StuartD Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Hello, some may remember me from my first post, For those that dont know Im looking to start trials, I can do most of the basic moves (bunny hop, endo, wheelie (altho not use in trials). In my other thread people recommended a T-pro, I really dont like the looks of that style of bike, too much BMX-style which im not a fan of.Doing some more scouting around for the past 2 days Ive seen the Onza Zoot, which tickles my fancy, on tartybikes its £550 new, which Id need to wait a whole month to get (only just been paid). Found this on ebay, which i could get now, Just looking for some opinions as im completely new to this sport, I really dont want to buy a lemon >.<.Cheers guyshttp://stores.ebay.co.uk/Mikes-Super-CyclesOk its the first bike in the list, top left, Onza Zoot Edited August 12, 2007 by StuartD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam-Griffin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 link works for me but i think you could get it cheaper really but it is cheap Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGnu Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 If that's what you want and it's £100 cheaper than it is anywhere else, as long as it's not haggered, but it says it's brand new. I would have thought it'd be your best bet really. The guy's got alot of good feed back aswell.But I can't really tell you about what it'd be like to ride compared to a 26 or 20 inch bike so you might be better off waiting for someone with experience on all 3 sizes or someone who can give you a good comparison from experience.

Ill wait for more replies before I decide, but its looking promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticker Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I used to have an onza zoot and i didn't really like it it felt heavy and i thought it hindered my progression. i got rid of it for a t-pro which i found a lot better as it is lighter and more flickable and then i got an echo lite, as you are wanting to get into the sport i would go for a mod. Also when i had my zoot i found it very hard to get hold of trials parts for it as it is a bit of an oddball size. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
