jonny_smith Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Your better off with a stock becasue unlike the mods they have gear (unless you buy the adamants, echo etc that have just single spedd) on my t-rex i've got 8 gears and its mint because i can ride places then stick it in a easy gear for trials then ride home again.

dan the trials man Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 i ride a zoo pitbull single speed i disagree with you i went on my mates t-rex and the gears did not make much diffrence they are not as they are mountain bike gears wear a single speed is so diffrent to a geard bike it doesnt matter what you get i would recomend a single speed you have no draler to smash up no gears to skip,when you are doing huge drops and gapes in the street the last thing you want is a gear to skip i would only get a geared bike if you are only going to do natrual but eaven then vincent hermance and most of the natrual champs ride single speed .get any 26inch echo,zoo,gu,koxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 if your wanting a street bike you should be looking for a short bike with low bb rise, but the bar and stem set up can change the bike alot to make a bike more streety. i have a mate with a pitbull and his easton bars and short hope stem make it a more streety bike for bunny hops ect. i cant really see how you can have a street bike come mountain really. may be you should get a custom made iolo frame and then you can have it to your specifications to meet what you are wanting to use it for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
