*gentlydoesit Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Whats the most desirable/popular frame at the moment and does it share its geo and weight with another frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 I assume the Onza Limey is the most popular Geometry measures at: 1090 Wheelbase +70 Bottom bracket height 380 Chain stays 72 Degree Head tube angle. Next nearest thing is probably the 2013 GU Wheelbase: 1095mmChainstay Length: 380mm BB Rise: 70mmHead Angle: 71 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customrider-Rhys Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 i would say the ozonys v3/v4 mainly for there unique look and good geo, and they ride lovely, the most solid feeling frame ive ever ridden Wheelbase: 1070mmChainstay length: 380mmBB Rise: +60mmHead Angle: 72° Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) The problem with a question like this is it has a massive personal preference factor. Everyone likes different geos and brands, and some people are simply too new to the sport to understand what is and what isn't a good frame. However that said, limey 4s are a common choice and are well known for their weight and strength. I have just sold mine and moved to a gu 2013 and it has instantly bumped my riding up. Koxx frames will always be highly desireable to most people though, especially given their price tag. Not to my taste mind. But breath make a replica for around half the price. So worth a look.

dave33 Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 koxx sky, the best riders in the world ride them(world champ) and thus very desirable and extremely popular all over the world, onza limey is popular here in the uk not many other countries sell them so in the wise scale they arnt. its all about fashion and trends really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 So all the geos of those frames are pretty close to one another, nothing radically differnt, i guess from there its down to preferance and strength, ive thought long and hard about a zhi team and it looks like im getting one. Thanks for all the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza1414 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 surely every frame has the possibilty of snapping at some point though, depending on how well its been manufactured or how it is ridden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) surely every frame has the possibilty of snapping at some point though, depending on how well its been manufactured or how it is ridden Obviously every frame has a certain life span, in trials if a frame lasts more than a year or two of regular riding it's considered to be strong imo in terms of new stuff. And with the limey 4, giving how light it is and how long they last I'd say they're really strong. Many frames around 04-08ish are still going good, but people wanted lighter frames, which means weaker. A common saying is this, choose 2. Price/Strength/Weight. However this doesn't always seem to apply in trials. Edited October 9, 2013 by JMCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazza1414 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 unfortunately there will always be someone to say a frame will snap, hence being unable to sell a bike on here due to all the bad press they get! but if your not not a hard rider going huge I'm sure most bikes will last.
