the mysterious leemur Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Would like it more in a stealth black colour and not a fan of that mod geometry , way to short for my liking will be sticking with my 2011 as long as I can (A) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 995?! Thats a kids bike right? why the heck is it so short? with the bottom bracket being that high wil it not feel odd?! liking the chain tensioners though! way easier than cams 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) 1080 for a stock? Wow that is short. Looks sick as tits in black. I bet a full build with small mango parts would look beaut. Edited August 31, 2012 by Andeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 So glad I have the silver 24". Not a fan of the Black really. Good having the option to remove the logos on the silver frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I have to agree that the logo's on the 2012 24" suck, the 24" writing looks like a sh*t font, looks out of place, and the way it is engraved, looks engraved anyway. 995?! Thats a kids bike right? why the heck is it so short? with the bottom bracket being that high wil it not feel odd?! liking the chain tensioners though! way easier than cams Onza have been doing this for years, bout time it has caught on!

Greetings Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) They're grey not black and they've been around for quite a few months now. With SL forks, the Lite full build comes out at 1010mm. I think the reason Tarty only now have them in stock is that only recently Echo got rid of that retarded 116mm spacing on 24" and 26" bikes. edit: I'm not a fan of mods, frankly speaking I hate them but those "new" Lite frames feel pretty nice, definitely not too short even with the standard 150x30 stem.

tigriss Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 what's that fu***ng short mod it's totally crazy to do a frame that short ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddsy2801 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I agree with the removing logos part, but I think the black is really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Way too short. 2011 M1 was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzo1p Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) im gonna get the full build trial its only a centimetre shorter but not so keen on the logo etching Edited August 31, 2012 by Danzo1p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I actually think that the mod geo is spot on haha! Think it would feel awesome with a good bar and stem combo! Might get one if I crack my frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkeHutchison Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 The 24" trial frame looks so nice, i would love that frame with white rims and hubs. Not to keen on not been able to remove ECHO logo though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aii_Aitch Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Might buy a 24". With that geo it should be good fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Surprised there's no disc mount on the 24". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thank god they got rid of the gay 116mm spacing. 135mm more reasons to run a pro2 ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Really want to try out one of those mod's, surely it should be flicky and bouncy as hell! Like the idea of running a pro 2 on the 24" and the 26" too, and really glad there's no disk mount for the echo 24's, rear disk for tgs is gaaaaaaay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddsy2801 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 why run a pro 2 if the freewheel is on the cranks?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 why run a pro 2 if the freewheel is on the cranks?? I run a screw on front cog. F*ck free wheels, free hubs for the champions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 F*ck free wheels, free hubs for the champions! Really though? What champions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 But if you look closely, it has always been recommended to run a FFW only. Im sure there is a way around this, filing, diffrent gear ratio ect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 My 24 is "Ffw only" and yet I got a king on just fine with 0 issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddsy2801 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I run a screw on front cog. F*ck free wheels, free hubs for the champions! in which case id totally agree with a pro 2, awesome hubs. but id rather run my freewheel on my cranks. personal choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzo1p Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thank god they got rid of the gay 116mm spacing. 135mm more reasons to run a pro2 ;-) or could run a king Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm running a king on my 24 trial 135mm spacing. Just wish they'd have added a disc tab this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
