The last bit of the puzzle for now arrived in the post today (new rear tyre) so it would probably be rude not to get it put together. I think it looks ok and just hoping that it lasts until I can find a suitable replacement frame
spec so far as I can tell
random GT mtb front wheel with generic nobbly tyre
Zoo forks
HS33 front brake with goodridge braided hose
DOB frame
Echo stem with zoo bars
FSA pig headset
trial tech cranks with front freewheel and Onza pedals
halflink chain
Echo rear hub laced to a “tryall”? rim and fixed gear
Onza greina dh rear tyre
HS33 rear brake with booster
Just in case anyone is remotely interested here’s the frame painted and waiting for the parts to put it back together, the colour is Fordson empire blue the same as my vintage tractor simply because I had half a tin in the shed so it was free
Thanks for the replies everyone I’m guessing it’s not likely to last very long with a 14.5 stone not particularly good or smooth rider but I suppose if lasts for a while then I swap the frame at least it gets me started. I did get round to painting it this afternoon but now waiting for a new headset and rear tyre before I can put it back together
Picked this up with the intention of getting back into trials at 36 years old. It was advertised as an echo but I’m not sure. it’s been sanded ready to re paint but the chap selling it said he lost interest and it had sat un used for 2-3 years. so any help to identify it would be appreciated
Hi all just picked myself up an old 26 with an unknown frame (possibly Echo) but reasonable bits which I’m planning on getting working and getting back into some hopping about so would be great if there’s some others around Ashford that are up for getting together as it was always nicer to ride with a few people back when I used to ride (knocking on 20 years ago)
