sxbud138 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Echo Control, Rockman Slate or Rockman Kortz. What kind of riding do you like ?I have a kortz and love it but I came off of mods and I like the high BB bikes. The kortz is light and has a sturdy rear triangle.I have also rode a control short and liked the feel of it. its way more stable on 2 wheels. Both bikes seem to be built very well and the slate is going to be outdated very soon.My 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Is this your first bike? What are you coming off of? Those are probably the most important questions, because if the answer to the first question is "This is my first real trials frame", then it cancels out the 2nd question. You honestly won't benefit from either frames geo over the other if it is your first real frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee09 Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 ive been riding an Adamant A1 Frame for past 6 months but i find it far too long for me so looking at something shorter and lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 ive been riding an Adamant A1 Frame for past 6 months but i find it far too long for me so looking at something shorter and lighter.So not a Kortz and most likely not a slate.... short control it is then.

Jan Tore Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 (edited) I just bought a long Control. Everyone says it rides nice, and since I was looking for a new longer frame, I chose to go for it. I really don't think you can go wrong with it.Edit: the short one in your case.

Filo Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 get the control.there a really nice frame,its good you can get them in short and long. after a while on that youll probly want to go back to a longer frame,i used to love the short frames,rode them for ages.i then broke my frame and got a long frame.now i love the long frame.i mainly ride natty,so the longer frame is better suited to how i ride.

Normally, a short frame would be better for natural, since it's more maneuverable and easier to handle around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Normally, a short frame would be better for natural, since it's more . maneuverable and easier to handle around,that more relates to street.i feel the longer frames are much more stable on natty,the length is better for bridging gnarly natty lines. i think shorter frames are to twitchy on natty.in the last 6 months ive ridden street once,and my current frame which is much longer than my older frame feels heaps better. thats just my feelings on the matter.
