26ghz Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Hi all,I've been out of the trials scene for a bit and my pashley 26ghz is starting to look dated. Thinking about getting either a zoo pitbull or echo control frame. Not sure which 1 to get, just lookin to get some owners opinions. Can anybody help?

Simpson Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 i have a control in my opinion is the nicest stock bike i have evr riddern really responsive and powerfull, not too hard on the rear wheel from the BB rise i think its super sexual!!! i love it and how it rides i wasnt at all dissapointed with my dissicion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe parker Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 zoo pitbull!! 4 def!! they r both really nice frames but the zoo wins hands down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurftrial Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I dont have one but i htink that the control is best. Just looks nicer!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeDraisey! :) Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 ive ridden both mikes control, and mikes pibull.the pitbull seems really squashed, and it feels like you are much more over the bars than you should be. also the pitbull is rigid on its rear wheel and reacts very quickly to what you do.the control feels longer, and more relaxed when on the rear wheel, but still responsive.if it was my choice id go for the control.

cvtrial Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Zoo! Pitbull 1085!!! I love my bike (Zoo! Pitbull), it's so smooth to ride!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26ghz Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 thanks for the comments it seems the control is the way to go. What size would you suggest though? short or long? i'm 5'11 ish or is it just down to personal preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhenoVenom Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) I'd say go for the Control, I'm sooo pleased with mine. I used to ride a Koxx Platecode, then switched to the Control and I've improved loads after that. Also it's looks much nicer than the pitbull Edited February 5, 2006 by PhenoVenom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 out of those two...controlI would also get the short virsion.....much more fun.BUT...if I had more choice of frames I wouldnt get either of those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personal preference, im about 5'11 and have the 1085 version because they didnt have the other one in stock. it feels quite short more due to the BB rise, i cant say im going as big as i did on my saracen just yet but im starting to adjust, better static but im having to work on me rolling it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pike64421 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 well this is quite a good one personally i would go for the ECHO because the it looks so much nicer than the zoo but as i have only ridden a ZOO can not really say much about the ECHO. The zoo on the when i was riding it i t felt like i was bent over the bar way to far it felt like i had been a bad boy so me mrs was going to sort me out with something hard so i soon got off of it. because the bar felt super low you had to put so much effort into pulling the bike off the ground. and i really did not enjoy riding it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
