extremedougie Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 hi guys i was just thinking about getting a new frame in the next couple of months but dont really know what to get. I have an echo lite right now which is a really light frame and am thinking about getting a frame with around about the same weight but a lot stronger than the echo. any suggestions? thanks, dougie.

Why do you want to change frames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremedougie Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 to be honest, your not gunna get anything out there with a similar weight which is stronger. Why do you want to change frames? i dont mind if it is around 400g heavier i just want something that is stronger. I want a new frame because i my mate has the same frame and his one cracked really easily so i am kinda scared to go for as much stuff on mine now and around christmas time i will have had my frame for a year so just fancy something different Was me mate Brother had left his profile logged on haha. Id recommend the Onza Ice 2 mate. Rides really really nicely, and I think it looks great! haha! yeh it looks nice and my mate has one so i've had a few shots and it ride rather nice thats the kind of frame i am looking for to be honest. The limey 20 looks nice too The Ice is a fair bit heavier than the Echo :/ I dont mind if it is like 400g heavier just something stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extremedougie Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You must have confused me when you said : haha! 400g isn't to much of defferance (cant spell it) in my opinion But i see how that probably confused you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manus-Rider Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 onza ice 2 or onza 320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 400g is a massive difference when it comes to frames. Considering there's only about 800g between some of the lightest and heaviest frames out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) 400g is a massive difference when it comes to frames. Considering there's only about 800g between some of the lightest and heaviest frames out. 400g is a decent mid point then Im kidding, Yes the Ice isn't the lightest frame out there, but they ride very well. You could easily save weight in other areas and still have a strong frame. I love mine. Im not a massive fan of the limey 320. They just feel really short, but I've never got along with short frames. I'd go for the Ice mate. I really cant feel the difference in weight when Im riding it. Edited August 7, 2011 by Echo Lite 09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extremedougie Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 That was another idea i had, save weight in other areas on the bike and have a stronger frame. Thanks for the reply's guys I'll deffo be having a good look at the ice when im going to get a new frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 I want a new frame because i my mate has the same frame and his one cracked really easily If it's the one I think it is, it looked like he'd gone to bash quite a lot, quite hard on it. If you do that with any frame it'll break. If you don't, it should be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do that with any frame it'll break. If you don't, it should be fine... Its the guy that i made a video with and showed the crack at the end. It gets bashed ALOT, but according to Dougie and Darren, you can't crack your frame going to bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kieran Morrison Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 You definitely can I know, but they said - "Why would it be there if it was going to crack the frame" Irony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
