trialsiain Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 (edited) Stuck between two frames and need to decide so i can build a bike up before Sheffield on the 30th Looking at either a Limey 4 - Wheelbase: 1090mm Chainstay Length: 380mmBB Rise: 70mmHead Angle: 72°Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 650mm Gu - Wheelbase: 1095mm Chainstay Length: 380mm (18:15 gear ratio with no half link)BB Rise: 70mmHead Angle: 71 degreesCentre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 660mm Cant decide. Love the style/ colour of the GU but like the limey because it has integrated booster/ internal headtube etc..

BradJohnson Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 Run carbon forks with the GU and the geo will be pretty much the same as the Limey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYAKOV Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I would go for the gu cause of the head angle should be easier doing front to rear's, other than that all other measurements are almost the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run carbon forks with the GU and the geo will be pretty much the same as the Limey. 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.

DYAKOV Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 oh yeah, my bad.. considering this: the bigger, the better.. I thought it's the other way round, sorry! So get the limey then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialsiain Posted March 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 6ft ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.KYDD Posted March 14, 2014 Report Share Posted March 14, 2014 I cant imagine you have any trouble with either in that case. I'm around 5'8 and find Andrei's GU a little long for me but get on alright with Seddon's Limey 4 Mind you, Joe's about the same height as me so it's set up similar to my height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
