Can you tell me anything (history) about my bike?
This bike was given to me about 12 years ago. The brand is Pyton?!? and the model is Boa?!? Designed in Canada, but made in China. Double butted cro-mo (Tange), with Shimano Deore LX groupset, 7 speed.
Anyway, here are some pictures. THANKS! http://lh6.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...2/IMG_5203.JPG http://lh5.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...0/IMG_5205.JPG http://lh6.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...2/IMG_5206.JPG http://lh6.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...0/IMG_5208.JPG http://lh4.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...2/IMG_5210.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...0/IMG_5211.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...0/IMG_5212.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...2/IMG_5213.JPG http://lh5.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...2/IMG_5214.JPG http://lh3.ggpht.com/_f9gvdVE6eWE/SQ...0/IMG_5215.JPG |
No info but hey neighbor
Edit. Tange is not bad. Araya is not bad. Forged drop outs are not bad. LX is not bad. All in all I'd say your bike is pretty good. Sorry I can't be more helpful |

Might be the wrong year but you can look at this.

I would say, for its age, being made from Tange chromo it shouldn't tip the scales too bad; and that it should snake through singletrack fairly adeptly with constricting your style too much.

I see what you did there :)

Thats an interesting fork. Looks like a solid ride to me

I have had some Pythons come through our shop and they all seemed to be middle to even higher end bikes with relatively light frames and good components... they were not sold here for very long.

Bar ends and risers? Fashion Police assemble!

It looks like a really unique bike. I really like the fork. |

I know absolutely nothing about mountain bikes, so any advice about cheap improvements would be appreciated. |
If the steer tube is the right diameter throw a dart one or something on it.
