Title: Gt Slammer 2010. Were they smaller?
Post by: Gal on December 09, 2012, 09:33 PM: Hi all. I'm 43, 5ft 8 or 9 and just bought one of these. Now, my last Mongoose wasn't this small I am sure. I may be wrong though. Were the Gt Slammers smaller at all?

If I'm to ride it I will have to get a layback seat post and maybe some different bars. What do you lot suggest? I wish to keep it either in red or white to go with the frame also.

Ta!!

Post by: Gal on December 09, 2012, 10:45 PM: Just to ask. Is the whole frame smaller or just top tube?

I bet the Slammer came with a front load 'dropped stem' and bars about 7.5" high and 27" wide?

Get a top load stem to raise the bars then get some bars at least 8" high and 28" wide.

That will get you rolling.

Then when you've got some more dough get a 21" Top Tube frame with a 13.75" or shorter rear end and put your Slammer parts on it.

Jobs a good 'un.

Keep the faith. L
