Mat Smith! Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 koxx xtp deffoThat is 1 massive jump, from a T-Bird to a XTP lol, I'd go with Echo Team, really nice frames.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 dont like the long python too much. Nah, I hate the feel of the longer Pythons. Probably those massively long stays I guess. Either way, that's why I was happy when the Zip had 362mm stays instead of 375mm. All good Personally, I've had no trouble and a load of fun with my Zip frame. They're only £159 now, so even if you don't agree with how I feel it rides it's not the end of the world Anyway, the high BB, short stays and long front end combo does it for me. Just gotta work out what you want, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzojim Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 it might be a big jump , but if you want a good bike have the best XTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye_trials Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 it might be a big jump , but if you want a good bike have the best XTP.i think that the xtp is just to expensive for my second bike, i know that they are a great frame but i would rather something cheaper like the zoo python or gu typhoon.Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewhite Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 HeyI just got myself a new zona zip for christmas and im having major difficulty with it. Last night i built it all up and found out that my chain rubs on the frame because im running too large a chainring. So if i were you i would make sure that you do your research into what oarts you have and if they are compatible with your new frame. Hope i helpedjoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
