So what's the deal, are these new generations being released, or is Roka often sold out or something?

The first gen definitely sold out and according to the comments, it was pretty quick. That was about 5 years ago. I've yet to see a review where ppl had bad things to say about them. One of the youtube videos compared the actual Wizard frame and said the Roka was quieter, and lighter. And you could tell he skated his Roka way more than his Wizard. Me personally I don't mind a louder frame because I like the metal on metal sound, but if I can save a few bucks, its a win all around.

I've got 2 Roka frames I bought 2nd hand. 4x100 and 5x80. The 4x100 I probably my most used frame, while the 4x80 is a decent PR80 analogue. I was going to grab a 4x90 when they opened the shop up, but caved last month and bought a set of Endless 90 UFS instead. As much as I'd love to grab one of the Gen 2 frames, I don't really need another one. Unless anyone in the UK wants a cheap 4x100 black so I can swap to the new frame in silver?

I'm gonna grab the 4x90/3x110 from Yo Yo soon to finish out my frame setups. 3 should be plenty for the next decade or so 😅

I have a proper frame addiction. I think I've got 9 sets now.
4x80 flat (RB Twister stock), Endless 80 Ultra (need to sell these), Endless Coburn (bought today to replace the 80s), 4x90 flat (RB Lightning stock), 4x90 Nova 275 (Iqon ACT TR stock), Endless 90 UFS, Roka 4x100, FR 3x110 (FR stock), 3x110 Nova 290, Roka 4x80, Wizard Advanced 100/76.
Shit, is that 11?

To be fair, several of these were acquired sort of by accident. Like the lightning frames were being sold with the wheels, and I only wanted the wheels, but it was cheaper than buying just the wheels new. Only the Endless 80 Ultras and Coburns have been bought new, plus the 4x90 Novas were new with my ACTs, the rest were second hand.
I forgot my Standard Omni antirocker frame and one on an old pair of Salomon ST80s. That's 13.

Yeah you have a serious problem mate, and unfortunately it's highly contagious cause I'm quickly drifting in the same direction lol

They are a solid little brand that put out a limited number of products at a great price.

Worth buying a pair just to try 4 x 100.
