narrowbars Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Really nice and an impressive weight What do you think of the forks? I was thinking of going front Magura on mine but can't seem to find those forks in stock anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Techno Viking checking out the trials scene. Love the bike too, love the colour scheme with the green and orange. Not too keen on the stickers but it stills looks hawt. Edited August 24, 2011 by MonsieurMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of going front Magura on mine but can't seem to find those forks in stock anywhere Because 24'' magura forks is crap. I snapped one after 2 months of riding. Go for Echo Techno Viking checking out the trials scene. Love the bike too, love the colour scheme with the green and orange. Not too keen on the stickers but it stills looks hawt. Damn Almost all graphics are made with stencils and paint Edited August 24, 2011 by kristaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Damn Almost all graphics are made with stencils and paint Really, I take it back then, they take nothing from it. If it's a paint job it's cool, but stickers are lame, I dunno why I assumed they were stickers lol. Maybe a bit too cluttered, but looks good. (Sad that I changed my opinion after learning that it's paint.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
