bing Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) so the echo team frame is cracked on the bb shell, sorry about the gash pic, it's cracked between the two welds so I now have an 09 onza blade, it rides so much nicer and is considerably lighter now. only things I've changed from the echo are an Mpart headset, echo booster and new Cnc heatsink yellow pads. my riding improved 100% in one day up Shipley glen with neil Robbo and jed hesling geo measures at 1015, 360 cs, +55 bb. it's 20mm less reach than the echo, therefore 20mm less wb based on the same head angle. it's miles better up on the back wheel, so much so that I learnt how to gap in about 10 mins flat. wish I had bought one of these to start with many thanks to josh barker for the frame, and dan cox for booster and pad backing, and for motivating me to get better Edited December 31, 2012 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 No worries. Looks good apart from the YMCA pedals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 they are wellgo plastics, with metal screw in studs. they were £12 and they are 200g lighter than those black ones I had on before. I'm a fairly gentle rider so I can't see me smashing them. for 12 sheets I'll just buy another pair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shercofray Posted September 12, 2012 Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 Change the grips and pedals and would look a lot cleaner and nicer imo.. We'll have to ride Leeds again soon bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 yeah, have settled on mod now, can do more stuff on it, just needed to find one that felt right. the inspired was no good for comps. wish I'd stuck to mod when I had my python, but that's life. other priorities at the time. my riding has improved ten fold since I got this.

bing Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 updated a bit now, changed to a lighter front wheel, 03 hs33 with Cnc lever, coust front brake pads, new onza pro series rear wheel, tensile 60 click ffw, black mongoose grips and black wellgo flatties. it's built on a budget, I could get it maybe 5-600 grams lighter by throwing 200 quid at it. but 8.4 kgs will do for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Nice front wheel, which sexy guy drilled those holes ? Looks good apart from the 70's colour styling maggy levers and bash.Did a photoshop because I was intrigued. And I can't do silver on photoshop for the life of me so the bars and stem are kinda grey ish haha. Looks way bettttter imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) so here is an update, have gone dual disk now. got a 2012 shimano deore,with a 180mm rotor, and a new rear wheel. its an onza pro diamond rim on a viz disk hub. i have also sprayed my front wheel matt black to match the rear wheel, it looks miles better now. its rides amazingly well now Edited November 22, 2012 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Looks lovely, only thing I'd change now is the white bar/stem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Chandler bing with the new found style in bike colour schemes! None of the multicoloredness! Love it! Silver stem and bars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Looks lovely, only thing I'd change now is the white bar/stem! when i get new bars, which will be high rise trialtechs more than likely, i`ll spray the stem to suit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) So here is another evolution, The major mod now, is that i have upgraded to saints front and rear, on 180mm ice tech rotors. These brakes are unbelievably good, and have the best feel of any brake I've ever had. I'm a definitely a fan of dual disk now, didnt like it before, preferred a hs33. Not any more. Double disk all the way Only proper thing I could do with doing now is a freewheel with higher ep's, but after reading seabass's ffw thread I don't think I'll bother, nowt wrong with my tensile 60 click Edited December 31, 2012 by bing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Saints for the win, I think you can understand now what the hype is all about? Anyway nice bike man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
