Recommended Posts

Although i made the mistake and thought they could from a 08 t-bird. And they didn't so had to fork out loads of money.

Are you buying a zip?

The headset, crankset, and backwheel won't fit. Unless you have a 19" rear wheel?

I'm sure I had issues with my old 24t sprocket not fitting the Zona Zip frame properly, maybe it was because the chain ran so high up compared to an 18:12 set up? Don't remember now..

The headset's in the T-Birds and internal, and the Zonas are external, so that'd need to be replaces.

Zonas take a 19" rear wheel, not a 20" one like the T-Birds have, so you'd need a new wheel too.

They are brilliant frames though, I've had a go on a Zoo before, and I much prefered my Zona to it, felt easier on the backwheel.

They're a little on the heavy side though, but I can't really feel it when I ride mine!

Well I had a saracen 2.ZERO, and I had to buy an new BB because the chain ring did not clear the frame.

This could also be a problem for you but I just picked up a Toxsin one of ebay for about £20.

This could help, but I think it would be a better idea to sell some of the parts off the T-bird and e.g. Frame, Crank, BB, Rear Free Wheel and so on.

But some parts e.g. wheels, bars and stem could be used again all though I would recommend upgrading the forks because they weigh a ton.

Hope Iv helped.

Leo.

Most T-Birds are 19 on the rear and mines a 19
