Ah, yes. MBUK underestimated it a little. £539. If front disk and a black fork interest you, £589.
You know, this might get me in trouble...
EDIT: Grrrrr
-
It has been possible for a little while now. The main sticking point was that the blue forks hadn't arrived. We did a disk front brake version for a bit more using the black Smart Guys, but this was the first occasion I had to take a proper photo - I've been busy, what can I say?

My custom 24in wheeled bike was 71.5 +20mm with a 365mm chainstays and a 1065mm wheelbase. Unfortunately I snapped the chainstay so am currently stuck with a Koxx 1100. I had hoped that the Zoot had a more UCI like geometry. Guess I'll be looking elsewhere...
I've never had a custom bike, must be nice to be able to afford one...
I remember reading in the early arguments that this bike was 24" but didn't look "dirt" enough. I'm not sure now if people are saying the geometry is right but not the look, or are both the look AND the geometry "wrong".
Joking aside, it's impossible to make a bike that everyone will like. Some people do already have Zoots so you will have to find them and ask them for a ride. If you still haven't seen one, it looks like this:

dem@onza.com would get deleted as junk before I even saw it...

We might be able to sort you out. You will need an excellent free photo program I came across recently, called Photofiltre (Webpage Here). Try this now with any photo you have...
1. open photo in program
2. use the menu, go to Adjust -> Hue/Saturation
3. move the hue slider, let go and wait for the magic to happen. I think you can quite easily get to a blue that you like.
It's a nice program, you can do the colour adjustments in it too.
Whether I have a Zona logo as a picture I do not know

On the original drawing and on the frame, the chainstay length is 380mm and the BB rise is 35mm. The length of the bike is 1040 and the head angle is 73°.
Given all that, can you tell what the bike is like to ride :P ?
It's like one of those"Mr Green lives next door to the man with red hair" puzzles.

I bought my last memory card from http://www.offtek.co.uk/. Transcend fast SD.
You didn't say what kind of memory card it was you wanted.
EBuyer doesn't like anybody, but I do sometimes manage to buy stuff off them.

We've said it before: we'd love to get last years footage back. Someone said they'd do it, and we haven't heard from him since, except a little sampler CD he sent... you know who you are, if you're on here.
EDIT: this year our organiser got someone in specially to do it. Heaven knows what will happen, but I think the editing is finished.

I suspect what the man's after is whether he might be able to use it as a general purpose MTB as well...
You can't. Some people have asked for Raptors with long seatposts so they can do that. We have a couple of objections:
1. The seatclamp ain't strong enough (probably) for sitting on the seat while it's stuck out on a post.
2. If you do, it will bend and if you persist it can break and...
3. You'll end up with 23.4mm (I think) of goodness where you definitely weren't expecting it. It might be sharp, too.
The Woodstock can take a normal post and seat if you want, but it's a bit twitchy as a mountainbike.
On the other hand, if you only meant, can you sit on it as it is, yes you can, it's fine for that but just won't be comfy for long periods at a time.
-
Or if you phone up and ask nicely, you MIGHT be able to buy the magenta one.
Mind you, there is only one.
No promises though. I finally saw the MBUK article. I'm not sure why they turned it grey.
-
It doesn't say anything of the sort. <_<
and a bigger one of the whole frame
They'll only be available as complete bikes until the end of November when we hope the rest will arrive.
-
I knew you preferred the magenta. This is the final colour. It takes normal headsets, not integrated - the silverness you can see are the reinforcing rings.
-
Yes, phone Supercycles. They will need to know: sealed bearing or open bearing, screw-in or splined.

Here's the full answer for people who haven't taken off the axle yet.
1. Pull off the covers on either end
2. Tap the axle with a hammer from the drive side to the non-drive side. Theres a collar on the axle so it will push out the bearing. And it won't tap out if you try it in the opposite direction.
3. Once you have the axle out, look inside from the non-drive side with a torch. It might help. If you can see the start of a very coarse thread you will need to turn it in one direction, if not the other.
The reason is that, if you can see the thread, it is a screw-in freehub, tightened by pedalling action. If not, then it will be a splined freehub which is attached differently.
4. You will need a 12mm allen key. Put the short end in a vice, long end sticking vertically upwards. Position the wheel so the long end goes in the non-drive side and engages in the hole at the backside of the freehub.
(a)If the freehub is the screw-in type, you need to turn the wheel CLOCKWISE, looking down on the drive side.
(b)If the freehub is the splined type, there is a bolt inside the hub (with a hole through it for a 12mm allen key through it) tightened to hold the freehub on. If you have this, you will need to turn the wheel ANTI-CLOCKWISE, looking down on the drive side. The freehub will slide out on its splines as you continue turning.
It helps to leave the inflated tyre on so you have something comfortable to grab onto.
Edit: I have photos at work of the freehubs and I'll post them tomorrow so you can see what I mean.

I mean since it says 400mm long 24"fork could i run my 400mm 26" echo fork on the zoot if I run a disk
If you really want to, but Fly Guys come with a disc mount and the original spec was with a disc front hub, so all you would need would be the brake. I don't know if that's still true. I'll check tomorrow.

in a topic a while ago some info was about some in by christmas! nothing to be sure, as for colours theres a dark grey! but there may be more...
!aNT!
Nope, no dark grey. Metallic blue. Yep, in by Christmas
nice also will there be a posibillity of getting one over to canada? also does that mean the forks still the same length as a stock just the mounts move down?
We can send stuff to Canada. The forks are 24" forks, not just 26" forks with differently placed mounts. You would not be able to fit a 26" into this. Check the image that was already posted, here

They never send us the bloody magazine. Thanks for typing it out.
I'm a bit surprised they think it'll cost that. It is, as they quite happily point out, spookily like a 24" version of the T-Rex. We have NO FINAL IDEA about the price but I have been telling people that ask that it will cost around the same price as the T-Rex spec 1, at £499. I think it might be slightly more than that as it has Fly Guys and one or two other small improvements, but we'll see.
For those of you that don't like purple, you're safe. It is going to be a very dark metallic blue (assuming they get the colour that I imagine it will be in my head). It will be some sort of metallic blue, so again I'll just have to wait and see.

think about the way a freewheel spins when ur coasting, then think about the way it would loosen, see my point?
You need to think about what would happen if the lockring were prevented from moving (if it stayed with the chain) - would it unscrew or tighten with the movement of the bike.
I think:
ON A BMX - You're pelting down a hill, the chain and teeth on freewheel stay where they are, the lockring, if it made contact with the outer part of the freewheel, would be forced anticlockwise. So the lockring has an anticlockwise thread and is tightened by such contact.
ON A FRONT FREEWHEEL ARRANGEMENT:
Especially with the chain tight, the bit with the teeth on comes into contact with the lockring and unscrews it because it's the opposite way round to the BMX
The Tensile freewheel will be available in front and rear versions. Difference as discussed.
EDIT:
i'll do a drawing if you want me to explain ^_^Go on, then. <_<

Take the price of the your t-pro frame, half it, and thats how much you get off the price of another frame in the onza range. This is however subject to the t-pro getting sent back and being checked over.
One small observation: if you want a cheaper frame than the one you have, then the best you can expect is the cheaper frame at half price. We need the frame back for certain. The original receipt would speed things along a bit, too. Postage is extra, unless you fancy a trip to sunny Nottingham...

I have just downloaded and installed quicktime alternative from the page you have linked to and it plays all my other .mov files fine but not this one! :ermm:
Help?
Works for me.
Can't help, except to wonder if you have Windows XP, because I notice that the Windows 98 etc version is 1.51 versus 1.62 for XP/2000. Don't know if that makes a difference because it plays fine here... try 1.62 if you only downloaded the other.
-
I've just had to download the latest Quicktime Alternative to play it.
That looks brutal. I understand there are several video cameras on the go, so maybe a DVD will happen this year. We don't even have last years tapes at present. Tell that Ben to send them back...
-
EDIT: Sod it, I didn't realise I'd posted here :ermm: . See below.

Check the museum if you want to, but the T-Pro always had a 19" rear wheel.
I agree with those above who have said that you will need a new headset and a new bash. Not sure about the bottom bracket. Try it and see when you get the new frame.
