Lately I've been thinking about getting an Orange Zero frame for trials. This frame weighs only about 4 lbs! I was just wondering how tough and durable can a 4 lb frame be? If any of you guys or anyone you know has ever riden an Orange Zero i would like to know anything you can tell me about it, strengths? weaknesess? durability? and so on.

Looks nice, wait, damn you already got Dibs.

It looks like it's got pretty strong tubing, but I'm not the best at lokking at a photo like that and being able to tell what it will be like.

i e-mailed the guy selling it, and he said it is extremely strong and can be put through anything, and that he never hesitated, thinking it would brake in any situation

I'd bet a four pound orange would make a fair bit of juice but who want's a genetically altered orange? :p

Isn't it normal in USA to genetically modify everything you guys consume?
