TrialsIsHard Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 depends what your price range is really, for a bigger budget an inspired fourplay. But I have an onza zoot and its brilliant As for height it shouldn't matter as long as you put the right stem on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBarnes Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 haha i have looked at the zoot.. but its just a bit steep... i think this is a bit low but id like to spend about £200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 haha i have looked at the zoot.. but its just a bit steep... i think this is a bit low but id like to spend about £200 keep a look out on ebay, and on here then I got mine for a steal! £260 with hope hub, avid elixr, trial tech stem! But i did wait until one for that price came up patience is key.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 the zoot is excellent value! even at £500 although they do crop up on ebay for £300 occasionally, unless your very lucky £200 isn't going to get you very far with a new bike. you could be lucky though. if your keen to learn it is worth investing in a decent starter back so you aren't held back. good geometry, decent brakes (assuming you don't want to ride brakeless, buy thats hard even with a few years experience under your belt...) and a good engagement freewheel/freehub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
