Revolver Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 haha but then why keep them as all those separate companies?couldn't they just sell it all under the name DENG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Makes good business sense selling them as different brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Makes good business sense selling them as different brands.Echo is the oldest one I think, and people know Echo products are good. Adamant is a pretty recent one and it adamant frames turned out to be shit, it wouldn't tarnish the good name of Echo. At least I think that's how it works. Although everyone here know that Deng makes all the brands anyway, and we just lump 'em all together as Deng frames, which completely defeats the point.

Janson Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Echo was deng's original brand. (addition:): He also sold components alongside the Echo frames under the name of Adamant, which he later started making frames and other stuff under.Then he created Zoo, which was his low budget line of frames. He started out with a copy of a Koxx Levelboss 26", and a copy of the Monty X-Lite. Frames were called Boa and Lynx, but I can't remember which was which. I think the Boa was the 26".Then he made a half-assed copy of the Coustellier frame called the Pitbull, which has evolved into something not as coust-esque. The release of the Pitbull made the Coustelliers very angry, and they nearly sued.Then after selling loads of zoo and echo frames, deng released a boatload of companies, as mentioned, gu, czar, etc...

James Quigley Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 okay this might be the thread to ask this question........about 3 or 4 years ago (I think when it was just echo and zoo) I obtained a booster like the one below....Now it was exactly the same as this only had ADAMANT engraved into it, instead of echo. now was there another company called adamant or did deng realease a couple of products under the adamant name before going into the frames etc?
