Ezg_Cannuck Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Hey all you trials nuts,First of all, I'd like to mention that I'm totally new to Trials-Forum, so if I do something I'm not supposed to or piss some people off with questions, let me know. The thing I'd like to ask is which frame would you choose: The Echo Control or the Adamant A1 and why? I do about 95% urban riding if that makes a difference in your choice. Any and all help will be much appreciated.Cheers*EDIT: Well thanks for all the input guys, but I actually decided to get a Meta VTT. I didn't think the geo would work for me, but I hopped on a demo VTT and loved it instantly. I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can Edited March 10, 2008 by Ezg_Cannuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiles-trials Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Ive ridden both these frames, and i have to say they are both lush.Firstly the echo was so comfortable, i felt like i could tap for england and sidehop ok too.This has a low bb hight compared to most frames nowerdays (makes it very hoppable)Then the Adamant. This frame/Bike was amazing it just went for miles longer than any other stock (gaps, taps, sidehops ect..).The adament has a relatively low bb hight if thats what you like.In my opinion the Adamant takes it, just because it rode nice and it has more pimp factor.Thanks Edited March 6, 2008 by smiles-trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I cant really give a fair opinion as i have only ridden the a1, but the are super lush! With the right set up they are by far the nicest stock i have ever ridden! Feel nice length to me, but thats most likely because im a mod rider But if i were to go stock, thats deffinately what i would go for!

Ash-Kennard Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) i would get the control. i rode one for a year, was lush, but i just got bored of it eventually and fancied a change, but liked it so much i still have it. they also take an insane beating.although im sure the a1's are similar, they are too big for me to be honest and weigh more than the control Edited March 6, 2008 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peperami Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Id go for the adamant if it was me... are these both new frames? And whats made you pick those two in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeaky2k8 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 i would get the echo control it is better than the adamant for me because i dont like the bb rise on it i think that it is to high compared to the echo control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor the basher. Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Controll, bomb proff tappes like a bugger and just over all rides lushhhhhhhhhhh.Adamnt are nice rides to very nice for more, side hop statick things imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezg_Cannuck Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Id go for the adamant if it was me... are these both new frames? And whats made you pick those two in particular?Yes, I'd go for the 07 model of either frame, new. And I chose those bikes because the geo of the 07's seem good for me. I'm about 6'1'' and almost 200 lbs, so I need a long frame. Right now I have a frame with a 1050mm wheelbase and a 0 BB rise. Not so great for me, but it was all I could afford. If you know of any other comprable models, I'm open for suggestions. Thanks a bunch for the helpCheersThanks everyone for all your input. I'm also open for other suggestions of frames with comparable geometry. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radfax Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 id say the adamant, i absoloutley love these frames, feel so nice on the back wheel and gap like a dream! i cannot fault them, they are the only stock i have got on and not wanted to get off of asap!

Ezg_Cannuck Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 What type of riding do you do primarily? I don't know how much of it is true, but I've really been hearing that shorter frames are better for urban trials, which is what I do.

Ezg_Cannuck Posted March 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 Adamnt *** i ride a long and it just owns!! Really smooth riding and has improved me no end!! What type of riding do you do primarily? Urban or natural. Also, how tall are you? I'd just like to have more of an idea of how I will fit with this bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
