rudirudirudirudirudi Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 okay. my mate has a mission prodigy. he wants too get another frame-zona zip. if he buys the frame he will have no money too upgrade parts that he needs. so he will be putting bb thats on its way out, the huge front cog thing as standard on most onzas, brake which is in need of pads fasttt as his brake keeps slipping. i suggested he gets a onza t lite frame because it would leave him with enough money to upgrade these parts and therefor end up with an ok bike. the way i see it, is that its totally pointless getin a zip and putting crappy parts on it and not having a brake that holds. he thinks that t lites are crap and i dont think there that bad. he wont take my advice and is pissin me off waiting for him to waste his money. what dyo think he should do?? hes a new member here so he can read this. its not just for me . lol cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 t-lite, no contest really! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Stay with the Mission and save up for a while then buy a Zona when the time is right. If you buy a t-lite now you'll be kicking yourself later when you really wanted that Zona. Ive got a Zona at the moment and love it- My mates t-lite is stupidly light but very short , so I'd say go for the one that suits you best, lenghtwise.

Simpson Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 how much is the t-lite like 110? T-lites are immense in my opionon i mean ive never owned one, but was a lot nicer for me than longer mods... i hate long mods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 T-lite. It's and incredibly nice frame and I really like it. Feels nice and short and flicky, also very light. You could have a look on ebay for the one that came with tensiles ect.-Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 The "T" stands for "Too" in my opinion. (Too-Lite)They are okay bikes, but are a bit dated and weak in my opinion.It all depends on the riding, if he wants a bike that is going to last him then get the Zona, if he's a begginer and won't do nothing too big then get the T-Lite.I mean, my mate has a T-Lite, but he has dented it so easily, I've even got a clip of him denting it.

Gavyn. Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 how much could he get the t-lite for, and is it him whos after my zona, or you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 I rekon you should go for the t-lite.....Had a look on ebay to see if that supercycles deal was still on where you get frame, BB and cranks for £100 but couldn't find it.However, a mate of mine rang up onza and somehow he is getting a new t-lite frame for £125? don't quite understand how he's doing it seen as onza aren't actual dealers..... worth a try anyway!!
