I did a search first, but I’m wondering why I never hear anything about the QR Zero Gravity. Preowned bikes has several new full ultegra 2003 Zero Gravity’s for $1,100.00. Although the seat angle is only 75 degrees and the spinergy xaero wheels get horrible reviews, this still seems like a good deal. Thoughts?
I pulled these 2 quotes from slowtwitch:
“This bike goes from QR’s worst value last year (excluding the dreadful Zero Gravity) to QR’s best value this year.”
“The closest thing I saw at the show to compare with the One was QR’s new Zero Gravity. QR has reprised an old model name and placed it onto a bike that is its version of a 'tweener, and it had my favorite cosmetic scheme of any tri bike at the show. But the mostly Ultegra-equipped ZG is not a cheap bike, with a price of $2095. The “old” ZG was a steel bike, tri geometry through and through, and its riders set course records a decade ago that have still never been broken, including the only sub-5 hour women’s ride at IM Canada, the women’s bike course record on the Auckland IM New Zealand course, and I don’t know if anyone ever rode the Zofingen course faster than Zack did when he won the race (in '92?) on a ZG. The new ZG is spec’d like a road race bike and has a 76-degree seat angle. Will the new ZG live up to the heritage of its namesake?”
