flipkickbs Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) I don't see how your gu is 'dying', you have pointed out no actual problems with the frame, and yet you want to replace it? maybe if you said you did not like how it rode then people would be more willing to help rather that ask questions as to what is wrong with the gu. I seriously doubt there is stress marks on the welds, and frame flex is very common and usually intended in a frame to prevent it from breaking after five minutes. But if you really don't like it then all i can think of is a koxx levelboss, or a zona zip. Edit: tyre rub on the frame?????? Thats YOUR setup there so you can't go blaming a perfectly good frame for that, and whats even more ridiculous is that your asking people for other frame reccomendations from the gu stating that the gu dents badly, LMAO!!! so your left with onza or koxx? have fun with the downtubes on them. When i say have fun, that involves not touching them or going out in strong winds. Get a python or some other deng frame, there better than most other frames out there and well priced, can't go wrong.

Ianright let em get this straight MY SETUP with the tyre that is intended for the frame rubs anywhere i set it up ON BOTH SIDES i love how it rides i just dont want to end up flat on my face:) the tyre has rubbed probably not far off right through now that a good enough reason oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granty Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 what tyre are you running? and if it is a 2.5 not the new monty 2.7 you might want to get a longer chain and pull your wheel back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 the tyre has rubbed probably not far off right through now that a good enough reason Through the frame? Dream on..... Your set up sounds to be fuct, and denting is down to you, bike's don't dent themselves. The time you've spent whining about it on here could have been put to fixing the problem.

Hobnobs Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 You say you want a monty but not the price tag. Check out the 221 Pr, its a monty, and doesnt have the price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011001000110010101110010 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Or a Triton Gazza frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Or a Triton Gazza frame?Aren't they £700? If so, i think a 221ti is slightly cheaper and he cant afford that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Or a Triton Gazza frame?He was complaining about frame flex before though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
