Dallas Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Hi, I came here seraching for some help deciding to buy a GU long mod frame or a GU short mod frame. I was riding the 2004 echo team mod, and I felt cramped on it (I am 5'10" tall). The GU frame has a higher bb than the Echo, so I thought that the longer GU frame might feel better because of this. Honestly I have no idea....the long frame might feel terrible and its a $600 frame and I don't want to mess this decisions up. Any advice would be really appreciated.Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiffnips Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'd go with the long, i am around the same hight as you and thought the short was horrid although i have not ridden the long yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Posted January 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I think I am going to go with the long GU mod simply because of the higher bb and the fact that I feel super cramped on the shorter mod frames.

mtbjosh Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 ive been on a long GU 20" and 2005(maybe 2006 i cant remember) Echo Team 20". In my opinion, the echo team was nearly enough to make me convert to 20" it kicked ass, i loved it and it felt better than the GU although the GU is pretty nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
