Re: Longuns bikes, yes all of them....

Re:

Bugger, set front brakes up and the larger gt hub means the spokes catch the forks!! For forks sake!!!!!! Need a smaller front hub :(
 
Re:

I had the same with a WTB hub in Bontrager forks, the spokes just clipped the fork leg. It was only by a mm, so I relaced the wheel radially and it clears now.
 
Re: Longuns bikes.........all of them, jan=claud butler antaeus

wheels swapped out for some dx/mavic 234's and fit like a stocking on a chickens leg :) even swapped for some blackwall smaoke/darts and after the trick rear yoke decided it didnt want to grip a good old fashioned shimano yoke fitted.

all seems good at mo, may take it for a blast saturday morning if im aloud out to play haha

These always look good with neat touches and tidy faux fillets. Are the frames any good though, in the respect that they are fairly boggo 501 on the Classic (I can't see the decals properly) do they ride any better than something more exotic tubed like the about CB which has a much more conventional construction?

Re: Longuns bikes.........this week a zinn

rides the same tbh as my posh ones and budget ones.i'd love a shorter stem with a tad more rise but that will never happen.
 
Re: Longuns bikes.........this week a zinn

The Zinn is very nice, but that CB with the Pace forks looks awesomely purposeful.
 
Re:

I don’t think the tubing makes so much of a difference when you are riding them. Only tube set I really noticed was Columbus genius

A 501 zinn rides really well, good design, fit and alignment is the key for me
