Echo had some bad bikes(mostly the alu`s fault) and some bad welds at start, but it was a new company and everything cant start on top, you cant be a president after a year at school, but still most people says your lame if your not?.
But the last years i do beleive ECHO(and qiang dengs other brands) has earned the respect of good bike products and its clear that theyr motivation is to be the best . The amount of products of them that fail these days are extremely low, and because of this its quite safe to say that theyrs products are some of the top products beeing built in the trials market.
People have a strong tendency to focus harder on the negative sides then rather on the positive sides, its like a human syntax error, but how about opening the minds and facings the strong and good facts Deng`s products come up with these days?
things cut short .. live in the present and face the facts and reality, go for what you yourself like... and stop whine unless it will result in peace on earth or anything else that is considered highly important for our lifes.
And i dont think comments on message boards do just this ..
embrace the positive, negativity is the side to the dark side of the force .
And we wouldnt want that would we? =P
