multi tasking male Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 yes gears is normal but most people use single speed now because its alot lighter and looks better in my opinion, from what i know the old zoot frames are prety good, they have the same geometry as the first inspired fourplay i think and from what i would guess there a prety solid frame, i havnt realy heard bad things about onza frames, if you do buy it though, the first thing you might want to do if it hasnt already got them changed a new set of pads, good ones like rockmans, tnn or heatsink and maybe a grind on your rim and then making it single speed if you have the money. hope this helps chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 It's fine, it's a good frame, strong. No-one seems to want one though, so they're hard to sell on. I think it's because when people think 24" they think 'seat bike'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 They're alright. Had one for about a year. Bombproof, but heavy. Sits between trials and street as a decent compromise, but as a result it's difficult to go really far in either area. Good if you're not sure which side of trials you prefer/like both - but I took a liking to the hoppy side of trials and it wasn't too great at that.
