Copy and paste: 2015 ECHO Control Limited Edition complete bike to commemorate Deng Qiang. The design is strong and lightweight, it is a CNC-style 26” trials bike, limited to 38 units worldwide, and each bike has a unique identification number. The geometry of the bike and purple parts were Deng Qiang’s favorite. (ECHO's 1998 first-generation 20” complete bikes were styled with purple parts). 2015 ECHO Control Limited Edition frame has returned to the CNC design highlighting strength and power. The original frame around the seat tube is replaced by two beautiful CNC plates. The CNC board on the right has its unique identification number and special D logo to commemorate Deng Qiang. The CNC board on the left has Deng Qiang’s signature. The rear brake and booster have been combined into one CNC part, combined with the traditional CNC axle drop out design, the frame has much more anti-torsion and strength, as well as being visually unique and impressive. The frame is finished in matte black, the color of solemn respect. The laser engraved “Control” logo is a copy of the 2004 Control model, a tribute to the classic year. The head tube has a tapered design, this keeps the front end height low and enables maximum flexibility in bike fit for a wide range of riders. Total weight of the frame is 1520 grams! It is the best combination of weight and strength! 2015 ECHO Control Bike equipped with the top of the line ECHO parts, including carbon fiber handle bar, CNC splined cranks, titanium bottom bracket, titanium freewheel, titanium pedals, titanium cog, splined hubs, titanium bolts, and the purple CNC stem is unique to this limited edition bike. The frame uses triple butted tubes as we have used on GU frames. In addition, the front brake system used on the ECHO Control limited edition is the latest ECHO SL separated oil tank disc brake, it uses a symmetrical design and can be used on either the left or right side of the handlebar. Although he has left us, in fact he is by our side. Because ECHO is always a continuation of Deng Qiang! Wheelbase: 1095mm, BB High: 75mm, Head Tube: 105mm, Frame Space: 135mm, Chainstay: 378mm, Head Angle: 72° Frame Weight: 1520g

He just got on my tits and yeah, they didn't use old Motherf**ker as well as they could have done. Birdman was pretty good, not what i was expecting; odd, but enjoyable. Oh and Emma Stone.

New? Where did you get one from? All I can find are 710P, which i had read weren't made by Bosch and weren't as good? Maybe bull....

Hope you aren't serious there Rowan? Personally i found it hilarious. This. Watched it last night, was so good! Want to watch it again already. Horrible bosses 2 was OK, certainly not as good as the first one and definitely riding it's coat tails.

By the looks of that bead, MIG

Not been to a gym before but have started going with Joe Seddon 2-3 times a week. This week the evil b*****d decided deadlifts would be good, having never done them before i was fairly happy to be able to crack out 3 sets of 5 at 135Kg (i'm 73kgs) have no idea what's good or not, but my god my lower back has been so stiff and solid since.

Dan that's because you used caustic soda, fine if you want to strip anodising and you know what you're doing. Not ideal for paint and definitely not one to leave on an aluminium frame.

Do it, will be entertaining, but sure he'll cope just fine. Have to head to The Barn once my hands have healed and have my shoes back.

I have indeeds, should have a replacement set by Thursday/Friday. Lucky as the replacements are the last pair in the country that they have. Noooo! Toes are just annoying things that get in the way and must be crushed

Really miss my Hydroxx, loved that bike!

I know, stupid really; should have just belly flopped on top, wasn't expecting to be hitting 6B routes though. Mine's the exact same thing, just tweaked it on those crimpy holds at the start. Ah well, week with no shoes means I have an excuse to rest. When are we going to france?!

God damn tweaked a finger at the climb, trying that damn sand coloured 6B by the stairs.. shoulda just dragged myself over the top and left it alone!

PlusGas should work in 2-5 minutes, never had to wait any longer for it to work it's magic. If it doesn't shift after that, then it probably won't move. I'd get a decent blowtorch at the ready too.

I used a neon front rim in my TryAll Karbons, not sure of the ERD of them though. It was a squeeze at 35mm wide. Sell your existing wheel and then buy a new one?

Have you spoken to Ben@TrialsAddict? I've had a few Born bits from him before, might be able to help.

Nightcrawler was really good, creepy but good Got The Interview and Birdman to watch. Watch predestination the other night, quite an odd film but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Matt that's a pretty sweet little deal you've got there really can't wait to see the end product.

Just keep an eye out and a set you like the look of will pop up.

Jardo would be proud.

I'd definitely go for Mk2, especially with a 1.8T. I do miss my little Mk2 *sigh*.

Totally agree, watched it a few weeks back and thought it was really quite good. Had no idea about the story really, so the ending was a bit of a surprise.

Thought American Sniper was ok, seemed more of an American propoganda film than anything else. I really enjoyed John Wick, nice easy watch; although that puppy getting killed cut me real deep

I know a few people that run them at that height, in fact even lower with no stacker and have no issues. Depends on your riding style and how you like your front end to feel I guess.

Ah right fair enough. Nah i'd rather get a new OEM one just for peice of mind, but thanks for the offer

Need a new recirc valve myself, don't think mine has ever been changed. Where did you get yours for that price Luke?!
