Jake. Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Haha yeah, met you on dj and you had an orange because and got a punnie I've always loved zoo frames, this looks like a tank. I'd love it if the bb rise was just a tad higher. One of my favourite frames other than that. It's interesting how your frames colour doesn't blend.

AkuskaUK Posted June 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 I like the fact that it doesn't blend! Makes it unique (or a mis-dye) I remember you! Thanks for the pump My Because was also green, aha. The BB rise is +50, it feels perfect! The Because was a +60 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevinfor Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looks good! But whats that rear tyre? I need a new one but I'm not sure what would fit. Yours look pretty beefy though. Oh and whats it like with that stem? Too far forward or can you still bunny hop and stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Thanks the rear tyre is a Maxxis High Roller, if you get one, get the dual ply! The bike feels great to ride and still bunnyhops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bike feels great to ride and still bunnyhops Which size? I have a dual ply Hi Roller 2.35 and I think its too small and looks stupid compared to the 2.1 SmallBlock8 on the front.

Any infos about the geo and when they will be available to the public? The ones Andrei Burton was running had an aluminium steerer, as far as i remember the geo is more inline with TryAll/Rockmand forks i.e. slightly short axle to crown and rake then the current trialtech forks.

LauraPalmer Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 thanks! Geo thing sounds good sorry for threadjack btw - can´t say I like the looks of the frame too much - have one of those ugly ducklings myself - but the geo is really spot on, especially with short rake forks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkuskaUK Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 I love the "ugly duckling" look of the frame no news yet about the forks for when they will be avalible, the steerer is aluminium I think they are quite flexy though! My 2013 Echo Urbans were much more stiff than these. I'll try and get a Geometry reading for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraPalmer Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 thanks Oh - I hope that changes for the production model... I was hoping to get super stiff short rake forks with disc mount... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkuskaUK Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 Can't tell if serious or trolling... On another note, I do commute on it! It gets very tiring after a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
