Man, i've wanted a GT frame

Submitted by BIKE NYC on 07/14/2010.

Man, i've wanted a GT frame for so long! I have a question, I'm going to be building new wheels and wanted to do b43's to phil wood's. Everyone tells me not to because it will be too heavy. I was wondering how you liked your's.

I ride on awful streets, so

Submitted by Yo on 07/16/2010.

I ride on awful streets, so I build my wheels for strength. I've used all the big American sealed hubs (WI/Paul/Phil), and Phils are the most high quality by far. It's the only hub I've never had to adjust out the box.

Any deep section rim 42mm or greater will be a bit heavy, especially on a phil, but I rarely have to true this wheel and you don't really notice the weight when you ride. It's essentially a set and forget combo.

Oh it's just....crisp.

Submitted by Yo on 04/19/2010.

Oh it's just....crisp. Everyone's talking ab alloy vs. steel, but with the carbon fork, it's tough to notice the difference in compliance.

It took me 3 stems to get it dialed; I used a set of RB021's on a Thomson 70mm w zero rise, and it was WAYYY too cramped. Moved to a 100mm with -5* rise with B125 drops and it feels wonderful. I had to track down a 90mm -10* rise w a 26.0 clamp to run the bullhorns, but all is well.

Definitely lighter than my steel NJS bikes, but it's almost too nice to ride everyday.

I have a b123aa with 110mm

Submitted by boomboomWOW on 04/19/2010.

I have a b123aa with 110mm stock stem right now and
I'm about to try the exact same setup: a b125aa w/100mm thomson stem with 5 degree rise, but where do you find the ones with neg rise?
I don't want to flip over a positive rise with the thomson logos backwards, looks kind of stupid...

Dude I feel you. When I use

Submitted by Yo on 04/20/2010.

Dude I feel you. When I use the 100mm w +5* rise I have to flip it over. Looks shitty, but what can you do, ours are definitely not the only bikes out there with a backwards logo. The same could be said for the "TH" on the seatpost logo hidden within the ST.

Hot damn. I want a GT so

Submitted by parkman14 on 04/17/2010.

Hot damn. I want a GT so bad. LOVE IT. I really like that with the Silver cranks and hubs. I think a silver seatpost would be a great addition, and both deep v's instead of one or the other. Maybe some older zipps. I want your seat.
