MrJacques Posted December 9, 2011 Share I see that there are quite a few Zula's for sale at the moment (about six of them). Not sure what's up with that seeing that it's said to be such a great bike. I know Chubba is selling his because the Shova is getting all the attention now. Guess there will always be the itch to upgrade as well.

MrJacques Posted December 9, 2011 Share Haha, nice stirring there! It's probably a factor though, people buying a new bike and selling their old one. I see that Mr Morewoods' new venture (Pyga Industries) is starting with a 29er duallie. Wait till 650b get's popular, we will see a flood of 29er sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauloc Posted December 9, 2011 Share Must be a spread of some sort of mad-cow-disease causing all of the sales. That's the only reason I can think of! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted December 9, 2011 Share Don't joke, I'm toying with the idea of building my Zula into a 650B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJacques Posted December 9, 2011 Share Don't joke, I'm toying with the idea of building my Zula into a 650B I've heard of a Shova turned into a 650b, how's the back wheel clearance on the Zula? Should be a very interesting project! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gummibear Posted December 9, 2011 Share Don't joke, I'm toying with the idea of building my Zula into a 650B There is a set of 650B in the classifieds https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/17013-275-inch-american-classic-wheelset-tyres/ Edited December 9, 2011 by gummibear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks okay, but my LBS has some 650B wheels arriving in the new year, so I'll try before I buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dodgius Bastardo Posted December 9, 2011 Share What? You're changing your Zula into a HP financial calculator?! Ke? It took me 3 years to finish Accounting 1B, so I know nothing about calculators. That having been said, I prefer thinking of it as Buffalo's for my bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob7x Posted December 10, 2011 Share Don't joke, I'm toying with the idea of building my Zula into a 650BI have been thinking of doing the exact same thing. But will the rear wheel fit? Won't that silver bridge on the chain stay will get in the way? Hopefully my lbs will get a rear wheel soon, which I can try and fit on the bike.

Iwan Kemp Posted December 10, 2011 Share Must be cause there are so many around. Bikeradar had this to say after riding it: Tester says Justin Loretz: "We saw the Morewood Zula at a bike show last autumn and had an instant feeling that this bike could be a 'new' classic – the reality of the ride has only served to confirm our suspicions. The Zula is a real find. Why do we say that? Well, not many bikes make us get up before dawn just so we can nail a few extra miles – and that's become something of a habit since we've got the Zula."

Airborne Posted December 10, 2011 Share No chance in hell of me selling mine, forced upgrade from Spez Epic Carbon (Due to frame crack), best damn decision I have ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koukie Posted December 11, 2011 Share I sold mine last week, I try not to think to much about it, I already miss mine! Need the cash, and I was not using it at the moment, due to the whole bigger wheel thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted December 12, 2011 Share I think all Zula sellers must be doing so reluctantly. Its still my frame of choice when my totally reliable 2005 RDS Raleigh breaks, if it ever does! And people still get seduced by Giants and Spesh et al multi pivot complex maintenence heavy suspension designs when they could ride a Zula or superlight, have almost zero maintenance issues and a ride that is still raved about. Its all about fashion I say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
