the Azonic KZ-1

Forward to 2003
My good friend Benjie offered his old Azonic KZ-1 frame, along with a set of Magura HS33's and other choice parts. After fitting the replacement Marzocchi MX-Pro, I also upgraded the tires, wheelset and drivetrain. This was the same make and model used by our national team, and climbed like a billygoat. Problem was, being an aluminum frame, it was really harsh on rocky descents, and my back was paying the price for it.
