smelly joe Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Inevitably i have cracked my T-Pro at the headtube where they all go.I did this while bunnyhop gapping a 7 ft gap on palletsI am going to have to get a new frame. i was wondering what frame to get, i prefer shorter mods with a quite low bb rise as i quite like to bunny hop and i have found this a challenge to do on longer mod'swith a higher bb rise.i know there is not much choice of shorter mods around in the ever incereasing world of long bikes.i do not plan to get a crash replacment onza t-pro as they are just not strong enough frames.

Danny Swindlehurst Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 get a zoo python or zona zip there mods witch have low bb hieght and r very strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee_ Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think the 2005 Python has a lower bb than the 2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el curevo Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 The zona zip is a very long mod bike so if you want a short bike probably not the one to get. Jimbob (dan6061) has just got one and it is a really nice bike to ride. Its feels nicer that his t-pro he has and is incredably strong. It is a bit heavier but when you ride it you dont notice it.

watto Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 get a t-pro on crash replacement and then sell it on and use the money towards your new frame or see wether supercycles will let you use it to get money off a zona zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyJames Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Echo Team short - 1000 wb, beautifully CNC'd, nice and strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Like 'el cuervo' said, I got my Zip a few weeks back now. And it rides so much nicer then what my T-pro did. Whoever said they have a low bb is wrong, or has such a high bb that Zips look low They have a wheelbase of around 1040mm, but because of the high bb, it doesn't feel so long. And it is heavier then my T-Pro, but it feels so light to ride, because the geo is pretty much perfect. Go for it, I think me, and Mark (onzaboymark) are the only one's to go from T-Pro to Zip so far, I could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I would say an echo team nice and strong + a nice looking frame .Bearing in mind your t pro should be about a 1020 wb I would say go for a longer team the 1030 as I can see you being quite cramped on the 1000.As said the zips and pythons are nice and strong but the 06 python would be too long for you.Gu are good but they have a really high bb at +60.Also take a look at the monty 220 ( i think) and also the toxin mods.Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 yes monty 221 pr frames as good value at £140 and available here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 He said he wanted short, Python is prob's the longest bike around... Go for a Monty or something. Depends what your budget is.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Monty is your only choice if you want to stick with short and low bb. Look for the 221pr or ti frames. Anything out of china (echo, zoo, gu etc) has a high bb (60mm+) and generally are longer than they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smelly joe Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 My budget would probably be around the £200 mark.I've had a look at the monty 221pr but they don't exacterly look like the strongest bikes around and i can be quite a heavy rider at times. Does anyone have any idea on the strength of the monty frames.I think most of the new bikes from deng and the zip are all long and high and would not be nice for me.the echo team is probably the best sugestion(sp), but it is a little out of my budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurston Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 yes monty 221 pr frames as good value at £140 and available hereI agree go with the monty pro frame, i'm getting one soon as they look so nice and are very short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you wanna ride a stupily heavy frame that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch A Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I think you should get an Koxx XTP or a levelboss they are light and like the T-pro geometry (the levelboss is not sure about the XTP) If not get either a monty 221 Pro or 221 Ti frame They are all available from CleanbikesCheersMitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 You could just get it welded on the crack and it will be good as new. When my T-pro went i got a crash replacement T-lite and i am in love with it. The crash replacement is £85 off any onza frame I think.
