DFerris Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 I'm going to change my V1 Koxx XTP which measures 1100mm (should be 1085 with Koxx Forks) with Echo Pure forks in the next few weeks. I'm stuck between getting a 1075 and 1100 length GU. I am 6ft 1in and would consider myself to a more natural orientated rider who doesn't mind doing a bit of street. I know front touching, wheel swapping, hooking, sidehopping and front rolling gaps should all be easier on a longer bike. But what reason is there to get the 1075 over a 1100? Aso, am I right in saying with the 60mm BB rise and head angle the 1100 GU should feel alot shorter than my XTP? I know there is a few of these which bike topics, but its better being sure about what your going to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 yes the 1100 will feel shorter than the xtp. my mate has recently changed from a xtp 2(1090 to a vinco(1115) and the xtp felt longer. his riding has improved q.abit and its alot better for natural so i would go 4 the 1100 GU or maybe a vinco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Go for the 1100 GU, as he said it will feel shorter but have all the benefits of a longer bike so you get the best of both worlds. The bottom bracket height does feel strange at first, as you have loads of clearance over other frames but thats a good thing <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
