I've been riding the Python now for about a week, and overall I love the bike like I can't believe. It sits on rear wheel forever, very stable. The fork is a little flexible but in all fairness I'm going from a chromoly fork, so thats to be expected. I've compiled a list of likes and dislikes so far with the bike

Likes

1. Sits on rear wheel forever
2. Super stiff frame
3. increased my gapping by a couple of feet
4. very light for such a burley frame

Dislikes

1. the headset is garbage, I changed to a pig
2. echo tires are the worst tire I've ever used
3. When you crash and the bike bounces off your shin it hurts a lot

Overall

I'm 6'3" 200lbs and they could not have created a better geometry for oversized mod riders like myself. everyone who has tried it loves it too (even the stock guys). I'm overall very happy with the purchase.

thanks to Tim at trialsin.com for getting it in.

I just hope ZOO doesn't quit making them by the time I need a new frame
