The Gu Brothers

We got some of the new GU frames in and thought it would be rather cool to build them up into a pair of 'little and large' twins... here's the result!

Wow! Haha, bit of a surprise to see them in baby blue! I thought they'd be in yellow.

Anyway, looks nice, and it's interesting to see Deng step out of the ol' silver and black frames.

I have wondered this though... reading that this new LE is made of 6061 alu, whereas the black 08 ones were made of Ultra 6 (6066 alu); being a slight downgrade in material, does the same hold true for the 2009 Python and Team? Similarly, are the Lynx and new Lite made of 6061 too? Sure, the prices are lower, but I do miss seeing bunches of sturdy and beefy U6 frames.

The white fits this bike very excellent though!!

Yeah but its nothink new!

Theres a whold bunch or colours they can use after all they do sell more than just white.

Not having a go at all as it dose look really nice, however for someone to want to build one up

If you did a other colour (NOT BLACK) you could poss show them more as if you wanted to look at what

blue and white would look like weve all ready seen that one both the inspired and the rockman.

Im not going on looks Im just saying for someone who would like to build this frame all they have to go by is a this really,

im not having a dig at all by this but before you know it,

atmoz

rockman

inspired

etc all have white builds

will go outa fashion faster than it came in if you dont stop putting it on every bike :P

I think they both look lush although I agree that the colour of white is being over done a bit now. I don't know why but I think thet would look rather cool will all black components except red rims (Y) I can't wait to see the day if ever I could afford a custom bike from you guys!

Yeah, I had the idea a long time ago to have an all white 24" , but since I couldn't go out and just get one a lot of people have them now.
