Swapped with the lad in the topic below , my genesis mod for his echo 24. Frame, forks, headset, bb, wheels and tyres. Ogre can quote me now. Didn't have to do too much to it, only needed a front brake and rotor. Ready to ride. Love it. Feels like a mod but with a better, non back crippling reach. Spec is as follows

2012 echo 24 frame

Echo sl disk forks

Echo sl headset

Echo tr 24" wheel set

Onza genesis mod stem and bars, odi longneck lock on grips

Shimano m615 front disk and rt66 rotor, 180mm

Rear 04 mag lever with racing line piston, 2011 slaves, echo clamps, tnn blue pads

Trialtech cranks, 170mm, modded onza genesis bash, echo sl freewheel, new kmc610hx chain

Kenda kinetics tyres (heavy as fook)

It rides pretty good, although I'm not quite used to the size just yet. And it weighs a bit more than the mod. But I'll get used to it. I wasn't gonna do another build, but this was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Done a few things, got a 150x30 tryall stem off Wilf, as the front was way too high and resulted in me going off the back a couple of times, due to what I think was having my weight too far back. It feels better with this stem on, had a few hops about and I can get more vertical on the back wheel. Changed the rear pads to ADM's as well, loads better now they are bedded in properly

Little update. After the winter, it appears that leaving a water bled brake in a shed overnight may have caused some damage. So the parts were replaced as required

New racing line piston in the lever, the updated design one

Trialtech red hosing

Racing line anodised fittings through out

Shortened the front bake hose

New mg-1 pedals
