Greetings Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 All I can say is that the GU is definitely going to be the strongest out of those. Despite not looking like the old massively CNC'd TP's, they're actually very solid. Rockmans ride very well but they're not the strongest stuff out there. Saw my Slate break in half when it was still warm outside, didn't inspire me with confidence to try that brand again but I'm sure many people will recommend it. The Foxx is a frame for light riders, there's a 70kg rider weight limit on it. Can't comment on the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Have you considered a Neon X ray? Thats about the right geo and cheap enough to splash out on some other parts as well!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am to get a gu it would had to be the old 06-07 ones? Ive had a gu le before, I loved it untill I sold it but the BB rise wasnt my style.

Not really looked at them, Ive got alot of money to buy all from new, but if can get hold of a cheap one then yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) You cant go wrong with a Rockman. Tarty will have the new slate3 frames up tomorrow and I would recommend one of those. Edited January 6, 2011 by Savage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockman Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 will have a look at them. My slate 2 cracked in 8 months, think it was a weld fracture, out me off a bit, but they gave me a kortz 2.5 cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
