Brockway Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) How'd you work that one out?Just the fact its so long, and others who have commented on the length of the top tube.. *I'll re-phrase... Its better suited for people over 6ft? i suppose its also down to personal prefrencee, i like prefer a longer frame... and im quite tall (6ft 1" i think) but i guess some shorter people might also prefer a long frame What frame you riding?

Ben John-Hynes Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not really. I see what you're saying, but it's all down to personal preference. I had a mate who was real short and rode one. He managed ok.But the bikes are real heavy, use pretty shite parts and are generally not very nice to ride.

Brockway Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Coolio but would you recomend aniting else in that price rangeHmm, not really mate, im not the sort of person to ask, all i know is the kabuki is pretty good for the money.. i got mine 2nd hand for £240 only 2 mounths old, and it wasmint... i haven't had a problem with it yet It seems to be pretty dam strong, and ive bough some new parts for it such as new gearing and new hydralic rear brake You could look through the for sale sections on this site... you can get some pretty good deals on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted November 26, 2009 Report Share Posted November 26, 2009 Coolio but would you recomend aniting else in that price rangeAnything Onza is always a great place to start.26"http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=47http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=47Or 20"http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=10http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=10You have to remember you'll get alot more for your money buying second hand.

And second, if the answer to part 1 was yes, do you ever expect anyone to validate you when you post like this? On another note, don't go for the diamondback, go for an onza!

RazGman Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 ive just got a onza hitman pretty much standerd but with trial tec stem and ea30 bars, i put on a spare vee riser off my old tvee, the guy got it in may and said he had used it 4 times tops and i only give 140, im pretty new to trials but my tvee was really not for me I come from a mtb background so 26" is for me !only had it since 6 pm and already pedal kicking and I couldnt do that on my 20" so just keep your eye out for a good deal second hand if its your first bike more for you money, with my change i can buy more components now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordMersey Posted November 27, 2009 Report Share Posted November 27, 2009 You can easily get kubukis cheaper than that and the hubs die so easily also the gear is pritty high i would recomend another bike but its just not to my taste if im honest.

Rich Hill Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I know, but i was quoting for the fact you said the bikes are 'real heavy, use pretty shite parts and are generally not very nice to ride' and agreeing with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
