yeah, i know, but he could have got it second/third hand off someone. I remember, the person I sold mine to originally soon chucked it on ebay, and then god knows what happened to it. could be mine after all just post up some big pics

Could it be could it be.... my old short Python? I miss that old girl Hmm, i remember sticking on the 'Python' stickers, which weren't standard on the 2005 models. Argh, Take a pic showing the full downtube, and i'll be able to tell if it was mine . There was one specific little unique scuff i remember putting on it. sounds petty doesn't it? Heh, i'm just curious as to where my oldie's gone

Porquoi? Looks good though, I'm sure it rides great too! enjoy

I was going to mention some of those, but Danny got there first I'm using a Profile on the rear, and true the engagement doesn't feel as 'direct' as a front freewheel would when I remember using one oh so long ago. Aside from what Danny said, by having FFW, there's also the plus side of: -no rear hub internals to faff about and service with, which can be pretty difficult -freewheel up front is the only thing needing service, but this tends to be less needed if you get me? ENOs, Tensiles, and ACS all seem to require less servicing when compared to a Profile or King hub. And even when you do service a freewheel, since everything is so much bigger inside, it does make life a bit easier with all the servicing. Don't Kings require some very specialised servicing with specialised tools? Freewheels just seem simpler to service generally speaking... there is of course the downside of the chain being on the move constantly. I think it looks quite nice in a way, some won't, but I think it's pretty nice and unique looking which baffles other genres of riders out there. But meh, point is, your chain is going to wear out much faster, especially if you cycle about a lot. For now, I say you should keep the King. Save yourself time, money, and hassle. But if you were to all of a build up a whole new bike, then go for FFW. It's up to you.

Black mumbas had completely different geo... they were extremely short, like 1005-1020 wheelbase. I do know someone who's got a black mumba, with bashplate mounts neatly cut off. there is a tiny tiny tiny crack in where the bashplate mount met the chainstay yoke... but that's like nothing, and Zona Zips suffer from it too and the crack never spreads really. ^PM Tim-Rodriguez for details Long Pythons vary in length, it all depends on your forks and how far you pull your wheel out. Anything from 1045-1070mm really. I'm under 6ft, yet I really do love the geometry, I can't stress how much i enjoy the massive leverage for gaps. And with a high stem, I can still pop out the odd manual or bunny.

I do quite like the looks of the Limey 20" and Skull. Am i right in assuming that these frames will take the newer low-profile style bashplates that the Koxx XTP/Hydroxx and Deng 07/08 frames take? Also, is there any chance of there being a snail cam option? Just a small threaded hole in the dropouts'd do.... I know some people are against cams, but to be honest, I find them extremely simple, lightweight and less troublesome than tugs. You don't need a little spanner to adjust the tension in your wheel that way, and it's neater on the bike too. I use rounded cams, and they work perfectly fine. If you've got a problem with cams slipping, then your bike has a major problem. They work! I'm assuming that the Internal headtubes have been ditched? Are we going to be seeing all Onzas coming with standard style headsets from now on? Oh and a question for Joe or Mike, did you ditch the idea of the dropped-stayed T-Master frame? Last I heard, Slinger and Butler were complaining that the dropped stays 'got in the way'.

Length is dependent on forks on how far out you pull the rear wheel in the dropouts. My 04 comes at 1060mm.. but it's basically a 'long' python. so if it were listed on an online store... the geo'd be: 1045mm wb, 375mm cs, +55mm bb Same as a long 05 and the 06. 07 pythons ride soooo much differently to all the rest. Biff and CLS, for two, hate it compared to the older models.

Looks great! I just wish these frames had s-bends in the chainstays (the technical gimps of you'll know why...)

Sweet! Glad you got the tyre so fast, I hope you enjoy it No luck with my wheel today, but oh well Feedbackage time, i'll get yours up tomorrow when the wheel comes
