kb_trialer Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 hi all next year i am going to buy a new 20" frame and start adding more and more bit to it so i have a totally unique bike but im not sure what frame to go for, i like the look of the zoo's and the onza t-mag 2002 or the latest t-mag. what one do you think would be the best to have as a frame for a unique bike? thanks keith (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 How can you have a 'unique' bike with a mass-produced frame and components? (Y) Seriously, bikes tend to have similar components 'cos they really are the best ones available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipkickbs Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Get a penny farthing........ I don't think you should really worry about having a unique bike, its not really going to help you get that extra inch on a sidehop or whatever. I would just worry about getting the best frame and components you can afford. If you want to personalize your bike then just put coloured rim tape or anodized parts on.

kb_trialer Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 ok it wont be a unique bike then but what do you think would be the best frame out of the t-mag 02, t-mag 06 or the zoo python??? keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, contradiction? Anyways, the T-Mag '02 frame's not worth getting. Out of the new T-Mag and the Zoo it's hard to say. I didn't really like either of the frames much, to be honest with you. My Zip rode way nicer than both the CLS and the T-Mag, but hey - your call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word to Mark, The zip is wayyyyy Nicer to ride, very very nice on the rear wheel, I have to say i prefer it to my stock right now :ermm: It's down to you, But there aren't many zips around at the moment anyway.

trialswannabe Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 (edited) if you want unique why not buy a hi end frame(monsterboy,gu,xtp,221 or some along those lines) and then strip the paint. then repaint it with flames or something . then add the companys decals to it.

Rob Thomson Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Erm, contradiction? Sarcasm?? Anyhoo, i reckon you shoudl have 1 long pair of tubes running from the head tube to the dropouts...Just 2 long poles, then wodge a BB sheel, downtube and some chainstays on... Or you could take a leaf out of Ellsworth's book and have the 1 pieces chain and seat stays, just 1 tube bent at the dropouts... That means you would only need like 5 tubes (Y) (This could be classed as a piss Take before anyway has a go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
