AgreedI agree,the fork and shock on that bike are hot.
Frame, not so much.
Yeah. The headtube's a little dated.I agree,the fork and shock on that bike are hot.

That's true, 1.5 is the only way to goYeah. The headtube's a little dated.
that's a bad thing? low top tube, vertical seat tube, those aren't bad things...Those tubes are too straight.
Well, here's the thing as a multiple-turner owner. Look at the link, it looks like it doesn't tapers towards the shock. On nearly every bike I've owned with a link that requires a big long shock bolt/pin, I've bent said pin. It simply allows too much leverage to be imparted and it eventually bends. Then there's the bearings, which for a limited rotation application are simply not all that great of an idea, the full contact journal bearings (bushings) that turner uses allow for much more lateral rigidity than a bearing system, and while needle and tapered bearings may at least get somewhat comparable (still not nearly as much contact area) lateral rigidity, they are very hard to use in these applications and not practical. But hey, off-the shelf ball bearings are cheaper right?, disregarding the pitting issues and other reasons why they are a poor choice. Then there's the asym chainstays to prevent interference issues. I don't know if the current turners have this, but on mine the seat-tube is tapered and while a bit hard to detect with the naked eye, the ID/OD is bigger towards the BB and smaller at the seatpost. Notice the tubing bends at the HT area to allow for fork clearance as well.So let me get this straight...

and it looks like the zumbi is available with a tapered headtube.
No hydroforming, no care.that's a bad thing? low top tube, vertical seat tube, those aren't bad things...
Are you serious?No hydroforming, no care.
Get with the times, bud.
Gosh.
That was their UK distributor, not Zumbi themselves.Didt Zumbi rip off and burn a load of team racers a couple of years ago?
I wouldnt support a manufacturer that did that.
Itz teh similur to teh other biek dw makes. Buuuurn it!damn gina, i didn't expect people to get so butthurt over a frame not made by our friends in taiwan that didn't have something to do with the e13 crew.
Sorry, I'll only post hype about companies that require a two year deposit to sell you a functional frame...
only because it has an engine and you can make firewood with it.Hottest bike in this thread.
No splatter guard = not serious zombie rig.And nut zombies without slowing down.
