-Jax- Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 What do you think are best?I like Echo frames, they seem to be rather strong and reliable.Yet, ZOO! frames are light and have a good geometry.This is just my opinion what do you think?Thanks, -Jax- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hmm, As i have had the long Echo Team and now have a short Python and have rode both the short Echo and long Python also, i can safely say i prefer the short python. Light in weight, very flickable, strong as a rock. Just ride's so damn nice, Although the short Team does ride exceptionally nice also i must admit but, in the long run i prefer the short python.

RR_Trials Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well personally i think that the zoo is a very nice bike and i love the shape and it is incredibly light, you are so lucky to have a choice. I was wondering if you were open to other sugestions. I'm not shore if your aware but the zona zip is basically the same as the zoo but its slightly heavier but stronger I say that it would be a good choice for you as you can get round about £30 change from £200 witch is a big lot more savings made than if you brought a zoo. With all that spare money you could get some decent extra parts.I hope you found my comment helpful Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike!!!Oh JAX shouldn't you get a bike before you start getting frames? or do you have a bike now? sorry if i'm wrong!i'll let you kick me in the teeth if i'm wrong!

stiffnips Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) I would go for a zoo! they seem alot stronger than the echo, a friend of mine bought an echo around crimbo an has two nasty dents already, i also like the zona as its cheaper may be the best option, some people say the zona is heavy but unless your about 4 foot and have no muscles what so ever it wont make any difference so don't be put off.Nick.

-Jax- Posted January 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) Hehehe, I'm afraid you are wrong, i am not getting a new fame at all i was just wondering because, i see allot of people giving props to echo, and zoo for there fames, and was wondering which is best.]Thanks, -Jax- Edited January 17, 2006 by -Jax- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 hi there,i have ridden all of the echo, GU and zoo frames and from what i have ridden the long zoo (which i have) and the the long Gu typhoon ride the nicest, they all seem to be very strong this is probally due to them being made out of U6 aluminium. The zona zip on the other hand is really nothing like the python, it is alot heavy and i doubt it is stronger because U6 aluminium seems to be the strongest matrerial to make a trials bike from, how many frames form Deng have snapped? ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty rider Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Hi, I have ridden both and Personally i would go for the CLS ZOO...The reasons for this are because:1. The Geometry is very good.2. The Frame is very Strong and Light.3. Because of the Geometry, The Top Tube is very low there for (Very good for Sidehops) 4. The Frame is CNC Machined between the Seatstays and covers almost half their length increasing braking performance and stiffness there for you will not need a brake booster.5. The whole Frame is very Stiff.6. It has a very good Length of (1045mm Wheelbase)7. This Frame is only £285 (including Next Day Delivery) Which i think is Extreamly cheep. Overall i would say this Frame is the best 20" Street Frame on the market. Cheers Phil Edited January 18, 2006 by monty rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
