Review
Got this bike a couple of months ago and have been riding better ever since. The bike is incredibly stable on the back wheel, and is extremely predictable.....

If you are coming off something like a Planet X, as I did, you'll be pretty happy with how much bigger you can up, gap, and especially surge on this bike.... I was kinda worried that I wouldn't be able to manual it or do much street riding on it, but was pleasantly surprised.... Manuals better than any bike I have ridden.... Nice one ZOO!

Still taking a bit of getting used to though.. with a real high bottom bracket and low front end (with a set of Echo urban forks)... it is definitely a proper trials bike... Not fun to ride to the shops and stuff... but who cares...

Anyways, I reckon if you are looking for a new bike and you don't mind not having a seat, you'll be stoked with one of these things... Bit cheaper than a lot of bikes too...

Strengths
nice looks, not too heavy, good geometry, ok price

Weaknesses
When I bought the bike the brakes were bad in the back, but that's an easy fix. I don't know if the front will break in or what. It requires some major pull.

Review
I love this bike. The way it rides is great. It suited me good since I just came off an Echo team mod. It is strong, I bashed it up and nothng happened. Only complaint is front brake which might be fixable?? We'll see.

Review
i bought this bike from web cyclery about 4 months ago and so far it has been great the bike is almost the same frame as the coustellier ST> Blaise that Jeremy uses. The only problems i have had with it is that the front brake was weak as hell( could not stop on front wheel) so i just put water on the disc then rode around with the break on and it fixed the problem, the geometry is great and looks very professional. you will deffinatly want to invest in some better tires suck as try-all or maxxis. but that is a small price to pay for such a good bike.

Amazing bike to ride. Feels great. Haven't had any problems yet with it.

The rear is completely solid and I can't feel any difference using a brake booster.
