Grovesy93 Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hi, I'm going to start building up a new bike, it is definitely going to be a stock. I was just wondering what people think of the GU LE 09 frame and if it is any decent. Also what forks, stem, bars and wheels I should get. I am going to go rear maggy and front hope disk but just need help on the main frame of the bike bit Cheers for any help Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 They are really decent frames. Im not a huge fan of the colour buts that easily sorted. Only thing id watch out for is that it is quite long, thats fine if your above 5,10". Just not so great for short arses like me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Echo urban forks are well rated, Probably echo forged stem depending on how big you like them. Not sure about bars or wheels. You coming out riding? Im well bored. Edited June 16, 2010 by Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I've got one and it's a great fit for me at 5' 11". Built with an Onza Tuf Guy fork (Because having snapped an Echo urban after about 8 months I'd be very slow to trust Aluminium forks at that price again, the Trialtech fork is the only one I'd trust, but it's silly money - I've snapped a load of steel forks too, but they all cracked slowly and bent instead of just letting go without warning like the Echo fork). I run a Tarty forged stem and Trialtech risers and the bike is awesome on the front wheel. I run dual disk on it and wouldn't go back to Maguras either.
