Hobnobs Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think they would look much better in brushed alu, and i really dont like the built in booster, its ugly. Not sure bout the head tube, its growing on me though. If they're out in the summer i might have to purchase myself one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I want..... :lol: Thats things looks very beasty, and a 55mm bb rise should a large stem be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'll agree with Danny in that the headtube looks wank, but rest of the Hi-Fi looks B-E-A-utiful :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnzaNewbie Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Is the team the still the same length as the current one? Cheers Marc :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipsy Jock Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Just noticed that the hi-fi has the pitbull bb section, should mean super short stays :lol: looks nice Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Very nice looking! would like to see them built up. Nice to see that the design is changing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Make Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Looks ace! But I will stick to Pythons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I love them....the echo's always look so shiny espically these 1's. dont know about the built in booster, a bit over the top! i want 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 I'll certainly be getting one of these new Team frames! Lushest model they've bought out ever I think! Its a large bandwaggon everybody is jumping on, but with production costs probably sky-high for seriously customised parts, its no wonder Echo have done wat Koxx have with the head tube. Never mind boys and girls, looks ace :lol: Jonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne-king Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Am I the only one who prefers brushed aluminium as opposed to polished? ← nah, i agree! over-all that looks rather nice. anyone know the weight? or have i just not read the first post properly! :sleeping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Just noticed that the hi-fi has the pitbull bb section, should mean super short stays (N) looks nice Pete ← Super short stays suck! 390mm's where it's at. However, i really do like that design of bb + yolk. :sleeping: It's also an interesting thing they've done with the bb - chainstay area on the team, maybe it will combat the fatigue + stress put on the frame from the bash plate? But yes, they do look very nice frames, some great features, but let's just hope not all frames go into the high bb, uci style bikes, something like the pure was great as a "street trials" bike, whereas the hi-fi will be uci dominated... Ah well. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 So long as its got normal tubing I shall be buying one, if its got the gay XTP style thin, hit with a stick = dent tubing I wont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corish Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 They both look nasty, The XTP's are better in my opinion and still, I don't like them. But thats just my opinion.... Corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bones_dt4 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 guys, i havent read what you lot think, but what the f**k is with those big holes at the headt tube? i know echo have always made their frames out of cheese but i didnt know theyd gone swiss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 I know echo have always made their frames out of cheese but i didnt know theyd gone swiss ← Hmmmmmm... I think your talking a little bit of dog crap there likes :ermm: Take the Pure for example... such an excellent frame, will take a beating ( a hell of alot ), rides like a treat for either trials or street, last ages and looks lovely... what more can you ask for in a frame. Also the Control and Team are top frames which can take a beating and looking god damn nice at the same time! Fair enough that the old models that Echo designed were Cheese and the Bounce but all the new designs are top notch, can't really fault them one bit :) Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Just browsing, not sure if anyone's seen this one too: The 2005 control, 1 peice bb & yolk (like on the pitbull), and an integrated brake booster as on the new hi-fi, i'm not sure of any changes in geometry at the moment. Also: New hi-fi (another angle) New team (another angle) Mike. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Whats the difference between the hi fi and the new control? Just the funky headtube and more bb rise on the hi fi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I'm guessing so. I'm assuming that the Control will be to the Hi-Fi what the Levelboss is to the XTP, if you get me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
