Tom3bar Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Hello all once again,Well as you know I'm about to buy a new trials bike.I've been riding on a AliBongo until now... more street then natural.my height is about Cm, and i want a more natural oriented frame!So i really confuse, i;m thinking about: main frame - Simtra ST-1 (1080), Adamanat A1 (short 1080+-)also czar\pure - but I'm afraid from the clearance between the crank and rear brake.*about the simtra - it's relatively old frame... does it Geo and frame shape can compete with today latest frame?I'll appreciate and help, info, enlightenment about frames etc.Thank you all,Tom.***EDIT***For NATURAL riding, what will be best : simtra, A1 or CZAR??

Synergy Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 simtra is not at all an old frame. but id say for nattural probably easier with a shorter frame? im probably wrong though. id say the echo pure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endohopper Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Afraid I can't offer advice on either frame as I've not riden 'em , but don't leave me all alone as the only rider to still use a saddle , please . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'd get a Zhi Z1. The geometry of that frame seems well balanced if you get me. And you shouldn't have any crank clearance issues either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 of those frames u list... id go the pure. most reliable out of them imo.or BT raven, Toxsin.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben_OCP Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 simtra is not at all an old frame. but id say for nattural probably easier with a shorter frame? im probably wrong though. id say the echo pure.I agree, you'd probably be doing more moves on two wheels while riding natural right? So I would say a shorter frame with not too high of a bb rise would be nice. You could always try out your mates bikes too, and then decide which feels more comfortable to you?
