collossus Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 i've recently bought a coustellier st blaise frame, and found a bike on internet for sale that look exactly the same, or almost. the other bike is a zoo pitbull can any one tell me the differences in frames, and which would be the better out of the two , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Zoo! Pitbull has a nicer geometry. The coust is too long with a BB that's too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collossus Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 but the frames look exactly the same ? what would a second hand coustellier frame be worth ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 It's only when the bike is built you will see the differences. I'm presuming it's a 2004 pitbull frame?I've got no idea about the price, nothing over £100 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collossus Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 so i was probably ripped off paying 400 for the bike then , i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That's not bad really, depending on spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) thats good mate, i just got one recently as well your spec sounds nice as well heres a piccy of minethe difference is that the coust has a lower bb and maybe a bit weaker as well dont quote me on that, but there bloody light as well, i had a t rex as well (looked like a coust) i got my frame for 70 posted btw Edited January 29, 2009 by lankyri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 try all rims, hope front hub , chris king classic rear, onza crank, echo lite forks, hs33 etcNot a bad spec, but they'll most likely be control/urban forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
