Revolver Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Huh, did you buy it new just to sell on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 The brakes are a bit iffy in my opinion, but if Deng would just put some more sweep on his bars he would have an AMAZING out-the-box full build! So good lookin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 as far as pure trials 24" bikes go, they are pretty dam good! Bar angle though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24martin Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 i'm in the process of saving for one of these, (frame only though) they look rather tasty i want to give one a try! also what do you think of the tr front disc brake? i've just noticed them on tartybikes and they seem pretty good for the price, although i haven't been able to find out much about them on the forum! could you start scratching the bike up now and sell it to me in a month's time for half the price.

Laurence--Trials Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Looks pretty damn good! Whats the rear tyre, any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i like cunning stunts Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 as far as pure trials 24" bikes go, they are pretty dam good! Bar angle though!!! The sweep on these bars is rediculous thats why i have them so far forward so that the sweep is fairly straight which is how i like my bars. Considering ordering a mod stem at the moment but we'l see. i'm in the process of saving for one of these, (frame only though) they look rather tasty i want to give one a try! also what do you think of the tr front disc brake? i've just noticed them on tartybikes and they seem pretty good for the price, although i haven't been able to find out much about them on the forum! could you start scratching the bike up now and sell it to me in a month's time for half the price. They look very well made and ive heard good and bad things about them, one thing i like about it is the lever and the easy adjustment , have to wait til i have bedded it in to get a proper opinion on it. And as far as your question it might be a possiblity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as far as your question it might be a possiblity! the tr levers do look quite nifty, mite wait for a few people to test them before i make a decision on getting one though! and yea let me know when you feel like you've had your fun on the bike and i would definately consider a reasonable price it would save me a lot of mucking about if i bought a complete build rather than buying just the frame, because i wouldn't have to keep borrowing wheels and brakes and stuff of my zoot to build up the echo frame!

Andeee Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 I really like these!!!! Espicially for the price for everything deng specced. The only thing id change is the pedals to something stronger like some v8's. Now im tempted to blow my summer student loan on a echo 24". The orange scheme looks best!

Ross McArthur Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Is it just me or do bash guards on bikes with free wheels look sh!t now? Anyone fancy joining the bashless basher parade with me? As for the disc. It bites really well! Duncan, the boy who had his Echo 24 stolen (he got it back) has been doing fairly large into front gaps and the brake has been holding really well...I couldnt speak for how it feels though.

i like cunning stunts Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 First thoughts on it are it definately needs a mod stem, tyres surprised me in a good way seem quite stable and are very grippy and i am fussy with tyres and weigh 14 stone so.. Also another big surprise is the echo magura pads i can say hand on heart that they are miles better than the heatsink yellows i had on before very good bite and good hold. The bike is a brilliant buy as a complete and i am gonna stick with it just need to order a higher stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
