eskimo Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I don't know which would be stronger. The Gu Le is heavier and the Control lighter. But the Control does have double butted front end tubes. Both have the cnc yoke. Yet the Control has less stand over which generally makes for a stronger frame.I'd definitely have the Control. It's a nicer geo imo. 135mm dropouts. Built in tensioners. Drilled gussets and yoke, which do reduce the weight safely i'd say.But then there is the obvious price difference.

Gogz- Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I love my gu le . It feels so nice on the back wheel and the geo and the high bb are just right . the echo control has the horizontal dropouts which will be really good if you want single speed .

Sam Jones Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 ive rode the GU le but i didnt really like it that much. (i suppose compared to riding on my mates Boxx before) But anyway, I myself will be buying the new control when i have repaid all my outstading debts with the rents.but the geo of the control sounds good and is adsactly what im looking for. Really its just a matter of preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsGilly Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Gu Le Stock or Mod? Got an Le Mod coming and i really cannot wait.In my opinion they are the best Mod frame going, had a good few hours riding on my friend one , geo is really good as a smaller rider (only 5 6") , if you taller they are abit of a bugger to pedal hop!In terms of the 26" Le, have had a few hops around on one of these aswell and the geo was once again outstanding. Was heavy and strong felt you could give it a good throwing around, without worrying about breakage.Overall I would advise that you simply have a go on a frame before you buy one! I know its hard but i would strongly advise it. Without this you will never know if it is right for you! Hope this helps Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
