DannyBazz (: Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Orite chaps,so they thing is my mum has said I can get a new frame for my birthday (believe me I need one) so I've been looking around. The ZOO! Lynx and Because Simple are my main choices, and I just can't decide between the two.Heard that the Lynx' has been snapping on prototypes but dunno if this is just a rumor. Not heard much about the Because, but from what I have heard they're strong, decent frames.So, seeing as I can't decide, I've turned to you lot Advice would be appreciated Danny Bazzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmackay Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 I'd saw definately go with the ZOO! Lynx. Just because they are a more well-known and reliable company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 When has deng ever openly tested any frame?! But still i'd go for the ZOO! as it is from a more "reputable" company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Lynx, simply because riding something called a Because Simple would be more of an embarrassment than riding without any clothes on. So if you're looking for some embarrassment, you'd be better off buying the Lynx and riding naked. At least that might get you laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will4eva7k Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 i dont see whats "embarrassing"?the frames are priced are so low and the geometry is decent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Because is Neon's budget brand... and Neon to begin with aren't of that a high quality, strength, or design compared to Deng. Despite people slagging Deng off, he knows what he's doing, and just needs a reliable factory to carry it out for him (some times, the factories in the past have genuinely screwed up... e.g. the Zoo/GU/Czar/Adamant Riser bars)Lynx.

Otacon Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Deng testing frames?????!!!!LOL, ses the one riding the weakest frame ever.Deng may not test his frames, but it's koxx who need get there act together, my friends XTP2, cracked in 8 places in like 4 months riding and he's about 5ft6 and 10 stone, somethings not quiet right.

Sponge Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Deng used to test his frames extensively through riders. Nowadays he does it on the computer through some advanced CAD sorta program to analyse stress thresholds or whatever... I'm not an engineer, but it's something like that?

Greetings Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 (edited) Finally someone on here speaks sense.He does speak sense, but that doesn't mean you can ignore all the nonsense that's been posted in this thread.But what Sponge is saying is true, the majority of Deng product range cock ups (apart from stuff like freewheels, Deng Cheese rims etc.) were due to poor quality manufacturing which until recently had little to do with him. Now that he owns a factory, the quality has much improved. It finally reminds one of the good old pre '06 frames. Another major change is that the manufacturing and QC is being managed by the co-founder of Echo who seems to be pretty serious about his job. So hopefully all these changes will have a big impact on the final product.This is really not an easy question to answer, on one side you've got very decent quality, on the other a lightweight frame.And unless we're in for a breakthrough, light frames will never be as strong as heavy duty ones like the old Controls or Adamants. Although the gold Coustellier frames were pretty damn strong and light at the same time weren't they?So you'll never know until you ride one. I stand by my initial post though. Even Somewhat Ridiculous would be a better frame name than Because Simple. Edited June 15, 2009 by Greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D A N N Y Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 dannys never going to snap a frame, not a harsh/hard rider at all, your all reading too far into the question,so over asking the question witch frame will last longer etc, what frame will ride the best, all the zoo is now is a heavy natty style frame.riding wise Id much more see danny on the because riding that frame better than the zoo. neon are cheaper frames all around and you do get what you pay for, however there frames ride really nice, as a beginer/learner/up and coming, your less likly to have problems in the framesnapping etc. so as i allready said in the above, over the brand think what would suit a newby most. the because might not be as strong as a zoo fair play but 6MONTH WARRENTY who atually cares.

So some people are saying zoo, some because ha hard to decide :|Anyway, Seen an echo lite for sale £100 so thinking of getting that... not sure atm thought DannyMy echo lite frame for £95 posted? I was in a similar situation a few weeks back between these 2 frames. I wanted to buy the Because because it was cheap and looked pretty decent but I also wanted to buy the Zoo cos, it's a zoo... And it does look pretty nice and light. It's not a massive price difference either between the 2 and I wouldn't mind buying either to be honest.
