Thats one great looking bike, anodized rocker ruins it though. The all white look works!

Sorry but I think that looks terrible!
I'm not massively keen on the Zero but this one..... Nah, don't like it!

Can't argue with that spec sheet though.. Even the base model is fairly well specced!
I just can't put my finger on why I don't like the way it looks!

No apologies required - different tastes an all that. I bloody love it, but I'm beginning to realise that I have a quite - unique to myself - idea of 'beauty'. I think the Zero is one of the best looking HT's I've ever seen, behind the Stantons, I realise I am in the minority and am quite pleased about it tbf. Won't be seeing many on the trails then. Don't tell my Mrs about what I said about my idea of beauty. Can't find a pic of the lime green but it looks a lot better than the white. |

Looks like it means business!
The rocker needs to be a different colour though.

Saw a picture of this in blue that looks good as well. Much prefer this to their hardtails, and as others said its great value for the spec.

LOVE IT!
Only thing I'd replace? The shock to a Monarch, all black. Would tidy it all up.

LOVE IT! Only thing I'd replace? The shock to a Monarch, all black. Would tidy it all up. Pretty sure the photo above is a pre production test model. The specs state a Monarch Debonair and I know the frame is in at least 2 colours - nukey green or blue - with a black rocker. Gaz, if you don't like it, as an Orange owner, that's great by me! I'd be seriously questioning my taste if you liked it too  |

If I wasn't a suspicious bloke I'd be thinking Pez might be sucking up to Bird by publicising their bikes on here in the hope of a bit of discount on a new HT....
He's seen Jay do it with a wheel builder. 
It's the sort of trick I'd do as well!
(nice bikes though)

Ha Ha no ulterior motive mate, that's on my life, other than the fact I love the bikes they are making and the fact they are a new Brit company making waves. Quite a few on STW have Zero's and all but one love em - the one that didn't love em was just a bit 'meh' about it rather than saying it was shoite. Frames designed and tested by the founders and no catalogue frames - I just love the 'feel' of the brand and thought it worthy of mention. I'll shurrup now. |

Must be nice to be sponsored.. Righto - Mr PTCycles I've seen that name at the bottom of the screen too. It's not me! Same as you mate, I got nothing for recommending them, I just really liked their service and work and thought I'd share. You can contact PT Cycles at www.ptcycles.co.uk or by calling 01386 362 062.

Looking good in those colours. I wish they would bring the Zero's up here for me to test, I did ask but they have no immediate plans to come up this way.

I think I like it !
It's just the angle of the photo makes it look a little strange ..looks like a 29" wheel up front ..with a 14 " wheel at the back !
Would like to see a normal sideways on shot ..it does however make the front end of the bike look really strong !
Great value though ..when your new job as the Regional Manager for the company brings you up this way give me a shout ....

Good shout - if I ask my new Boss - err I mean one of the founders - if they'll do it for us two, would you be up for it?
PS Orange looks great - is that Jay's older brother holding it?
