Well i would have thought that the monty is alot more comp orientated, while the python, being designed by Craig Lee Scott, is more street orientated. I think the zoo! would be stronger and its obviosly longer, while the monty is shorter and maybe not as strong. I think that at your height that either bike would suit you, i mean your not super tall or short so you could handle the zoo! but the monty would feel more 'flicky'
Hope this helps. ! (N)
