MiuSliS Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Couple of years ago i would've suggested Deng's frames for basher street style any day, but with what he's making now, i vote for ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Was having a look at the new Echo frames yesterday, and they are really nice! Although, I would have the Ice for street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence--Trials Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've had my lynx (long) coming up to a year now, really like it. Seems strong, dent proof, cant fault anything with it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Definately the Ice. Much stronger frames and ride super nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balls Deep trials team Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 ice or the blade 2010 if you are a weight weenie iv had both and to be honest u cant tell the diffrence (same geo ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'd say none of the above personally. Try and find yourself and older Zoo model or and old deng frame. They may not be brand new but they'll be alot stronger than the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 GU TP mods have a design flaw, they all crack at the toptube or downtube mount sooner rather than later. Deng mentioned that around '08 lots of workers at the factories had to be changed for economic reasons, so the quality of his products suffered a lot. The A3 however, is a great frame! Out of those 3 original ones from the first post, I'd go for a 2011 Lite. Next would be Ice 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cant argue with that then, Pre 08 Deng frames IF you can find one. If not then ICE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 really really really don't like Ice frames, I think they are ugly and are the 2nd worse mod I have ridden (after the older pythons). I am really struggling to suggest any mods I like the feel of, I guess the closest is a Fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Good enough for me, I'll take that as a no!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 They started riding alright after they started making the back end shorter than the front end Most Lynx/Python builds I had a go on tended to have super low front ends which just kinda killed them for mod riding ("IMO"...), so I don't think that helped. As an alternative to the ones mentioned the Yaabaa 949 frame is both pretty cheap and pretty strong. Geo's decent too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
