"""ENG
A dream called FRM began in 1991...Franco leaves a safe job to convey his passion to his friends through his creations, which enabled him to glide over the wooden pathways, dream, relax and experience freedom at the fullest.
Franco Ricci Mingani dedicated the past 30 years to MTB, contributing so much to its development because the "feel light" was always belief and his motto. After only a few years, everyone associated FRM with lightness and performance. Time went by and the brand became famous way beyond the small town of Riolo Terme, beginning with only a tiny warehouse in which only Franco believed in...
As with any successful project, there is always a great mind behind it, a mind who never ceases to take chances and always pushes the limits, becoming a source of inspiration for many. The disease took away his body, but his genius and determination will continue to live on inside every FRM, as per his wishes.
Franco shared his beliefs to a group of young people led by Mirko who now has the honor and pride of carrying on his philosophy: quality and extreme FRM technology...always!
Goodbye Franco, a father to so many bikers."""
