Prawny Baby Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hum, not my thing. Kinda looks like a nice ish frame built up with second-rate, overpriced parts. Oh, it is.

Luke Drewery Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 That is one sweet looking bike, diferent to most other pitbulls that ive seen too (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Possibly the worst pitbull I have seen. It just looks very cheap. Big coloured rims etc look tacky but that bike looks like its had no though put into it at all. Wheelset looks like something from an apollo/reebok bike. Out of ALL the V!Z parts you sell it doesn't look like you use very many of them. Think your black dog looked a good bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boothy Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Nice bike there mate. (Y) But i always think zoo pitbulls really do look much better with a front disc. (Y) Don't know why though :S Mat :P ← I agree. Dont know why though. Nice looking bike, but I think that the forks would look better silver. How can you say that looks cheap? Anyone who knows about trials, knows what the spec is, and knows how much it is worth. Edited April 28, 2005 by Boothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who knows about trials, knows what the spec is, and knows how much it is worth. ← thats exactly the thing.... knowing what we do about trials we all know its a highly expensive bike, and its such a shame that its been made to look cheap and substandard through the use of badly coloured components!!!! come on, no-one can say that chromed look front rim looks anything other than plain TOYS R US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, made to look cheap? What are you on about? everyone has different opinion to you, you might think it looks crap, but other might think its looks very tasty.

(Y) :P ← Bikes (to me) can't look attractive. They can be colour-coded, but that's it. Let's face it, we judge bikes on how nice they would be to ride. It looks like all the Koxxes and Echoes you see in the pics. No nice hubs, no stiff cranks, just no-name stuff with Koxx/Echo/Viz painted on.

Ry (Y) ← The tension is perfect, its not to tight, and not to loose. I am running 18T up front, and 15t rear. The pitbull is the short version, if you wanted to know that to.

picki Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 are all the viz forks come with a poxy bonded steerer? bikes looking kool. at least it has stickers. middleburns all the way... bit of a contadiction of the 'why fix something if it isnt broke', but id like to see them have a go at making something a bit different, if that is possible with cranks. does that even make sence?

Mark W Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Viz will be bringing cranks out in the future, but no info about them atm ← I'm guessing those FSA ones Koxx used to rebadge, seeing as they're easily available to be rebranded.

Jonny Jones Posted April 30, 2005 Report Share Posted April 30, 2005 I think bikes are 50 : 50 in terms of how they look and perform. I think Dan went for this setup as he is the stockest for V!Z and so he was most likely saving the nicest components for stock to sell to consumers (ie us). Not sure if thats the explanation, but the bike does look clean, and by the sounds of things, it rides mint too! So he's got a fair deal going on. Sorry for bumping the thread back up. Jonny.
