  1. Last post of the day, hope you guys feel honored as I'm still on my 3 post per day curfew.

    I made the new account as I've done a bit of growing up and didn't want to be tied with all the childish behaviour I was doing on the other account.

    The frame feels spot on to ride, the lowish bb and high front end makes the bike feel like it actually fits me. Previously I was on a super high low front end comp machine and I was just no good for my knees or back. This thing actually feels like a bike and doesn't feel like I'm just going to ride into things like all my previous bikes have felt like. It's really good for bunny hops and rolly stuff (did a 40" wall, bunnyhop to manual the other day)

    Anyway so far so good, plus it's lasted 5 weeks. Must bera new record or something.

    Cheers for the comments!!

  3. The only problem on the newer ones is the brake mounts. On the pre 2012 models they cracked at the chainstay, but the newer ones have gussets to stop this. Run a booster with the newer ones amd it should last a long time.

  4. Wont it make it harder if your not as "over the front" ?

    :)

    still a cm difference in reach though, Is that a noticeable amount ?

    I'm unsure about reach to be honest, I'm only really clued up on wheel base and BB height. I can't imagine it making much or a difference though.

    Saying that, speak to Jack Harmer or James Bancroft, they have both ridden both bikes in question, and i know Jack said he preferred the GU to the Limey.
