sam D Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) T-Pros are good bike's Don't get me wrong but it seems so many people have them nowadays. If I was you get some a little better.And by the look of your riding I think you would ride this quite nice. Not sure if you could Budget this..http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2158..I say you get it, It will do you good Hope I've helped...Cheers,Sam.P.s Enjoyed the video, Song was Minta Edited February 25, 2007 by sam D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam D Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Have you considerd the New 07 ZOO! Python or GU? I ride a GU and they are really nice to ride, and a friend of mine has the new python which is also very nice to ride, I would recommend the short version if you were to get any of these frames. Looks to me that you suit short bikes rather than long.Here's a link to the Python...http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2023...Sorry that I hav'nt got a link for the GU, Not sure if TartyBikes sell them. I'm sure they will sell the New GU mod though when it comes out.You can always buy them second hand but make sure you get pictures etc. You don't want to be spending alot of money on a frame to find it batterd when it gets to you. Thats why it's better to buy them brand new from the shop so much safer. So many scamers out there its getting stupid Cheers,Sam.

rider_01 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 thanks for that but i really only have £400 - £450 max to spend on frame parts ect....so i would prefer to buy a full bike and the GU sounds really good to me i really like then and the zoo just blows me away but the GU is the one i like most of allcheers all the same....sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam D Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah GU's are very nice Going to have to agree with you on that Glad I've helped anyway.Cheers,Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider_01 Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 yeh cheers m8 if i was to do a ful build with say a zona zip frame and a pritty good spec how much would i be looking at ?sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam D Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Well I'm not 100% sure but I'd say something around £500-£550 Maby even £600, But it depends if your buying the bike brand new, if your getting all the parts second hand I'd imagine the prices to be a little Lower Oh yeah and the Zona Zip = very good choice in frame, another friend of mine has one, Very Nice Cheers,Sam.

Tango Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I have a Zona Zip frame at the moment they are a wee bit heavy but you dont notice it when your on the bike so I think that the Zona is a good option. But then have you looked at the ZHI you could probaly get one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.loves.boys Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah GU's are very nice Going to have to agree with you on that Glad I've helped anyway.Cheers,Sam.you didnt help.T-pro's a very good bikes.Every year the spec on thems got better to, actually thinking about it its the t-comp you want?thats basically the t-pro with maggies.www.tartybikes.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I got a T-Pro and would highly recommend it - thought I hear they don't come with maggies any more If you can set up V's really well - then I'd say go for it. (This is if the "no-maggie" thing is true)I keep hearing people say that T-Pros are dead popular - but I've only seen about 3 vids of people riding them... so I'm clueless Nice vid by the way Flipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrAd-Tpro Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yeah Tpros are nice begginer/intermediate bikes and judging your video you look like you have achieved alot of stuff you would want a tpro for. I would say go for one better , but then your price range might e a problem. Try F/s and see what stuff goes for in there.(Yeah - great video, how long you been riding?)Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 (edited) You look quite comfy on that! Honestly, I'd say that buying a new bike over is a bit of a waste, it would be much better to add to the one you already have as it would probably work out cheaper and you could tell how different parts affect the bike, so you'd be able to customise your bike more effeciently in the future.Looking at your riding it looks as though you are on quite a low gear, 22 -16/18 (Rear Freewheel)? If so, I think you'd moslty benefit from a new freewheel (18) and a 12 tooth rear cog, as that gear is much nicer to ride on imo as it is much easier to bring the bike up etc.If you really want to build a bike up, a decent technique, although limiting in the parts available, is to go on Tartybikes and add up all the parts you require into the shopping basket. Then you'll have an idea of what the bike will be like and what it'll ride like, and you'll know the cost of it all and which parts sap all of your money etc. Edited February 26, 2007 by ManxTrialSpaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
