Reinold Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I would say the onza t-lite only because i like mods better than stocks, i don't really know anything about stocks but out of the two stocks i would probably say the onza t-rex is better only because its an onza and i have rode on one before and they feel pretty comfy. If i were you i would be think of getting a monty 221pr 07 or a gu typhoon.cheers, ryno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 onza t lite mate its best to start out on mod IMO.if you were going to get a stock though the onza t rex is the way to go max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 i ride stock so i would say the t-rexthe frame will last for ages without and troubleand most of the parts are really good and you can upgrade later as you need toit really depends what you want to ride mods are really a comp bike as i said go for the t-rex if you want to ride a stock 26" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 you can't really compare mods to stocks in relation to which is better.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Argh what are Saracen thinking putting XO carbon mechs and shifters on their bikes!Thats one of the craziest errors i've seen for a while. Running a £150 rear mech and a WTB hub Madness.Anyways, the T-Rex is a great frame for upgrading, i'd say Rex that mothertrucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan c Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 i personally would get the t-rex. however , if you want to go mod then the t-lite would be brill. i strongly recommend you do not buy the saracen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 I'm a mod man myself, so the t-lite . Easier than stock, lighter, and bigger back tyres so easier to balance i find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials wannabe Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 id choose the t rex because i prefer stock than mod and its clearly better than the saracen in my point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
