Thurston Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Alright people I was doing a bit of searching for Zoo!, Gu n Echo but I see there doesn't seem to be very much about them anymore, I know trials has evolved since my day, I just didn't realise how much, makes me feel old Can anyone shed some light on the affair? Also, does anyone still have a Zoo Python 2005 short kicking around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think Echo are still kicking about, they still have sponsored riders like andrei burton and TRA, maybe the other companies fizzled out, i think tarty bikes are still selling Czar though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 They thinned out their range a bit - the ZOO! stuff fell out of favour a bit as the geo wasn't quite rose-tinted-glasses enough for some people. They still put out GU frames and bikes until recently, but the Echo range expanded a bit and basically covered what they were offering with GU too. The GU bike was a lighter, more high-end type bike, but their latest SL Pro/Ti Pro bikes were almost the same thing. Czar is their street-orientated line, and covers street trialsy type stuff and some more MTB/street cross-over type stuff too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurston Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Think I'd go for an Echo SL if I was to buy brand new May see if anyone in the wanted section has a half decent 05 python Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
