Kieran Morrison Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I'm probably going to be buying this frame soon and was wondering: Is it strong? Whats the Geo? Is there anything i would need to change of my echo (eg. bb?) to fit this frame? Does it ride nice? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 My bad, I've got the standard Z3 frame (with disc mount) and it was indestructable. I hit the downtube with enough force to dent a rim and theres barely a scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azarathal Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 He's asking for the Z3R geo not Z3. My Z3 was +50 bb anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Morrison Posted August 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thought it might mean that It wont affect my riding too much will it? then again my bike is 9kg justnow and this will add 500g so its 9.5, which is still pretty light! But is the geo you told me the same frame as im talking about? (the z3r ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is the geo you told me the same frame as im talking about? (the z3r ) You should ask whoever it is you're planning on buying it from to measure it up for you And I personally don't think another 500g will hold back your riding at all.

Kieran Morrison Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) I didnt want to make a new topic so i thought i would just put it in this. Im stuck between these 2 frames: Bionic B5ST and the Zhi Z3R Bionic pros- Nice geo, higher BB Bionic cons- Looks ALOT like my echo's shape Zhi Pros - Decent length, Same bb size as my Echo, Looks amazing ZHI cons - Lower BB than Bionic Im still waiting for the Proper Geo of the ZHI, but so far i know that the bb is around +55 and its 1005mm long Bionic geo is +75 and 1005mm long So, what one should I go for?
