FOX355-luke Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 my mate has just got a echo lite 06 frame and he loves it but says its a little heavy on the rear, but really nice to ride though.ive just invested in a DOB frame but its not arrived yet and it a little project for the summer but ive been told they are such a great frame to ride and very light aswel.but at the end of the day its up to you and depends on how much you want to spend...

matt-echo team Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi I have just bought an Echo team frame (because of snapping my T-mag) it is such a nice bike to ride although being slightly heavier at the back end. I have not currently got drilled rim at the back, but once I do I think that it will even out a bit more. I would recommend this frame.

georgieporgie Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 yeah it is, maybe it's just too small?in this case, for low price get the echo lite 1030 or the dob witch is mental light for the price.i really like my gu typhoon it's reall flicky and pretty light.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 A Pr frame will be almost identical geometry to your Ti and will most likely be heavier to boot. If you want a lighter frame you'll struggle as the Ti is a very good, light frame with excellent geometry for compy/natural riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
