hdmackay Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Personally, i'd chose the Ice over the Skull.I much prefer the geo and it's more suited for street so if that's what you ride the Ice will be great for you.It's a fair bit cheaper too. I have an Ice frame and it rides amaazing.also, it has maggie mounts and disc mounts incase you every decide to change your rear brake and the Ice now has stregthened dropouts.Saying all that, i've never actually ridden a Skull but I don't think i'd like that geo too much.:wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex-trials-boy Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 If your going for a whole new bike not just the frame then why dont you look at something like a GU or a Rockman dual disc their loverly streety bikes but out of the two that you have mentioned i would go for the ice as the last guy said they ride loverly and have a kickass Geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ullapool Trials Rider Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've ridden a skull. It feels amazing with 09 try-all rage bars and a try-all nuc stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yo dude I have got a skull and it is proper nice.The only thing that does me in about it is the lack of disc mount.There is nothing wrong with the geo for natural or street so thats just garbege.However if you have that much cash I would seriously consider this on ebay, it's not mine by the way:-Skull on ebay Click me to seeIt looks mint.And it's gonna be way cheaper that the tarty one.

bogdan_vtt Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 i`m fo` the ice, better looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengsmelly Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 my mate has the skull i have the ice. Its not that one is better than the other, its what you prefer. I mean the ice is longer and has a higher bb than the skull. And yhe skull is basically the same sort of GEO as what the t-pro was, although it seems to ride a lot nicer lol. But personally i like the ice, its a little more suited for street really, but the skull is so nice to ride for natural! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
