Dan6061 Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I see you ride mod. What do you have at the moment? If it's a T-Bird, with frames like the Zona Zip, Zoo Python, your current gearing wont be compatable. As the chain will run 'too high up', and will rub on the CNC'd bits. You'll need a front freewheel/rear cassette set-up for that. (Frontfreewheel is cheaper) 12t rear, 18t front is the perfect gearing for Mod - Just incase you are unsure/running rear 18t - front 24t or something. What's actually wrong with your current frame? Don't fix it if it aint broke. Unless you think it's holding you back, I was like this with my old T-Bird. I went to a T-Pro frame, and it felt so much nicer. For £250, you could get: Echo Lite - £219 Zoo Python 2005 - £249 Zona Zip - Grey £159 Silver - £189 T-Pro Frame Kit (Frame, Headset, BB, Bash) - £219 Aorta - £240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Monty Pr - £150 posted, leaves you £100 in the bank, and a lovely frame in the hand. None in uk shops at the mo though, so if your in a rush perhaps the aorta or echo lite would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride or die Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I got a t-pro yesterday and really like it, so i would go for one of them Allen.Nah sorry i dont agree T-pro frames are like £200 now so ... 200 for frame 20 for the guard? = £220If you did decide to do this .. Get a Zip Zona atleast and just slap some python stickers on ..zona frame = £180 Cheap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride or die Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I bought the whole bike 2nd hand only used a handful of times for £200.Well .. If you read the topic properly it says:Frame ..Not full bike ...He wants a new frame not a new bike .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm still not at all keen on the ride of the Python frames, especially after trying one after the Zip. The Zip's shorter stays and slightly higher BB made it feel a whole load more fun to ride - more responsive, more agile, more 'flickable' - compared to the almost lifeless, dead feeling of the Python. It even manuals and bunnyhops really nicely, which is pretty surprising for a 1045mm mod. Couple that with the fact the grey Zip frame is just over £100 less than the Python, and it's a pretty good deal really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onzaallen Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well .. If you read the topic properly it says:Frame ..Not full bike ...He wants a new frame not a new bike ..Yeah well you were saying that the frame was £200 and then the bash for £20, so i just said that i got a whole bike 2nd hand for £200 meaning if he got a frame 2nd hand it would be a lot cheaper than £200 so then he would have a bit of money left over. If you get what i mean?I was really just trying to say that the t-pro is a good frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a Zip Zona atleast and just slap some python stickers on ..zona frame = £180 Cheap!!u you could get a zip but i would rather go for the real thing get a python or a gu only thing with a gu is that chain tugs aint gonna be a fat load of good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 The geometry on the Python is totally different to the Zip though, they just have the same basic frame design ideas.Equally, you can use snail cams on the GU so that's not really a problem...

Hobnobs Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I liked the feel of the pythons, but only for gaps and sidehops. The rest of the time it felt like a mission to ride it, but at the time i wasnt particularly tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
