Borat Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Someone want's to swap my python for a gu, but the gu is short. Is it worth it? I'm used to long frames and love them, any opinions wanted. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Don't do it short gu's are like 1000 mm I think, zoos are 1035+mm. If you like long frames stick with the zoo 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted January 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah, my zoo! measures to 1055. :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 You just answered your own question you 'tard, you like long frames so therefore have the python.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Gu's do ride great though. Had a go on my mates short one and i reckon it would ride nicer than my long with a good build. Although saying that. If you like long frames then the Zoo is better for you. Zoo's are monsters for tgs moves especially. They fly up sidehops piss easy. Edit: Remember the Zoo has really long chainstays. So its that which gives it a big wheelbase aswel. So the Gu in terms of reach wont be all that much smaller. Edited January 10, 2010 by Echo-Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 we've had jack told and he now knows his life depends on the zoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gu trials Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 the zoo with it being longer will give you more leaverage on sidehops and things where as the gu with it being shorter it will be flickyer, pick up easier and ride good, the zoo will also ride good but if you are used to the zoo then id stay with it. also next time you are out with him have a go on the gu and see how it rides for your style, this could help you decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I didnt like 06 short gu when i went on it, and ive got 06 long gu and love it, id stick with the python to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally steaming!! Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah stcik with the python, unless you get a long gu they're the sex to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've got an 06 short GU, love it, would reccommend it and the wheelbase measures out to be 1030-1035 so it isn't exactly that short. Pretty light aswell considering the build its got on it and its still strong as However, never properly ridden an 06 thong so I can't say which I prefer.

Kieran Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 lol, its probs the long then, seeing as mine is dead on 1030. Scott's got the long, measures out to be 1045 - 1050 apparently You sure yours isnt the short ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Scott's got the long, measures out to be 1045 - 1050 apparently You sure yours isnt the short ? Yeah im sure, because the short is 1000 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Right, Scott does the wheelbase of your GU actually measure 1045 -1050 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Right, Scott does the wheelbase of your GU actually measure 1045 -1050 ? Think it was a tiny bit over 1050 before i got a new chain. With the new chain its about 1045 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, all this about Gu geo's is confusing. I'm gonna put it down as deng's geo's going wonky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith!! Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hmm, all this about Gu geo's is confusing. I'm gonna put it down as deng's geo's going wonky? pretty much, depends on what forks and chain you are running to be honest, the shorts obviously range from 1000-1015ish and longs 1030-1045 i had an 07 python which is ment to be 1040 and was nearly 1060 so meh.
