Greetings Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hi guys! I want to change my CLS Python to a shorter frame (GU or the Yao Zhi replica). As I've seen from the movies, most of you are into long bikes. Here in Poland mod bikes are not too popular, and most in use are of 1030mm WB, or even 1070 for some huge riders. That's why I can't get any feedback at all :blink: What WB would you reccomend for touchhops, sidehops and some natural riding? Id also fancy b-hops, they're a bit too hard on the 1045 WB. :lol: Selectbikes have their last Yao Zhi frame in stock right now, and GU is a bit too expensive, but I think its affordable with the 15% discount for x-mas. What would be your choice? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 personally I recken mods are best short, there arnt really many advantages a longer bike can give you apart from better fitting, but if you need a long mod you might as well go stock?

Greetings Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 might as well go stock? well, ive been riding a mod ever since i began riding trials, although i had a go on a short stock for a month or two and it was great. not really into the big wheel although i appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emery Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 (edited) I think street riding is the way forward and I love a short bike at the moment I ride a t-lite which is just under a thousand I think, So I would go for around 100 and get that zoo for 229 thats good. toby And I'm getting the gu witha wb of 1000 5 mm should'y make a difference really lol speaking of wb whats the t-lite wheelbase Edited November 4, 2005 by emery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i really liked my monty (short wheelbase) but i found it was a real pain in the arse for some natural (bridging was quite difficult). I now have a zona zip which feels a bit bigger but makes some stuff easier and sits on the back wheel nicer. It also allows bigger pigeons i believe. I think overall though I'd prefer my monty cos its more flickable and fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Yao Zhi replica? Is that the frame from his own company? If so whats it called? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 No no, Martin (Y) , it's the same frame as mine, Zoo Python shorty, and Yao Zhi's new company is called Zhibikes I believe? www.zhibike.com is the site, but it doesn't always seem to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
