Azarathal Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Aesthics I'd take the curve. Not a clue on performance though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Id go for the Echo. Looks classy, clean. Spanish BB is 100% pure win, and the geometerys nice too. Edit: The integrated tensioners on the Echo make wheel alignment a doddle too. Edited January 20, 2012 by Echo Lite 09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 definitely the Echo for the reasons said above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 If the Ozonys had integrated tensioners and the press-fit BB I'd say go for that, but it doesn't so I won't. On the plus side, if you go for the Ozonys there is the pointless boss for the Ozonys tensioner you don't need, so you could always just bolt some stuff in there for shits and giggles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24martin Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 get the echo for sure.. absolutely nothing wrong with jumping on a bandwagon every now and then. also not trying to start anything here but on the subject of bottom bracket's, i would much rather have a nice strong spanish bottom bracket, im not a huge fan of the isis system or infact any threaded style bottom bracket! i think all frame's should just have a big non-threaded hole in them for a bottom bracket so you can just smash some bearings into the hole and be done with it no special tool's required for removing/fitting a spanish bb too seen a video of randy taylor the other day and he is installing his brand new bb into his brand new frame using his crank arm as a hammer, now that is just pure win! another thing is the fact that every part of every spanish bb is replaceable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 For me: Echo has the cool tensioners and the fantastic Spanish BB. Ozonys has the looks, but only just. Mk2 is very nice looking. I've not heard huge amounts about them, but heard of more Ozonys cracking than Echos too. But they're both stocks, so I wouldn't get either of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
