jackamory Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I would say a python because their really nice bikes and Ive heard lots of bad things about the gu short. Its all about your own opinion really see if you can arrange a ride and have a go on each of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it muddled up mate the GU long is the bad one well has got a reputation, but ether of the frames would be good i'd be chuffed with any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial-biker-ryan Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Right.. you say you like zoo pythons.. good choice there the sex, but at 1040mm there waaaaayyy long..And i really like short bikes. so i have got a brand spanking new Zhi ZM1 at home... there real nice... there designed around a python and are stong and stupididly light, And at 1015mm there short to.. ryan...

totally steaming!! Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 well i ride a gu long and it is amazing. It is up to you, but i would personally go for the gu as i have never heard of a snapped one and they ride amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willwithashton Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Ive just bought a new frame and have gone with the python, i find it probably the best frame in the price range and beats the gu anyday.will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhups Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Wait for a bit the are redesigning the GU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie.C Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I personally prefer a Gu to the python as my road great and i progressed well on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste_racca Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) There both good bikes but i would probably get the Gu as it is lighter and runs nicer than the Zoo!. But if you wern't going to get one of them then i would get the Zhi Zm1 because it looks nice, rides nice and is really light.

Danny Swindlehurst Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 I have had both of those bikes i am on the long 2007 zoo python at the moment. I would proberly stick with the short gu its light ,very flicky, and very manuverable, as for the short zoo depends what year really.2005 short zoo would be the best option! Because it will have the same sort of geo as the gu but a lower bb witch would proberly make your side hop tucks much bigger etc but with the slightly longer chain stay it would mean it would be harder to keep on the back end. But the 2007 will have the looks over both of them but be slighty heavier than the 2005 version.danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
