Phatmike Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 ...Either way, will be getting better, & close-up pics early next week, so keep your eyes peeled on the site. Had a look at the frames today, and they don't look that bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Seriously low top tube styling, awful welding though. fair play to the welders as the GU TP26 Typhoon must be a seriously difficult frame to weld cleanly given the amount of limited space to work between the top and down tube. no easy task. im sure the 2nd or 3rd batch of GU frames will have more tidy welds. love it or hate it, this will be the frame to gasp at in 2008....cant see deng releasing an 08 Adamant.

AdamR28 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Damn, they look so poorly made. If I was paying £300 for a frame the least i'd expect would be straight welds, I hate to think what the entire downtube brace looks like close up on the TP, looks bad enough from the small preview.I'm not sure where Trials-UK's frames have come from, but ours are completely different The TP and ST frames have an anodised finish (better than painted) and the welds are much better, pretty good I'd say considering their length.Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike W Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I was planning on buying the disc one but they really arent as nice as the cad pictures Plus its going to be a mess about for me to get a mount because i bought a 203 mm bb7 and its a +40mm disc mount swayed me slightly more towards the ozonys to be honest.

JT! Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 How come the ST is 1010mm, isn't that short compared to the rest of the gu's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 How come the ST is 1010mm, isn't that short compared to the rest of the gu's?If it is 1010mm wheelbase (which it may not be - the quoted geo is rarely spot on) then it's 10mm or so shorter in the wheelbase than some GUs have been... which is a pretty small amount.

J Trials 31 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I wanna see some built up pictures of them. Especially the mod frames. If I was to get one it would probably be the ST, but I just got a new A3 so that's not happening any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike W Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 How do you get around this plus 40mm disc mount ?i have a 203 rear bb7 so do i need to buy a 160mm adaptor instead of 203 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
