matthewholdsworth Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 if ur wanting streety look to pashley 26ghz, leeson 660 or 609 (24inch), curtis (again they do a 24 inch model) but then again anything can be used on street, but the frames above are short snappy and lovely british handmade beasts!

oli007 Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 If your after a streety bike go for steel if you can because the fatigue life is far superior to aluminium and steel tends to bend and dent instead of crack and snap like aluminium can. If you ever manage to crack a steel frame it is alot easier to weld back to its original strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayneone Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Whats the onza zoot like? is it a streety 24" how does a 24" feel? anyone care to comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 the echo pure is a trials frame, but the 1060 with a short stem, rides great for street :) don't make them any more thats why i said a 2nd hand one :) the zoot looks pretty good actually the geo looks decent. I think it comes with a trials bar on it, so put a decent riser bar on it and you will be away. front end looks quite low, so you may need a higher stem. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
