Mike Beck Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well, it depends on what you are planning to do on the bike. The 06 pitbulls have a higher BB so are nicer to sidehop when sidehopping a 'higher' wall and are all round great frames. Although many people have the view that the higher BB makes it hard to bunnyhop and tap, however I prefer this set-up when riding other bikes.The 07 on the other hand has more of a 'standard' geometry feel to it and is an all around great bike and even comes with the option of 116 mm spacing so that a derailler/tensioner does not have to be run to keep the chain tight, so less money is spent in the long run. Also both of these frames are really quite strong and last ages.lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Ride like tanks but very very stiff and bomb proof you must have rode a very horrible one then! To be honest i love them, but only in the long model, probably due to my height but like everything this varies from person to person. i think they are absoloutely soild, i first bout the 04 python and since then i have been hooked, rode that for two years and now have a long 06 pitbull. Out of all of the stocks i have riden or owned 07 GU's KOT MS2's, BT's ect ect the only two i have liked are the long Adamant A1 and the 06 Zoo Pitbull long (I havent riden a 07 one yet so cant really comment there!) and to be fair they are great bikes! They are also as solid as you like! So i would say yes, great, long lasting, nice to ride and look great.... Could you want anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbra Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Can anybody tell me what the long 05's ride like? Edited June 27, 2007 by Barber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 the few i have riden have been ace! They have all been to short for me but still rode spot on, i found they were very steady and nice on the back wheel, it wasnt my bike so you dont take liberties but what i rode of it, it was very nice!

trials rules Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 My mate has the 05, although im not sure whether its the long or short but he can really beast it on street stuff, such as taps and sidehops as well as gaps but it also rides well on natural.I've got the 06 short (cos im short ) and ive found that it just sits on the backwheel really nicely but doesnt allow you to get much preload when doing gaps. (unless its the way i do it...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
