Dan6061 Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Bike: Zona Zip Type: Mod - Mainly street, pretty good for natural... Pros: Built up to how I want and like it Cons: Bit heavy...But doesn't bother me What I'd Change: Nothing at the moment. perfect Reccomend? Yeah I would. From starting off on an '03 T-Bird, then upgrading to a good spec' T-Pro, to my Zona now, It's a big change. They ride perfectly for me. The length of them takes some getting used to, but the high BB makes up for it. It stays on the backwheel so easily! They are a bit heavy, but they don't feel it when you ride them!

Yes, id reconmend it to any bigginer, but if you are just upgrading the frame, id reconmend the Zona Zip, as they are 3 times better than a T-pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
