Simpson Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Deffo the light for me, a couple of my friends swapped a Pr. for a lite, and i think the one who ended up with the lite definatly got a better deal, was the type of bike i could get on and just ride like instantly without having to particually think about it, but then again i ride a GU and a Pr is a massive difference and i dont like it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 cheers for your fast replys. yes, i would like to ride both, but i dont think i will be able to as all but one of my riding buddies ride stock, and i cant think of any other way of having a test ride. o yeah, i have rode and echo i think its hi-fi (with the holes by the headtube) and that felt pretty sweet, is the lite a simlar ride to this does anyone know?? thanks again for your fast replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogre Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 what made you choose the echo?at a guess it'd be 'cause echo/zoo/gu etc frames are usually stonger than montys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftw Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Hi, If you ask me I would deffinately go for the Echo Lite.I have had the monty 221 pr 07, and the 06 ti. Personally I think they are too short. I have rode my mate's Echo Lite and it's mint much more space also still easy to flick about.Hope I have helped Ross..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joetrials06 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I'd get the Echo, Montys are too short and weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_jsy Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 In the end i just thought it looked much betterand i heard they were nice to ride so i went for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luano Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 i agree the echo's looks so much better than the monty's. dont know how neither ride except my mates 221pr snapped at the headtube, chainstays and the seattube. that would be enough to put me off.

trials_hughsy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 (edited) if i had to choose i would go for the echo beacause they are known to be a strong frame and in my oppinion is the echo just because its beautiful but i say its up to you what ever style you like mate Edited May 13, 2007 by trials_hughsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Why dont you just buy them both you tramp then send one back if you dont like its simple try using your brain in futuer (you retard) Cause thats not how the real world works keyry. anyway i reckon your best of with the echo, especially if you do street.
