Martin Grainger Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Save up for all the parts or the majority and build it up at one go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 How about saving and buying a t-pro complete?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 If you wan't to run your T-Bird stuff on the Zona, you'll need to get a front freewheel, and a longer (longest) Bottom Bracket. I learnt this from doing (sorta) the same. I had the 24 18 ratio on my t-bird (rear freewheel) and then got some Monty cranks with a fixed 24t chainring on them. I tried to run the same cranks and rear freewheel on the Zip, but it didn't work at all. Because of all the CNC'ing around the rear triangle, the chain rubbed on it because it was being run too high up. But 12t (Rear) and 18 (front freewheel) would be fine. Also, the Zona is a much longer frame compared to the T-Bird, so it will feel strange at first, but because they have a high BB on them, they 'feel' shorter when being ridden. If you have enough money, go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trials Dave Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 i would go for the zona zip.you can run a 22 tooth front ring with a rear freewheel aswell. it is close to the cnc part but if your chain is nice and tight it clears easily and should'nt hit it.
