LiamWood! Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Hello, two weeks ago a bought a 2006 cls Zoo python for £90. The frame is in good condition and i was very pleased so i built it up straight away and went for a ride, at first it didn't feel that good to ride which made me think am i just queer or is it because I'm used to a mission prodigy and dent have chance to get a proper ride. The bike set up is Onza t-bird forks, bars and stem (bought for £3 because the mission ones don't fit).Over the weekend i did not have that much time to ride it due to the weather but the chance i did get to ride it i started to ride bigger things that i thought it would be ages before i would be able to do i started to get confidence, i also noticed that that the frame flexes rather a lot with out a booster.Did anyone else feel like they dent get on with their new frame? Although it has given me more confidence i am still not 100% sure on the frame.Do you think i need to stop being a girl and try and ride it properly or find a frame that will suit me? Any help will be much appreciated! Liam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy`d Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 just ride it more give it a month or so and then see how you feel with it.It does take a little time to get used to a new frame if your new frame is quite allot different to your old frame. you never know you might like it in a couple of weeks just keep riding. hope Ive helped.

LiamWood! Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks my mission was really short and hurt my back because im 6ft and still growing (i think) if the weather sorts itself out i will go for a good long ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only joking ride it for about a month if you don't get used to it try a shorter bike.Matt Rushton Edited July 9, 2007 by matt rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhys Bradford Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) I felt the same thing because a month ago i brought a zoo python 06 and before i had a base t20. and yes it made me do alot bigger things but now i'm well happy with it. you will love it in a week or so LOLRhys Edited July 9, 2007 by Rhys Bradford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 when i changed from my T-pro to my Typhoon i could hardly do anything, it felt so much different, and i didn't like it at first. after about a month of riding it felt lovely. just bear with it and it'll get better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 no parts will be added soon when i get some money, the forks bars and stem was bought for £3, i will give it a month and see how it goes, I'm 6ft so i assumed that the long frame would of suited me better than a short one, i maybe wrong we will have to wait and see thanks for the help guys!

EssexGalTay Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 In reply to your queries; "Do you think i need to stop being a girl and try and ride it properly or find a frame that will suit me?"No! you dont need to stop being a girl! Infact if it was a girl then we probably wouldnt be complaining! Any way, I know a few people with this frame who have all personally found it alright. To be honest, as with any new frame, you need to adjust to itOnce you have riden a few times im sure you should be fineTay.. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsychem Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I had exactly the same frame and am trying to sell it now. I did have a zoo booster on it but took it off as i didn't find that it was necessary and it worked fine without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
