indianatrials Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 So, i found a really good deal on a brand new gu le frame, the total cost would be the same as the total cost for a marino frame. Wondering what people thought of both of these. Also, the gu has almost the same geo as what i was gonna get on my marino.Marino Pros:steel-stifferany geoany colorMarino Cons:steel-heavierlonger shipping timeGU Pros:ProvenAluminum-lighterGU cons:Aluminum-more flexyJust add whatever to any of these 4 pros/cons.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Well if you was gonna get the same geo anyway might aswell get the GU, your not exactly gonna snap it are you, hardly a top rider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 With the steel marino it would be heavier BUT the ride will be more forgiving because of flex in the material, hence why jump bikes are steel. The alloy gu le will be really stiff and good to put the power down but give a harsher ride to it personally i think the gu might be better over all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
