TRD Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Limey or Zoo Zoo's are super strong and light. Limey just looks cool. But heard only GREAT things about both frames. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1992 Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I have the zoo and I really don't like it I'm also looking to a new frame, the geo it's not for me but it may suite you I would go for the onza. But the best thing you could do is have a go on both frames (I know this can be difficult) good luck getting your frame mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey One of my mates has a Rockman Slate 2 frame (£449 from tartybikes) and it is proper good. feels great, especially on the back wheel. I would honestly go for that over the onza and zoo mate. At least consider it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Vandart Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 ONZA limey 3 frame for sale here: Mint, as new condition, too long for my liking. Klick for ONZA limey bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Manuel Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Gu Le . Here in Rosario, Argentina there are four Gu Le including mine that will arrive soon. We always test a frame and if it is good we all buy the same one. At the moment I'm riding a Gu TP 2008 that is more or less similar in geo.

JL ! Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Well i would recomend either a ZOO! pirahna or a onza T-rex , you will definately need to try out a couple of frames/bikes . In my opinion if this is your first bike you may want to look at Mod 20inch bikes as theyre easier to learn on been as theyre smaller and easier to throw around . Youre looking at frames you like the look of not the feel of so go and try different frames out like long , short , low bb , high bb etc theyre lots of options and it doesnt always mean looks ... Good luck choosing a frame , David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEELE1 Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have the zoo, I chose it as I wanted a cheap strong frame as I snapped my atomz which was awesome! The ride is good on the zoo, wish it has a slightly higher bb height, I'd like to try the short length to see if I get on better, but if I was to buy another frame I'd be looking at a monty or rockman if your ever in the area your welcome to have a go on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I absolutely LOVE my Limey 3 - considering I've been riding 24" for the past 3 years and I've been able to pretty much hop straight onto the Limey and feel really comfortable with it, I'm more than impressed and would highly recommend it. The geo is similar to the Zoo from what I can remember, so with a comfortable setup you should get on well with either - Consider Matt's Limey frame, or Max-T also has a Zoo for sale, almost brand new, for £150.

Ali C Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 that's if you can get past the looks of the limey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 It's like the lovechild of a herpes-ridden eastern European hooker and the hunchback of Notre Dame... Fortunately when you're on the bike you don't see a very different view to on most other bikes, so it's ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! I saw a video of Neil Tunnicliffe snapping his Zoo, like, proper snapping it. If i was gettin a stock frame it would have to be the Echo Control.

Revolver Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 I saw a video of Neil Tunnicliffe snapping his Zoo, like, proper snapping it. Neil T is a machine and as such gets special rules, which in this case means if he snapped it, it doesn't mean an ordinary rider will.
