1. A frame lock for a two-wheeler, said frame lock comprising:
a lock body that comprises a latch, and
a rotary hoop arrangement that comprises a rotary hoop and a strip,
wherein the rotary hoop extends along a circular path, is at least partly received in a rotary hoop receiver of the lock body, and is adjustable relative to the lock body along the circular path between an open position, in which the rotary hoop releases a wheel of the two-wheeler for a rotation, and a closed position in which the rotary hoop blocks the wheel against rotation,
wherein the rotary hoop has a blocking structure comprising an abutment section,
wherein the latch is adjustable between an unlocked position and a locked position,
wherein, when the rotary hoop is in its closed position and the latch is in its locked position, the latch engages behind the abutment section and thereby blocks the rotary hoop against an adjustment into the open position,
wherein the strip is arranged at the rotary hoop such that, on an adjustment of the rotary hoop, the strip moves together with the rotary hoop and outer sides of the strip slide along inner side walls of the rotary hoop receiver,
wherein the strip extends along the circular path, and is configured such that the strip covers the rotary hoop along at least a part of its longitudinal extent and at least a part of its periphery, and
wherein the strip extends over more than 180° in a peripheral direction around the rotary hoop.
