Friend of mine had a Speed Series snap in half when they first came out too. They didn’t cover it, though. Said he was riding trails, and it’s not covered for that. ---

> [@smokeyburnouts](#): > > how’d the pro series frame work out for him? did he get the early, mid 90s style one or the newer, more low-profile one like mine ('99)? i think it should be a pretty versitile bike for mostly track use but the occasional trails session. The decals were the same as my ‘99 frame, that must have been what it was. I remember it took him a while to get used to the shorter frame since he was 6’ 1". The pro series was a nice bike. I’d still like to pick one up and start riding a little bit of trails. [QUOTE=munster\_ek;527452]Friend of mine had a Speed Series snap in half when they first came out too. They didn’t cover it, though. Said he was riding trails, and it’s not covered for that.[QUOTE] I was wrong about the recall. All speed series frames before '99 got replaced. He should have said it was used for track use only. The dealer I bought mine through made it clear that aluminum fatigues and GT wouldn’t cover broken frames from trail riding. ---

sweet. mines a '99 too but i have the ‘95 graphics on it. i think the top tube is 21’? i might be way off on that. it fits me fine. i rode it back to back with my friends speed series and the feel similar (sizewise) my front end will lift alot easier but obviously the speed series frame is alittle lighter/stiffer. i tried to make up for the added weigth with my parts though. a quick fork swap and i should be ok for some trails. ---

My setups have always been the same. 21" top tube w/ a pro stem. Always ran the rear axle the whole way forward in the dropouts except for my FBM. The rear triangle is really short. ---

I ran a 21" Barcode, and I’m much happier with the 20.5" WTP 4-Seasons. 20.5" TT with a slammed rear wheel (13.75" I think) makes for a happy manual. ---

I run a 21" TT, 13" rear end on my LAF…I ground the dropouts in a hair so I can run my 25T / 9 driver setup and the perfect length with no chain tensioners. ---

Didn’t build a high wedge. Just something to mess with in the winter. Did that rather than putting the new suspension on the rear of my car.
