JT! Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I would say the shorter one, bit more flickable, manoverable for natural. (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 You could look at something in the middle like the echo team, maybe the best of both world's ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocrossmumford Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 il go with munn on this one, i have the long and it is lush but wish it was a teeny bit smaller so it flicks about a bit better as the long python is a bit..well...long!!!

PythonRider Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 If you need to decide between the long or short python, then at your height, get the 1040.... Im around 5" 10-11 and used to ride the 1040 python and it was perfect for me :( Or the new Echo team is looking rather sexual! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Since getting a BMX I cant stand my Echom Team its the long one I can only do static moves on it now. Im 5 foot 7ish and Im now thinking the long mod is not for me. Id stay get a short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthews Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 7 Months ago i was completly in love with long 20" bikes , but after riding siders monty i've fell in love with short bikes and im thinking of getting rid of my python for a short bike :( Im 5ft 11" and still growing so in short i should really stick to a longer bike If you ride natural its probs best to get a smaller bike which is easier to throw around the rocks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTTY___ Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) I have the 05 team! 1040wb. Super strong and ridged. Good to ride on natural aswell and it sits superb on backwheel. 3/4 of everybody whos rode it says its the nicest mod they've ever rode! Im 5ft 10/11ish.. Get one!

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 or get the geo you want and get clive to build you a leeson mod, that way when (if) you break it you just post it back and he fixes it :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 You could wait for the Onza frame to come out? Has the same wheelbase as a team i believe. Not sure, im uneducated Between python and team errr..... go python get those sidehops to 50" in no time mate :blink: Or If you get a leeson/pashely like tom said, you could design your own dropouts and gussets :'( ! You could have "Craig" engraved at the headtube join lol Don't get a monty though (sorry Nadine :P ) Monty's are my sort of thing :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducko Posted June 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 does anyone have any idea on what mr clive will charge for a leeson?? cheers :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 400 :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 yep £400 in whatever colour you want. if it gets fidely and you want anything extra special then it may increas the price a little but £400 is the benchmark. call him and talk your needs and wants over with him, his customer service is unbelievably good. i've just ordered a booster off him and because my frame is the first ever one he's not sure if it'll fit or not so he's sent it to me to check and if it does then i'll pay him. can't see anyone else ever doing that!!! craig - i'll pm you his number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefletch Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 How about reach down in your pants, check that you actually have some balls, then check you actually have a personallity. Once everything is accounted for, you may open your mind up a little and be a tiny bit originol and get some other than the above. eagerly awaiting criticism.... :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
