J.KYDD Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Whats the geo? Awful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Have yet to measure or ride it as I have been (and still am) sat in work. Boo Need to measure it when I get home and bed in the freewheel so flat riding for a bit before pushing it. Will see if I can find a geo online though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Apparently, from what I have found its a barge of a frame with 1150 wheelbase and 0+/- bb rise. If anyone knows if that is true then that geo is pretty looong.. But the frame was cheap so worst case scenario I shift it for something shorter if required further down the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brettoll Posted March 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Well we will see tonight as it's going to get it's first proper ride.. Update to follow ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 It deffo isn´t 1150, more like 1100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 Frame looks funky. It's like they took the front end from a Zhi Z3R, and the rear from an old Pitbull and joined them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 It wont feel long. It's the chainstays which add the length... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Well it's not too bad after a couple of rides.. It is getting used to riding a long frame, not being able to bunnyhop and re-learning TGS again. Frustrating but I will keep plugging until I either get good at it again, or sell it and replace it with a street bike ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Actually sticking at it, got used to it being very long! It is nice on the back wheel and is fine for gaps and sidehops.. its just a bit weighty. It will do until I can afford something a bit lighter in the frame/fork/crank department. Honestly, I am pleasantly surprised by this frame as I always considered everything they did without Thiabult Marriaux or Martyn Ashton could be a bit ropey. But this actually performs ok!

Brettoll Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Is on the cards, as are wider bars. Then when I can, frame etc will eventually get changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 So after some deliberation, and only a few rides this is going up for sale... I just don't have the time to give it the riding it deserves. Watch for sale for the ad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
