Lawnmowerman Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 - Fully constructed from tough U6 aluminium, as proven by Echo and ZOO, with super-stiff CNC machined Chain and Seatstay yokes. - Thicker tubes than most frames for increased frame life and dent resistance, also makes the frame stiffer for superb power transfer! - Bracing plates between the top and down tubes also increase front end stiffness, perfect for getting the most out of the bike when front tapping and hooking. - Takes standard 1 1/8" headset. - Dedicated 4-bolt Magura mounts as standard on the frame, with built in booster for maximum brake stiffness and control. - Bashplate-less design offers excellent weight saving benefits. - Sculpted 3D CNC machined one-piece chainstay/BB yoke offers excellent tyre and freewheel clearance and help create a super strong frame. - Integrated chain-stop boss on the driveside chainstay yoke prevents unwanted chain stretching and/or damage from obstacles. - Toptube and downtube gussets at the headtube join provide excellent strength and stiffness. - Unique CNC sculpted dropouts offer excellent strength, weld contact area and looks. - Ultra compact frame design offers excellent stand over clearance with a frame height of just 4.5". - Brushed aluminium and lacquered finish resists scratches and looks classy! - 110mm long head tube. - Weight 1.811kg/3.9lbs Geometry Wheelbase: Short 1000mm, Long 1030mm Chainstay Length: 362mm BB Rise: 60mm Head Angle: 72 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: Short 595mm (23.5"), Long 615mm (24.25") Research Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Staples Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 (edited) GU frames are by no means light. the weight of the bike will obviously depend on the components chosen.one of the fully built bikes on tartybikes will be quite light, yes. like 24/25lbssssedit: yes the geometry is pretty good, but that depends on the type of rider you are, and also height/size will have something to do with it.buy the bike. but be diff and get the 1070.
