I was at my LBS today for a pair of gloves when I saw this hanging on a workstand:

Tried it out for size in the parking lot and the thing rode pretty well! Components aren't that great, but not too shabby for $549, so I picked it up along w/ the gloves. This will serve as my mess-around Urban/DJer. We'll see what happens when I take it to the jumps tomorrow...

Damn, stores just love impulsive buyers (aka "suckers") like me.

Ya the Zero rocks! I go to school in Philadelphia and I picked one up on employee purchase. Besides the crapiness of the hayes-mech rear brake (might as well ride brakeless) the bike is solid. I was pleasantly surprised at how well damped/stiff the Suntour fork is. Sweet bargain!

it could be me but the headtube looks a little weak, but other than that, sweeet looking bike, i kinda miss my old hardtail

Straight word... for the price my friend got one and digs it too...

the fork is suspect, of coarse, but it's better than a frickin' Stance for shnizzle...


have fun mang!

Hmmm, interesting. I might have to check one of those out, because piecing a bike together is a pain in the ass and expensive.

I can't find it on the Haro website, what's the deal?
Geometry anyone?

Yeah, I know. But that thing has like perfect geometry. Bah we'll see.
I've decided to finish my DH bike before I do anything else for now, but we'll see. If I did get a LOKI it would prob. be a SS with back brake only, instead of that sweet build I posted up before.

Id have to say the Zero has PERFECT geo. I got on it and it just fit... Maybe swap out the rear brake for an avid mech or hfx9 and swap the fork for a Fox.

That would be the plan, pretty much. Only thing is I wanna race some Dual...I guess I could just slap on a front brake and eal with it...

If you need to upgrade the rear brake, you'll have to go mechanical if you keep the SST ORYG detangler on:

Or remove it to add a front or go hydro...at the expense of not being able to do barspins and truckdrivers

Since this will be my fun/mess-around bike, I'll just upgrade the major components as they wear out, and from the looks of it, the Tektro brake lever might be the first to go (the only weak-feeling component on an otherwise solid bike). For the minor stuff now, I'll slap on a pair of ODI or Lizard Skin lock-on grips, and a pair of Easton Flatboy pedals I have laying around.

Nice looking bike for the price...Its always good to have a bike like that so you don't need to worry about breaking expensive stuff or getting it stolen. Never bought a $500 impulse item though. I'd have to save up for something like that

 

[JRuss]

Hmm.. thats a pritty cool looking ride for the $$. Get some action pics and post them under this thread when you get them.

Yeah I was thinkin about puttin a Fox on mine, but then I was like, why would I swap out a fork that feels fine just for bling factor, cuz I'm gonna beat the piss out of it anyway... Maybe if it was a decent trailbike, but it doesn't really make any sense for a bike thats gonna meet the asphalt a couple times an hour. The only thing I did was put a pair of A-Frames on there cuz you know those stock peds. were gonna have zero grip.
