Hi there,
Been offered a GHP Pro cruiser to try out for a week or so, and wondered what everyone who has one thinks about it?
They look really good - although my one will be boring black - gotta get Dan on the job and prob go with the original orange colour from BITD.
So are they any good?
Even if you don't have the cruiser LMK about your 20" too.
Cheers!
Paul

Black doesnt have to be boring!

Both my boys have GHP frames and it's the first aluminium frames they've had and the first race-specific frames they've had as well.
They really like them

They look nice (for an aluminium frame) and will certainly be lighter than your current Brew frame, Paul. Back end looks a bit long though.
Anyone know what kind of pedals those are on the GHP that Brandy Truffle posted?

Slim ones Mike!!
That is one of the only NS bikes I have gone WOW :shocked: at.......very sexy and slick :4_17_5:
-
Dunno for sure, but might be gussett slim jim's.
I am hoping it wil feel like my old Redline Flight pro 24.
Had ally frame, and was stiff as a board, so let's see how it goes.
Rear does look long on the 20, but I've been told it is really short at the rear. (I'll have to wait and see....)
And that black n red one does look the doggies doodars!

Pedals are definitley not Gusset Slim Jims.
Could be Atomlab Trailkings.
They look good though.
-
Cheers Russ,
I wasn't looking for a new frame - I do love the Brew cruiser I have right now - but I have been asked if I'd swap the Brew frame for the GHP so thought I'd give it a try 1st.
As soon as it get's here I'll let ya's know what I think.
As I said I loved my redline flight cruiser - so hope this feels similar.

MotoBMX I think. Matt Wickham has them on his GHP. They worked well when I rode it.
And I love the Love Lever, that's my next lever for sure. :smitten:
