap,so it is worthless,guy in phoenix had it for a week and it cracked. frames garbage and feels like poop,its way to touchy
July 20th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
i want that!
July 20th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
Iv had the frame for over a month and have had no problems at all with it. im more of a park rider, some street. I love it!!! it whips and spins so easy!!! All you pussys can go suck off robbie morales and run a super tall seat post tube frame. Frame rocks!!
July 20th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Dunno man looks real goofy. Dont like how his seat is 4 inches below his wheel. Too low for me.
July 21st, 2009 at 12:00 pm
i think the low toptube trend is going to far with the killorado and this one but something like the subrosa alameda isnt so bad
sick riding anyway
July 21st, 2009 at 2:59 pm
I like how that frame looks… but I hate those integrated seat post clamps… they look blah. just get a wedge post
July 21st, 2009 at 3:54 pm

July 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 am
