Alex Dark Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Spec looks fairly good , frame would be the thing I would change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 1065mm wheelbase? From memory they were low BB and slack HA (+0mm/72* perhaps?) but otherwise lots of fun. Ride it as is for a little while until you get a feel for it all again, at which point you'll soon figure out what needs to change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I doubt many on here have even heard of Megamo before haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteHull Posted August 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Yeah frame is just to get back into the swing of things then I will change it I'm 35 probably not got many years left riding anyway haha. And yeah megamo blast from the past haha any advice on different frame as I want to just switch frame and not buy a load of new wheels etc.... thanks Edited August 29, 2018 by PeteHull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 That frame will be 135mm spacing , so I would personally look at a 2011-2015 echo pure 26”. Everything you’ve got will be compatible , it’ll be lighter with more modern geometry that won’t be too extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 As someone who rode multiple koxx (hmmm...) the 1065 lb, 1085? xtp and still have an 1100 levelboss... I am also similar age... What do you want to ride? How much money do you want to spend? You can have great fun just as is. No need to spend any money to have an awesome time riding your bike, a bike that is a total shredder. Any new pure trials bike will send you puking. It is because they are no longer bicycles, your levelboss was one of the last competetive almost normal bikes. Todays comp bikes cannot be ridden around aside from hopping on the rear wheel, I strong suggest you avoid buying one before you try one. Why get an 03-06 echo??? You’ve already got a 02 levelboss. That would be like buying donut holes when you already have a donut. cheap- buy a short/high 80x40 stem and arcade risers and put on the level boss. should make it easier on the back, anything to get that front end up will transform the ride. You will want that set up for my next suggestion- get a used hex frame. I know of people who come back to the sport and are off put by todays “bicycles” so much they write off trials until they find out about the hex. Any generation one is a great bike, you will thank me when you actually ride around and find that blissful smile bicycle riding will give you after 10 years. Welcome back, you’ve got some years left !!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
