CRANK BRO Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 GUYS,well what a forum ive just been speaking to El Muelio,who has given me his time and help by trying to sort out what sort of bike i may like.Has i seem to be going round and round trying to find out what bike may suit me.And after a good long chat,we came up with the ZONA ZIP,Which to me looks a great bike to start on.im 6ft so we think this bike may be good to start with?HOW many of you guys have owned one of these bikes?What do you think to them for the new guy to learn on?ARE there any more bikes like the zona zip that may be of use to me please?Once again many thanks to EL MUELIO for the frendily advice he gave to me a true trials buddy thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty M Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Alright, They are a really nice bike when they have a decent build on them.I learnt alot on my mates Zona they really do make your riding progess. just watch the bashguard mounts on them? i've heard they are bad for cracking there.

Danny Kearns Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Zona Zip's are amazing frames. I progressed so much on mine.The geo is awesome. Perfect if you want to learn TGS riding (Taps, gaps and sidehops). They are a reasonable weight. Fairly light but strong all the same.I couldn't reccomend this frame more.You'l be able to learn on this bike and ride it at a high level of trials.I'd say a deffinate yes. Muel knows his shit.Danny.

Muel Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Cheer Danny.I just thought it would be a decent bike within his price bracket, with a frame that you could upgrade around as you get more into it/break stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
