[ronan_zj]

Sorry guys, I dont have any data of this bike at the moment. I think i will update it soon, if possible.

[lucky13]

Dig it.

[Chris]

Not that exciting... but I like the color!

[lucky13]

zS-2? I'd like a stock that resembles that frame.

[AgrAde]

i dig.

[Juhan]

very incredibly sexy.

[fatcat]

don`t like it so much as zm-1, looks like old levelboss or t-pro.:ugh:
and that white colour is ugly, very dissopointment:rant:

[ronan_zj]

hahhaha, this was colored by spary can, not by machine. we just checked what color was good lookin

[Darren]

looks good. how are you supposed to tension your chain?

[TTownJon]

looks good. how are you supposed to tension your chain?

yeah... dropouts definitely seem short...

[rocpyro]

I like the dropouts. Use a halflink maybe?:dunno: hehehe.

[zealot_53]

I like the colour, but the frame just looks like a generic trials frame. What's that thing under the bb yoke?

It is a mod bike, they put bashplates on some of them...

[Henri]

I like it, looks really simple and clean.

[ronan_zj]

Using snail chain tensioner.

[thetart20]

Sexual... that's just how a frame should be! Neat, simple...

[xALmoN]

i like white bikes, nice looking frame.

[mcdub]

Nice A2 mod.

[Monty99]

:eek3:

my bad. just haven't seen mod bikes without the plate attached :o

[TTownJon]

Using snail chain tensioner.
The dropouts just seem too short to get reasonable chain tension with different gear ratios and chain ring sizes.

maybe its an optical illusion... I just know that on my echo team mod with dropouts something like twice that long I still had to tweek it a bit to get the right amount of chain tension.

edit: and "OMG it looks like all the other bikes out there?!" who cares... if it is strong stiff and light there is no need to put all sorts of CNC junk on there. Maybe Zhi bikes puts more time into actually TESTING there bikes rather than putting all sorts of fancy-schmancy doodads on their frames. If the frame sucks I will eat my words, but there is no need to write it off as a "levelboss or T-bird" just yet...

[trialsin usa]

we should start to see these arrive sometime first couple weeks of August...

[Patrick]

Tim,
Do you have the geo yet? Anyone ridden one? What about pricing?

[Sir_Crackien]

it just seems like we never really saw the first gen. zhi mod frame in the states. also zhi should really look into making 2 sizez of the frame. i probibly would have bough one if it wasn't so short (i'm 6'5")

[ronan_zj]

yea, he has to make 2 different size for us.

[trialsin usa]

geo to be the same as before........ going from memory here (so don't carve it in stone).... 365mm chainstays.... wheelbase length of 1005. Chain stays are a little shorter than other similar wheelbase bikes, making top tube slightly longer than comparitives.

I am trying to get them to do 1010mm wheel base. The feedback from the people who have gotten Monty 221PR and 221TI mods has been all raves. Sorry....but don't think there is a mod frame from them for 6'4" people in the offing......... yet.....

[ronan_zj]

he will make long WB soon, at least i know for stock bike.

[digo]

ZHI ZM-2 from Hungary. It is not mine, but I will also build one soon.
