Jimmy_E Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hello all , I would like to change my bike soon but i hesitate between to stock frame : The czar 07 and the Gu 07 . I have a Coustellier by Koxx , the geo is 1095mm /10 mm / 385 mm . Does someone have the new czar who can tell me how is it ? Is the Gu good for tap ? The Gu’s geo isn’t to extrem ? Thanks for yours answers . JimmyPs: Sorry for my english , i'm french. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have a stock gu and i can tell you that there really isnt anything it does badly. I dont think i will ever be buying another frame because i literally couldnt expect more from a frame than what i get from my gu, if for whatever reason i ever did need a new frame id be going after another GU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(usual is 380, gu is 372) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 i have the hifi 130x15 atm, but i may change it for the higher one, the one atm will probs me too low.i would love to tell you how it rides, but im not going to ride in the rain yet again, i really cbf'd. in the living room though, it feels nice, but could sit nicer on the back wheel, but this is probably due to the stem...

trialrock Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Im in the same situation like you... but im thinking about on a 20'' czar or gu... I'd rather the czar cause their geometry, but i think the czar is too heavy, it weight around 2170 gr. and the gu 1880gr... i sow on www.hbtrials.com soo... im confused...what do you think?
