Hey guys,
I know this is a uni forum, but I know there’s a lot of you that are curious to try riding biketrials. Well, here’s the perfect gateway
To be sold as a framekit, so: frame, headset, bashguard, and rimtapes.
This is the GU Typhoon mod frame, a sister brand of ECHO bikes, this particular model is no longer available to buy from retailers for a few years now.
Spec:
-CNC’d plates and in-built brake booster welded to a very high standard
-VERY stiff overall construction
-Anodized matte black with laser-etched GU logos. More durable and lighter finish than powdercoating.
-100% Full Ultra-6 aluminium alloy (heat treated) tubing throughout
-(Ultra 6 alloy is regarded as the most durable alloy for use in trials frames, superior to both 7005 and 6061. Nowadays Ultra-6 is rare to find in a trials frame due to rising material costs. I believe this GU was the last generation frames that the ECHO & GU company used Ultra 6 alloy)
-Retail price was around £370 GBP for bare frame when it used to be available… Check my price at the bottom of this post incl. other parts!
-This particular one I’m selling, I can confirm, is the LAST of this model available anywhere in the world!
Geometry:
-1030mm wheelbase
-362mm chainstays
-110mm headtube length
-72 degree headangle
-(+60mm) bottom bracket rise
Now… What else is included with the frame?
-Echo SL CNC’d headset with Titanium bolt (black, brand new) (sealed angular contact bearings, the lightest and the most popular headset in trials since it first came out in 2009!)
-Echo SL CNC’d bashplate with 3x Titanium bolts (black, brand new) (very light, protective, and durable, looks aggressive yet stylish at the same time!)
-Try-All CARBON-FIBRE rimtape (x2). Very unique rimtapes, carbon fibre look. RARE
If bought from a shop- Frame- £370, Headset- £40, Bashplate- £35, CF rimtapes- £8 … Total… £453
BUT
My Price- £250 only for the entire kit.
I can ship worldwide at a very reasonable price.
