My Echo ES3, was bicyxual. So dialled on the back tire, really throwable, light, still hasnt died. Could get it up anythng. Closely followed by my old Pashley 26 MHz. Very similar, lacked the standover height and rear wheel stability. Love the fact they were both so lively, really twitchy front end, because of the steep head angle. I now have a GMP and I hate it. Havent ridden a long bike that Ive liked yet.
