bigamac Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I'm buying one next week. As a bike to get back into the riding so im sure it will be perfectly fine. Just after some opinions about how it rides, weight, strength. The general nish nosh i'd need to know (: Getting it at a decent price and very good spec aswell so im happy. GEO: • Top Tube: 567mm (22.33") • Wheelbase: 1080mm • Chainstay length: 380mm • Seat Tube: 150mm • Head Angle: 72° • Headtube Length: 120mm • BB: +20mm So what is the reviews and shizz?

LukasMcNeal Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 They are pretty stiff says Muel, the only thing that might be abit weird is the bb height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Rubbish, +20 is a good BB height on a stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Rubbish, +20 is a good BB height on a stock. Tis a bit looow now really.... depends what you want to ride though, and of course personal preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well going to be mostly riding street, and some natty now and then. I'm more of a tgs style person. I dont have the effort to do lines. And i thought the bb was a lil low, but i thought a low stem would compensate for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 A low stem makes for a higher-feeling BB... but a higher one gives more options. It's wether you can get a stem that's low enough to make the BB feel good to you, without making it also be shit to pull up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigamac Posted January 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Well it has tryall bars and tryall nuc stem. So idk (: I'm just going to ride it to start with and try not to change it. Felt good on a test ride i done. But never owned a stock. Rode mod before. So good choice for starters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then change parts after that. The bars also have some massive rise so a small stem would be good idea im thinking. Will have to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 i liked mine was fun for bunny hops thats all you need to know really and the rim is 07 echo mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I love mine, BB is a bit too low though, would be much better if it was +30-35mm. Other than that I can't fault mine, doubt I'll be changing for a good while yet, I've had it since July already and it still feels "fresh" to ride. Things have changed since I had my Echo Lites, I had 3 at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
