Thanks alot,Mike.Overall they are preety damn nice. They are strong, ride nicely, aren't the lightest but with a decent spec needn't be heavy. Just try get rid of the dodgy decals I've had my T-Rex for a while now and am moving to a toxsin 1 for some moderate BB rise and abit less weight.Strong and reliable frame.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 They're 500g heavier than most of the frames out now, but they are also very very stiff.I've had 2 over the course of my riding time and have to say IMO they ride well so long as you use the right bar/stem setup. With cheap, poor geo stems and crap bars they're obviously going to ride shit. But stick something decent on and they'll ride beaut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Really nice strong frames, good geo aswell. Alot of people forget that there 250quid frames. If you was really bothered about weight you could do things like tartyadam has done to his czar and it will still be bloody strong frame.

Shaun H Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Onza stem zoo bars?Thanks up to now by the way So long as it's the flat 100mm Onza stem, mine came with a 75mm which wasn't right for me so I got a 100mm Echo one which was perfect.
