ARSE! Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) I would go for the GU as they are good frames and evrything on your koxx sould fit. I dont know about the t-comp as i havent heard much about them but I do know you will need a new headset. There is also the option of the zona zip which if is anything like the zoo it will be amazing and nothing new will be needed.

Mark W Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 To be honest with you, I really didn't like the T-Comp frame at all. I've seen some of the Spanish guys who ride for Onza ride the T-Master which shares the same geometry but weighs a little more, and they've ridden them pretty well so I guess they've got potential - it's just that they felt like shit to me when I had a go. Like an X-Lite, only a bit weirder, and I'm not mad-keen on X-Lites.The GU and the Zip have fairly similar geometry though; the Zip's just got a slightly longer front end (by 10mm or so). Chainstay length and BB rise is nearly identical though So yeah, think of it as a less-pretty (if you dig the GU's looks), cheaper version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bite me Posted January 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 thanks man, im deffinatley swaying toward the gu cos i LOVE the look of it, dan ko my mate had a prototype viz frame and it was the same thing basically and it looks SO DAMN GOOD so i think ill save a bit and just ride well smooth on my koxx i think it would be good 4 me 2 smooth everything out and remove the kinks from my riding and not try anything new or big until i get my new framecheerskeep the comments coming!!!!

mike Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 The T-Comp is really 'snappy happy' as it's really light, and it doesn't look too nice either, personally i'd wait for the new shipment of Zona's to come in, or i'm selling a mission So get the zona mate, or perhaps another levelboss.Mike!!!
