Lewis Gething Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hey dude, welcome back to trials! As far as getting yourself a new bike, Do yourself a favour and get an Echo Pure 2011. Can' t go far wrong with that thing Assuming that you buy the full bike off of a website such as Tartybikes, you can spend the spare cash on upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlperkins Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 he wants to get the bike through the ride to work scheme, and the echo isnt included in the scheme.. i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Very similar geo between pure and the genesis, mate just switched from pure to genesis and I prefer onza a bit more. Has built on booster so rear end feels a alot more solid! Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 just built up a genesis frame with parts aquired from the forum (thanks everyone) and from my old MAD phase. so far so good. as said above rear braking is stiff enough so you don't need a booster. The whole frame seems robust but light with good angles. definitly more a comp frame. only had it up and running for and week the only issue i have had is that the bolts for tensioning the chain are a bit short but this is down to an old chain which is the next upgrade. otherwise can't fault it.
