Azonic Steelhead v. on-one gimp v .243
- Thread starter formerly poobah
- Start date
I'd say go for the .243 It's incredibly strong, and, in my opinion, the build and finish quality of the .243 are better than the steelhead. I've seen and ridden both frames, and the .243 has a bit lower frame for better clearance. The on-one is right next to the .243, but the frame angles are geared more toward dirt jumping/urban than they are toward shore riding. Just look at what you want to do most. By the way, how tall are you?
The 243 is a primo street/jump bike (best geo I have ridden, so I bought one!), and I imagine with some longer forks would be pretty decent as a "shore" bike. The Gimp is a bit slacker and has slightly longer chainstays (which I don't like). I haven't ridden a steelhead though.
I rode snowshoe all weekend on my singlespeed 243 with a dj3, it was more fun than I ever could have expected! Anyone wanna buy my DH bike? hehehe.
