Then again its our choice, u choose, im only giving advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfuzzit Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well. as far as spraying it, i would stick with the current color if its not too banged up. if you do, however. get it powdercoated or something. if you just spray it with paint it might not last very long. Personally i like the looks of the python as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will17will17 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 since you asked for advice i'm sure you don't mind us giving ityou can buy about 2 sets of creepys for 1 set of try-alls and creepys last longer so technically i would go with them, riding them my self and i have a friend with a zoo who is also riding them and they have lasted very long compared to a review on try-alls i did about a week ago.Leave the frame the same zoo's look smart as they are unless 26" but you don't got 26" because they don't do creepy's in 26" i'm guessing?and don't waste money so technically i have a friend who has bent his bottom bracket (Sq tapper) and he is only replacing the BB instead of a whole new set of cranks because it is a waste of money since the cranks still work you get me Thanks *Greeny* hoped this helpedWillnice gold profile i got a red one myself, bet you could of never guessed I also bet you bike looks well nice gold and silver if you got you hubs built on onza ronnies and reggies?also do you got a gold hope squ-er through your front disc hub?

Dan6061 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 (edited) For the tyres,I'd personally stick with the Maxxis CC's. Just as good, and cheaper. For spraying the frame, choose whatever coour you want. I made a topic before i sprayed my one, to get an idea on colours, and then I played about in photoshop to get the colour sorted. It's really not hard to spray frames, just get all the paint off (in your case stickers and lacquer?) and the primer it, then the coats of the paint of your choice, the lacquer. EDIT: For the bottom bracket, if your Square taper is fine, leave it. Edited May 22, 2006 by Dan6061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
