Bigman Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 For those who saw the pics of the new echos i posted up a while ago, well the echo site has now been updated, with pics of a fully built Hi-Fi, and as i am so nice, here is one of those pics: Looks so much nicer fully built. Oh, and also there are new forks and cranks on echos new site, the Hi-Fi and new team forks feature a CNC crown, and are curved, yet only 400mm which is nice to hear, go to Echo Bike for a ganders, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Sweet! :o Im guessing the frame requires quite a lengthy, high rise stem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobnobs Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Cranks and forks look lovely. Not sure about the strength of the forks where the cnc bit meets the fork legs though, looks a bit weak :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 This is the prototype model. Please don;t say anything about the chain :o" it's great isn't it. It is unbelievably nice to ride on the backwheel, I'm still getting used to it, doing the competition on sunday didn't exactly help me to get used to anything, and Ive only ridden it once before that, but it's so stable, It feels like I can do anything with it, with a higher bar height it's even better. Picture quality is not the best, but from everybody who has talked to me about it in person, they have said it's bloody lovely in person, it's very light and has a light feel to it when riding. I (Selectbikes.com) will be expecting these in stock at around the start of May along with the new forks, stem, cranks, bashgaurd, and team frame. Pre-orders can be accepted now, so you do not miss out - sales@selectbikes.com My bike has pretty much a load of old parts on a new frame and still looks rather nice, also, full bikes will be available at a good price. The frame is polished not cromed, just thought I would point that out. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisa Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Phil, whats the inbuilt booster style thing like? I notice your running a booster aswell. Would it be as stiff as an XTP without a booster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 This bike rides stupidly nice even with a standard echo stem, i doubt id use an echo stem designed for that bike, it rides to dam good with a normal one. On my list of things to buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher stem is definitely a good idea :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher stem is definitely a good idea :o ← Actually funny you should bring this up, as I was thinking about this, at the tyke trial at the weekend there was a rock with a big roll down, pretty steep, when I rolled down it with the back brake on skimming the front, I was amazed at how easy it felt. The higher stem should be used, as that's what was desined with the frame, I think the stems may come with the frame, I just don't have one to use, a big stacker and zoo bars wll do me for now. Phil.
