Jamie_Trials Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 All depends what the spec is, they're pretty heavy frames, based around the ZOO python frames, I had one one once, pretty good just a bit long for me. Send us a link of where you're thinking of getting one from and I'll be-able to help a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Trials Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ok, it is the morning so if half of the stuff I say doesn't come through then just ask. The frame weighs about 2.1kg, one one of the heaviest frames around, the lightest being around 1.3kg these days. The front wheel is pretty light and has sealed hub bearings, the rear is average weight and isn't sealed so its more chance of messing up. Both tyres are good, not the lightest or the heaviest, just decent tyres. Brakes will be rubbish until you get some decent pads, they're pretty expensive but you won't regret it - Heatsinkbikes As far as the drivetrains concerned, its all good, the other guy said something about the freewheel poo, but they're one of the most reliable freewheels on the market so no need to worry. The forks are pretty old but they aren't steel unlike most budget bikes so they should be ok. The headset is sealed (I think) so you shouldn't have problems with that for ages. Handlebars will need changing, they're the worst bars you can get (weighs a ton and uncomfortable), Getting some risers from Tartybikes is probably your best bet. If you do that then you'll need a new stem too because the stem won't fit, (needs to be 31.8mm). T'is all good because they're the second worst part of the bike anyway. Apart from the parts I specified it should be all good, hope this helped you. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
