liam_thornton Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 HelloI have decided to get a new frame, i've currently got an 05 onza t-pro, i've got my eye on the GU Typhoon but i'm not sure if i should get the the short or the long frame. I just measured myself and i'm about 5.7 ftThanks, Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 shortlong bikes feel terrible for me, gapping is harder, and so is backwheeling, more importantly they are a twat to spinshort bikes rule for everything, except for just standing there balancing on the backwheel where long bikes seem to have there only advantage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom 20 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Fair enough there, i have a mission( really really short) and i find that it is difficult to sidehop as it just dosent sit on the back wheel, the front pulls you down. so i purchased a echo team frame and now awiting to build up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 if you have been on Pizzy's bike and that is long then you should get a long 1 if you liked it, but if you prefer the length you ride now then just stick to that u BASHER!!!! xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mod-Bodger Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 long definitly since i used to ride a mission and now have a '07 tpro and it feels massive in length compared to the really really short prodigy frame.p.s. i know a '07 t-pro is tat long but i have been on my friends zoo! and it soo much easier to keep the front end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_thornton Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for all of the replys and help I will probaly get a short frameThanks, Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcourt2005 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Personaly i prefer Longer frames.I find them so much easier to ride.Although I dont see awful amounts of difference in the size the ride is alot better personaly.I Think the magority of designs on the longer stocks look nicer than the shorter ones, for instance i love the look of the echo control.Definatly think you should get a longer frame mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
