Why dont you get the Hydroxx, its only money like you said its only money,if i dont like it ill just get something else.plus cant justify spending that on a hydroxx /sky when il more than likely get bored of it after a couple months anyway.just like the look of the bionic and zhi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 I have a Bionic B5R, and it is just simply the best frame I have ever ridden, after an Echo Control 2009, Onza Limey 3, and Mad Phase 1.2. It is super rigid. Also, I have missed quite a lot of taps and hit the frame rather hard and that that should have harshly dented/killed the frame, but there is absolutely nothing! It is a light TANK bike! The geometry feels awesome, so go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Monty Man Sam on here can get them for £160. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 They're identical weights, geo and price - and they look really simalar too. Just pick one! The downtube on the Zhi looks stunning though so I'd have to go with the Z3R frame.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dd Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I thin B5r looks a bit more solid on the rear end, so you will get a bit better lever feel. But I think both of those frames should feel quite flexy. Maybe a similar geo to the expensive frames but they are a lot more solid, taking hydroxx, black, silver sky or cheaper rockman slate 2 that are prety stiff and solid. Weight differs too. I have ordered slate 2. Should come in a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
