  1. In a few weeks you gonna see really innovative rear hubs from Deng - I assume noone did what Deng manage to do. Also deng uses hydroforming for some time (take a look at control from '04 or team from '03 (?), they already got hydroformed tubing). Gu's polished welds are the SHIT IMO. Should do whole frames like that, would look like cannondale - sooo much more pro look. Geo is only a trend/fashion. It changes almost every year. You can't say exactly that one geo is better than the other. Two year ago everybody loved +10mm bb and 385mm cs, last year the top geo was +55/60mm bb and as short as possible CS:P. But somehow people changed their mind and it's know even more diffrent. Deng is slowly leaving ultra short chainstays and going back to 380/385mm.
  2. I was recently rather thinking about bb height:cs lenght ratio. As longer chainstays give you better leverage = more power, but also worse control on back wheel. On the other side we have bb height which defines ease of control on back wheel (higher bb = better control on back) and overall balance on a bike which is slightly harder on a high bb bike. So my conclusion was (after consultation with deng)... That actually perfect geo (in my vision of how bike should ride) would be the new czar's one, which should be in sale soon. It should give you great power and still really good control on back wheel compared to all those 375ers. Deng also says that bike should be easier to tap because of CS lenght. What do you think about this?
  3. You can't compare those two ! Because of price range, quality realibility etc. They sometimes make correct geo frames, it doesn't happen quite often though. Just buy something tested. Friend got some big problems with them. The article he has written is in Polish though.
  4. Emm... maybe try this
  5. Example?? I kinda feel guilty for forcing you to try not holdin your finger on FBL, but when I was changing my habit to not holding finger on FBL I also was looking for top riders doing this and couldn't find one. Think that it's because while riding natural it wouldn't be good idea.
  6. It's not an excuse for koxx that they make competition frames. They are at max 200g-250g lighter than average deng frame... And I don't think that they say each customer "Beware, if you are not PRO, don't buy it!". They should at least try to make them stronger. They do ride nice though:)
  7. Have to disagree with you, Reverend. Try-all rim ~790g Echo '07 rim ~830g 40g... isn't whole bike.;p EDIT: yea i meant 40;p
  8. GU frames can be already bought from Deng. I wait for my first delivery, should be anyday, so I guess tarty and select will also have it soon.
  9. I like, he is like a bit worse than guy from Hungary with similar bike and style..

    Love the looks of Czar, geo is also fine, I don't like the idea of 385mm chainstays though. Why not 375?
  11. deffo U6 as pure already had U6 and control was top model since it has been released. Also U6 is some mix of few alu types. They are not the same frames as I see that you are aiming at that. Control has got hydroformed front end tubes, pure not:)
  12. well... you won't ride both bikes anyway only the one, which will suit you better. But still nice to see that dengs sponsor more and more people.
  13. there is no such thing like echo 07 36h... Maybe try zhi 36h as it does the job pretty well, anyway better than try-all which sucks imo.
  14. good choice of ecommerce shop... I'm also working on it. Love the simplicity of site.
  15. It's long, it's written on his site... The bike is gorgeus. Glad you like it:) How is doing new 07 rim for you.. remember that 06 was rather weak under you.
  16. Yea it's good, but there were loads better movies i.e PTC_Christmas ride, BT Bike 1 and 2 (can't remember it exact name... it was starring Reczek's brothers and Kumurowski), parts of PFC3 made by Inur (amazing vid by the way!) and list goes on...
  17. yeah... right... Damn Neil... you are insane! I wonder if you wake up, go to the mirror, look at it and think " What record can I beat today?? Oh! Non! I beat them all" You have even wore black clothes to suit your bike:D
  18. http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0067.html 10 sec google search...
  19. what season it's gonna be?? In Poland everybody was bored after i guess 3rd season...
  20. doesnt work for me. I got wmp 11...
  21. It depends frames from u6 material are 1 year, lite etc which are 6061 are 6 months. Parts got pretty mixed warranty.

    Zhi G1?

    They were cracking like stupid so I wouldn't even consider them. The geo was arround wb 1050, bb rise +15, cs 375. Something like that. I took from my head though.
  23. Go with echo or zoo. I got on mod echo ones which are pretty decent and on stock I got adamant cranks which I find stiffer. Than rest. Take those cnc stuff. They firstly cold forged and than cnced for better looks.
  24. one finger, it feels the most comfortably in that way. I don't have finger on front brake lever when doing taps though as I find no need for it:)
  25. Oh come on guys. Comment!!! The vid is superb! One of the best I watched this year! You did great job mate! I dunno why but you don't want to comment abroad movies:P
