The Dude Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 thinking of going mod, but it would have to be a streety mod, if one exists. my best guess is leeson. would an echo team with short stem, monty bars and echo forks work? si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCircus Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) Or. Buy a Leeson 609. Best of both worlds! Plus they look like the sexiest bikes in the world. ever. I love you leeson. ;) EDIT: Ah....you ride a 24"......I will get my coat Edited April 11, 2005 by TheCircus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love you leeson. :D EDIT: Ah....you ride a 24"......I will get my coat ← i was thinking that, but after snapping an ET, and making a 24" PX the style is getting a little dull. i do agree that they are one of the sexiest going, beaten only by the curtis T24. monty 221ti. the only mod to be backflipped :D ← that would be the rider, not the bike, yet i do like the ride, but find it a little too snappy on the back wheel. Woah, Si going mod, no way ;) ← just a thaught at the moment, but it could be interesting to see how far i can fly on a cheaters bike. im liking the look of the python. any got a short python with monty bar and stem? can you bunny hop it?

SQuiT-man Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Monty 221 ti definately. Ive just got one, did have a tpro (similar chainstay length and wheelbase to an echo team short), which I put a stock stem on to make it more bmxy/streety, and I have to say, even with the longest and lowest bar and stem I could get, it manuals really really nicely, and 360s have become a thing of the past.lol. Although it is a comp-orientated frame, it does ride street rather nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team forks are ok, Fall Guys could be more your kinda thing though? P.S. Going to mod wont make you fly any higher, you'll still land like a sack of sh*t :D Deal with it. Olly.

Michael Hardman Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I would decribe my riding as very streety im sure people with back that up, and I fin d my echo team fine even though its about 1050 in wheelbase I run a short stem, cut down bars. The short chainstays really help. Im no giant either at 5,6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I freakin' love my T-Pro for street. I used to hate street, but then I suddenly got well into it. For fufanus and tyre taps, it's really nice for kinda landing it then scooping it up; for tyre taps up walls (so you like do the 180 spin up the wall, touch the back tyre on the wall then 180 spin off the top of the wall back to the floor), it's super nice; bunnyhops ultra well (got 50" to back wheel); manuals pretty damn nice with a higher rise bar and stem. It's a super nice frame for everything, really. Plus it's only about £170 for the frame only, which isn't really bad, to be fair. If you're riding street you're going to be putting a lot of strain through it, so it'll be around £80 for the crash replacement, which isn't too shabby ;) Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilite Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 (edited) i was thinking that, but after snapping an ET, and making a 24" PX the style is getting a little dull. ← OT: What frame did you use for that? I'd say the Python would do it, that's the best option I can think of. Or maybe the Revell? I only rode it briefly, and am unsure on the geom, but it just sprung to mind. Feel free to shout me down for it :"> Blasphemous suggestion; Considered maybe keeping a stock bike and purchasing a BMX for your little wheeled street fantasies? I wouldn't say mod makes it any easier to hop far, so that may be a wasted venture, and BMX is about as 20" street as I can think of if you leave out the gappage.

Mark W Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 For all street apart from grinds (which I hate and haven't really learnt on street anyway), I feel way happier on my T-Pro than my Federal, for some reason. Especially with hops to manual; I think it's just the reassurance of a slightly grabbier back brake. As soon as we go to trails or a skatepark though, there's no question (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 You found the T-Pro long? (N) Bloody hell! Mine's only 1000mm! That's the only side-on pic I could find of my bike, but you can see I've got straight-blade forks on, so I guess that might have something to do with it...

Sam Nichols Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 It's all very well people talking about doing street on a mod... But quite frankly I don't believe it.. how come I've never seen any of this in videos? All I ever see is people riding mods on urban terrain, but I don't see any actual STREET riding. Vid/pics please? (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Steve-A's videos. But haven't we gone over this tediously before? If I had a decent video camera I'd happily take pics of it, but frankly, whether you "believe it" or not doesn't really mean dick all.

Brian Bleech Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) If I had the cash I would be tempted to try a to build streety mod. It would be interesting. Have been thinking about it this week... around 1000 - 1010 wheelbase, It needs to be short and flicky. Standard mod back end tightish head angle, maybe even a bmx inspired 74.5 :) lower rise stem, with standard risers (EA70s, etc) and one thing I have been thinking of is 20" rear wheel, with a more 'normal' sized tyre in it would be interesting Mike Steve-A's videos. But haven't we gone over this tediously before? yes we have gone over this before (N) good video too though (Y) Edited April 12, 2005 by leedstrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a T-Master stem and a ZOO! stem; the ZOO! being significantly lower. Good bye manuals, good bye bunnyhops, good bye everything. As soon as I put the T-Master back on everything's sexy (N) Saying that, I prefer higher rise bars on my BMX too, so maybe that's just me... But yeah, super low front end would ride like a dog for street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
