GU frame 20" 2013
2013 Gu 20" frame with titanium BB included!
Brand new for 2013, the latest frame from GU!
- Styled around the GU LE '09 frame - including it's trademark 'tail' - this frame features several improvements.
- Neat touches like the enlarged breathe holes at the ends of the frame tubing help save weight.
- CNC-machined BB yoke is cleverly designed to help reduce weight whilst making the rear end of the frame as stiff as possible.
- Small, neat CNC-machined dropouts spaced at 116mm.
- Integrated chain tensioners - as used on the latest Echo and ZOO! frames - help you achieve perfect chain tension whilst being neat, lightweight and out of harms way.
- Standard head tube (104mm long) is relieved on both the inside and outside to keep it as light as possible - a large cut-out on the front also helps save additional weight.
- Dedicated 4-bolt rim brake mounts - spaced at 101mm - are slotted to keep weight down. They also match the look of the Echo TR Brake Clamps!
- IS disc brake mount also allows the use of a disc brake should you wish.
- Features the 'Spanish' BB system used on Echo and ZOO! frames which uses a large press-fit bearing - this gives a longer BB life, whilst still using a strong M15 ISIS spindle. The upgraded Echo Urban ISIS Titanium BB is supplied with the frame!
- Uses the new Echo Mini Bashplate system, making the complete bashplate setup lighter than before. Each frame is supplied with a colour-matched bashplate, complete with silver Titanium bolts!
- Available in either anodised Blue or Orange, with laser etched GU graphics.
- Recommended for 18:12 gear ratio and front freewheel only.
