Sponge Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Almost every year from 2003 up till 2008, all of the frames seem to be beefing up gradually. Until now.Even the 2005 Echo Pure (with seat) looks more sturdy than the current control. Same goes for the new 'Team'... compare to it to previous years' Teams... it's even more slimmed down than these last years' Lites!It is a big step into the light-zone. Notice how almost every CNC'd bit is drilled out in some way or form, and how there is a distinct lack of in-built boosters which was becoming a trend on Deng bikes.I don't mind it, but gosh, it's a bit overkill on the light front?

Matt_Thibeau Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 those bikes look like they would feel pretty good. I wonder if the half link chains are any good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 As far as I'm concerned, Deng's ruined the Echo Control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baladi Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 (edited) crap bike...The control 09 looks like an old aortawhy did deng made this "Competition line" of frames and parts?

Luke Rainbird Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Nobody is at the moment, which is why he's released this line of kit, obviously! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I don't really like them... Mod looks better than the stock, but they're both not too great looking in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 got all this stuff in today, not had time to unpack it yet but I am pretty impressed with a few parts...the forks are soooo light! Frames look cool (except the pyhon, ming machine lol). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 As far as I'm concerned, Deng's ruined the Echo ControlWell he's still continuing the trend of that frame having brilliant geometry. So in my books, it's still a Control. Personally as a rider, I don't think that frame is a looker, nor is the Team. But we must remember that the key feature and reason to buy this frame is the low weight. So if I were to build up an insanely light bike, I wouldn't think twice before getting one of these.

Luke Rainbird Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Controls should never go above +20, 25 at a real push I think with a lower BB and nicer front end (where's the pimping Control downtube front? Obviously removed for weight, but it's not a Control without it!) it'd be hawt and deserving of the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Both frames look flexy and a bit weak! A couple of the parts look ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Well it's designed as a comp bike, so...Be interesting to see how many comp riders use it compared to how many street riders use it. It makes sense for Koxx to make uber light comp bikes because they actually have a comp-riding team, and they're a 'comp' based company themselves. Just seems like a get-out clause for Deng so he can make ridiculously light shit that's going to sell like hot cakes to weight obsessed street riders, then just turn around and say "Well, it's a comp product" when they inevitably snap. Bearing in mind the longevity of some of Deng's "non-comp" stuff in the past, I'd be concerned whatever I used it for.got all this stuff in today, not had time to unpack it yet but I am pretty impressed with a few parts...the forks are soooo light! Frames look cool (except the pyhon, ming machine lol).With the amount of people complaining about how weak forks are, lighter forks are most definitely what riders need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 why didnt he slim the pure down? its longer, lighter and more compy than a control anyways. the bb is too high. ruined it to be honest. shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
