BetaNZ Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hi there, I can get an Onza Zoot from the New Zealand dealer for $1449 maybe a little less for the display one or from tarty bikes for $1324 NZ dollars including postage, The obvious choice would be the one from tarty bikes but then again I do live in New Zealand and having the backing of a new zealand dealer would be good, What do you guys think? and do tarty bikes give good back up for international orders?

AlexxRogers Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 TartyBikes are brilliant mate, I'd choose them every time. But it's totally up to you, maybe give both companies a ring, and see who you feel more comfortable with? Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have emailed the New Zealand dealer and he seems like a very nice guy and he said he would cut me a deal on the display zoot which seems good but I will email the tarty bikes guy and see what happens.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 My guess is that even if you bought the bike from Tarty, the local guy would still be happy to deal with any problems you encountered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaNZ Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I have found another, cheaper place to get the zoot it is, www.wiggle.co.uk and I can get the zoot for just over $1100 New Zealand dollars including postage which I think is the best deal yet. I was also looking at the Onza Bird 20" on there which seems like a very good bike, but what are the 20" bikes like at street riding and skatepark sort of stuff or is it going to be a lot better if I were to get a 24".

Mark W Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 The Zoot will definitely be more suited to skatepark riding and more BMXy style street riding. The stem on it as standard is fairly trialsy, so if you find you want to make it 'streetier' then a shorter/high stem would do the trick nicely.

Mark W Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Those links don't work, and you'd probably be better off e-mailing too. Only thing I would say is we can only price-match with items that are in stock, and Wiggle don't have any of those bikes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd add that the Zoot on Wiggle is also 95p more expensive than Tarty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I assumed that the postage was going to be cheaper from Wiggle or something? EDIT: Yeah, their shipping works out cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yeah, I assumed that the postage was going to be cheaper from Wiggle or something? I was thinking that but then I wouldn't trust Wiggle as far as I could throw them compared to you boys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 I was thinking that but then I wouldn't trust Wiggle as far as I could throw them compared to you boys... Haha, thanks. Yeah, their postage is cheaper than our's, although it doesn't say how long it takes or which service they use. The shipping costs on our site are what we pay those companies to ship it - we don't charge a handling fee or anything like that, so we aren't making money on it or anything. EDIT: The boxes the Zoots get sent in are slightly smaller than the ones we used to work out the automated shipping pricing, so often people get refunds on large international orders.
