Trial-uk Gu Le 26"

Yeh, I was saying to Mike last night when I was building it, very similar to the KOT, and the headtube is abit to long(N), but I guess they had to have a long one to have the design (The top/ down tube joing)

Frame is really light, which is why I went for it, as the TP is a Machine and about 400g heavier,

The ride is nice on the first go, but I will change a few things to change the ride position, along with some other parts to save even more weight!

DOB Mag Rims = Jam:) under 1000g for a pair, nice large rear braking surface and very deep rim design (Mike Singleton is currently testing one out, and from our ride it does look pretty good)

I will try to get a few of these built up for pictures this coming week(Y)

dont like it - good idea - get rid of all the naff cnc bits but it looks gash - the cruvy downtube with curvy top tube looks silly - and end of the day its a KOT without the good dropouts ?

I wouldnt be surprised if the weight was in the right ballpark at 1700 grams.

Haha fair enough. Any idea on the weight without it? About 170g less?

141 grams to be exact (of course if tarty's info is 100% sure which I think it is)

And calculating it still is heavier.......that's odd....unless it's the cnc yokes that make it heavier because the mod ones are a little bigger than the stock ones....dunno

The GU is nice at least deng tried to do something else but large CNCed plates welded together and saying it's a trials bike.....

This can actually be ridden in comps and stuff for the people who like the lightness of a trials bike and are fanatics about it.

+1 for liking it :)
