I had a ride of a similar one and didn't think much to it, it felt 'lazy' The 5mm BB difference actually does make a difference.

Danny00135 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'll add, "if money was no option" I'd be really dissappointed with my bike in this case. One of the reasons I love mine so much is i've put so much time and effort getting it to how I want it, Getting it all shiny done for me would take away the enjoyment for me.

BradJohnson Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Echo 24" 2013 frame. Reset ISIS Ti BB That BB isn't compatible with the new echo frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? I've had a go on Ross', which feels the same as my ideal build would do, but with a slightly different spec felt amazing. So so so nice on the rear wheel, goes to front like a charm and shoots up to rear. I can sidehop it miles better than my mod/24" too. Fit me so well. Instantly comfortable on it.
