SQuiT-man Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 So, anyone actually rode one yet?Im mostly interested in the Gu mod, but knowing about opinions on the RIDE of the toxsin mod would be pretty cool too.How does the gu compare to a python CLS or zona zip for all the different moves-what is it better/worse at?Cheers,Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Someone in NMC has one built up and is really sexy. Considering swapping to be honest As for the Toxsin, Peter B (don't know full name sorry) did a video for it, and handles it really well He's also making me consider that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Wow, someone other than me made a positive comment about the toxsin! Yeh Im considering one cos I wouldnt mind a slightly stretched, even lower-standover monty 221-type geo bike, plus I like the look.So are there any pics of either fully built up (other than the ones for the Gu on their website)? What did the guy in NMC say about his? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Wow, someone other than me made a positive comment about the toxsin!I had my doubts but from Peter Backgrens vid they look to ride awsome. Im not sure how much they are but i cant see them been as expensive as a monty.Id very much like to try one myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 oo oo! I can compare the Gu mod to the CLS Python (and silly sam holmes)All on GU- Gaps: similar step-down/drop gaps: easier Sidehops: easier Ups to front overall: easier wheelswaps: slighty harder front-to-back swaps: easier rolling ups(backwheeling):similar Hooks: i cantThats the GU long, with same bar+stem set-up on both.

Swize Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 (edited) Rode Mr Sam Wheeler's GU today and I must say it was awsome. So easy on the backwheel super easy to controle, Sam said: "not as nice as his python for downgaps but nicer for frountwheel moves".Anyway I must say for the GU I was dead impressed .

Joe_Elding Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Did that echo finally die? Or will it just be left somewhere?Martin Grainger had it after sam got his python and has since cracked it. So i guess it died Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
