I-LUV-TRIALS Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 I haven't been riding for very long and i am thinking of buying a frame although i was unsure weather a long or short frame would be best. At the moment i ride mainly street but sometimes natural all depending on what there is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 if you are a short person i would recomend a short frame, but if you are tallish around 6 foot mark then either would do!overall i would get a short frame 1060 wheelbase1 hope this stoppes you makin the same mistake as my mate tom! ben beckett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thinkbikes.com Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 You may find the thing that makes the bigest difference to the feel of a bike is the length, height of stem & width, rake of bars, you never know you may not notice the difference but alot of people over look that side.

Greetings Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Go for the GU S. It's a great frame, doesn't feel short and has a 1010 wheelbase. I loved mine but wanted a shorter bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
