The first signature frame news of 2018, and a well deserved signature frame for Kevin Nikulski. Heres what the guys over at Autum had to say about it:

“PIVN stands for “Paradise Is Very Nice” – that´s the ting our teamrider Kevin Nikulski likes and the reason why he named his first signature frame after it! The frame is designed on his daily needs – having a hardcore Flat session but also being ready all time of the day to join the Berlin Street sessions of his friends he hangs out with. If you are into Flat/Street Whatevery this is definitly your weapon of choice…
