rudirudirudirudirudi Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 these would be great to learn on. there pretty much top spec. it might be worth saving some money and starting off with something a bit cheaper. but then again if youve got the money maybe it would be worth it as you wont have to buy anything else for a while. ps. if your looking at that sort of price range take a look at www.tartybikes.co.uk you will find what you want there for sure. any questions just phone them. there a nice bunch of guys and will answer all of your questions im sure. hope iv helped. welcome to the trials world.

rudirudirudirudirudi Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 personally i would go for the echo lite as its supposed to ride amazing. iv got an echo team and love it. Iv never really liked koxx too be honest but iv never riden a koxx either. i would go for the echo though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uktrial Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 thanks for that ive had a look on tartybikes theres an echo lite on there which would be best for me short or long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudirudirudirudirudi Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 this is what i didnt no the answer to when i started. basicly the shorter the bike the more flicky it is. so on a longer bike the harder it is to do spins etc. some people say that you can gap further on long bikes and sidehop higher. but i dont think it makes much difference. the long echo is quite short for a long.... if you get what i mean. its up to you and what sort of style you think you will be riding. there isnt much difference. hope iv helped. ps. on tarty you can choose a colour scheme and change some of those parts like rims etc to a different colour.

dreaming of a monty Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'd definately go for the echo, it looks nicer and i've heard that koxx frames have a reputation for snappingquite easily. (don't know how true it is but i wouldn't risk it personaly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
