street trials rider Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 i'm 6' 2" and ride a curtis with a 1000 wheelbase :P length doesnt really matter, it just depends what you get used to, it might feel totally strange at first, but you'll get used to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Fair enough, I quoted that other guy 'cos I was asking him :lol: But yeah, it should feel OK really (your Zona, that is). They ride super nice, and they're just generally good anyway, so I don't think you'd have much of a problem with it :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flower Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 right this was my old bike blah blah blah, is got viz curve forks on it and yes the wheel base is 1450 just incase you didnt know when using a tape measure you have to start at 0mm, not at 450mm as you must have done to get that bloody stupid number. people there is a special person on this forum. Now lets treat him kindly, and dont make fun of him, as he is special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
