Revolver Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 GUs are pretty heavy. Maybe go for a more mid-weight frame. The new zoo!s look promising, dunno about the weight though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam 94 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Also depends on the budget you got if you want a mid price mid weight frame go for the new echo lite or zoo lynx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 20″ — 'Mod Bikes'The first purpose made and commercially available trials bikes were manufactured by Montesa a mototrials company and were based on the modified bmx bikes that riders had been using. As a result of being based on BMX bikes, the rear dropout spacing is 116mm. These 20″ wheeled trials bikes have become known colloquially as Mod bikes.20" bikes started off as BMX's which were then modified, hence Mod.26″ — 'Stock Bikes'Early mountain bikes were well suited to the trials riding being done and so a separate class was introduced for them. 26″ used to refer to mountain bike kept in original condition. 26″ classed bikes were required to have at least six working gear ratios and a seat. Now, however, this designation is often used to describe any trials bike with 26″ wheels. Stock bikes have a dropout spacing of 135mm.26" was known as stock as it is the standard mountain bike wheel size.Bearing in mind trials was started in Spain, I would have thought this was common knowledge.
