chimpanzyyyy Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 hi, I want to buy a gu frame ( the stock)but I don't know if I must buy the old one or the new one...for the old, I want the long one...the frame looks sex and perfect...he is ligther and looks more comfortable but now the new one is out and it's cheap...the geo looks more extreme than the old one... 1085 and 372... maybe not as good as the old one for the taps...and he looks more rigid than the old one...I'm 1m73 ....please help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damon W Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) The 06 Gu is a good frame, liked it, BUT! i knew what would make it ride better.....so i told Deng about a few little tweaks here and there, i feal sooooooooooo much more comfortable on the 07, right length and my posture is better imo i feal the geo is perfect for me on the 07, and everyone thats bin on it says they prefer it too..

trialsalot Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 given enough time you can tap anything but the point is consistency.once again this can be gained through practice.both sides have valid points.i had an 06 adamant long which was gash to tap with but i got used to it and tapped it occasionally the i got an 07 control long ang it took less time to learn to tap again and more consistant but as read above about practice blah. either way i'd still love a go on damons to see whats its like.sorry this doesnt help original post but sick of bickering lols'all good......except the bickering,begging to differ part.craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cultiv8ed_m@ Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I've had both the old n new frames, n prefer the 07 version. The changes on it make it ride so much nicer.Much easier on the back wheel,Nicer to sidehop, gap, u name it....the changes improve the bike lots.And it is deffinately much nicer to tap....daves point is irrelevant, he just cant ride high bb bikes lol.+ it looks better!hope this has helped and isnt too late.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
