jambo Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) Fancied a wee change from my yaabaa 1499, so decided to jump on the echo bandwagon. Made a few changes after riding it, pretty much got carried away on tarty. new echo tr pedals(originals were cracked), heatsink pads,echo tr clamps, sl washers, gold ti bolts, new trialtech foams and gold bb spacers. I also did away with the trialtech spacers to get the bash lower and closer to the frame, should be even stiffer now.

jambo Posted May 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Looking nice James. Lets hope you do it justce at the comps. Good weight too. Hopefully i can get used to it quickly for the comp this weekend. My first impressions of the bike are good, sits on the back wheel stupidly easy fells very controlled. Went for my first ride last night tried a few lines that are on my limit of what I can usually manage and pissed them and that was with the hangover. Placebo effect of a new bike perhaps, who knows?

JD™ Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Going to miss your purple monster though. couldn't resist. Not often I'm liking comp machines these days, but this is pretty swish. Totally understated, which I like - it's like it's just there to do a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
