rickycoleman Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 yeah i saw that too, the thing which got my attention is that its made from 7005 ,same as the new t-mag, worrying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Looks like a beginner bike. I suppose it could be better, but oh well, we dont all have thousands to spend on Zoo's. I started on a t-bird, at the time, i loved it, i suspect i would love that if it was the bike i learned to backhop on. As long as it gets someone into the sport, then good on it.

Janson Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Material has f**k all to do with how the bike/frame rides, works and looks though. (In this price range). It's just another number, to attract buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 7005, right there ^^^ What Janson is saying is that just 'cos it's 7005, it isn't necessarily good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomN Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 lol my my local bike shop sells one for £225. It even has FWW and the Mission ie like the new T-Mag style next to the gimp don't even have FWW. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 (edited) saw a kid on one of these a few months a go.....caught my attention...as it had wide flat bars and 19" rear wheel... i suppose its a good cheap starter....but i think they should rename this...'GIMP' lol (Y) steve Edited May 9, 2005 by StinkEE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manguin2001 Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Sporting Goods > Cycling > BMX Bicycles BMX.. Why has it got shogun written on the picture? Looks quite nice for the price considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebJT Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Sporting Goods > Cycling > BMX Bicycles BMX.. Why has it got shogun written on the picture? Looks quite nice for the price considering. ← Because its made by shogun maybe :S" I personally think it looks like quite a good starter. Yes its made from 7005, but i should think the other stuff on the bike will break before the frame. Especially as younger beginners will be riding it. I rode a 7005 frame for a year before it cracked. Spec seems alright too. Seb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
