Broomer Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 for a few weeks now i have been undecided weather to switch from my echo control to a second hand leeson 660.i like the look of steel frames, and i also like the short wheelbase of leesons.its just i'm not sure if the leeson will be too short,i think its about 1025mm-1030mm i need your opinions to help me decide.thanks guys.liam broome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 unless your riding is really really streety dont bother, stick with the control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe' Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 depends wether u want to do sidehops the rest of your life or mix your riding up a bit!the leeson is a harder challenge, hence why u should pick it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeCottTrials Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Control since at the end of the day all riding is repetative, and imo street riding is exceptionally repetative just watch phill feeneys vid. Atleast with the control you should be able to mix it up a bit but still stick with the trials moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTF Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Echo Controls are super good, but personally I'd go for the Leeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Control. Rode a long for one day and it was superb. It could have been a bit longer though but other than that it was a good balance between a frame which is good for static moves and rolling moves. It's also quite flicky, I can imagine the short should be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
