Gandalf the Yellow Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 (Y) wow that is real sexy, loving that long 'gusset' thing running down pretty much half the frame.... not sure on the dropouts though, doesn't seem as 'proportional' to the rest of the bike, might be because it looks too plain. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Pie Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Looks really nice. Is the bb really +60 though? Or is that just OTN? It doesn't seem 60mm up (Y) But whatev, it's a picture I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Is the bb really +60 though? Or is that just OTN? It doesn't seem 60mm up (Y) ← It is indeed. They also are available in 1075mm and 1100mm wheelbase. The 'Gu' forks (as seen on the bike) should also be in the country shorty :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Jordan Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 looks nice. Really like the dropouts. Have echo changed their fixed rear hub so it has wider spaced and smaller flanges (liek a try all), if so when is this out. Cheers, George (Loving the name.

JonMack Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 This is not an Echo frame, but "GU" as you can see on top of the so-called seat tube. New brand from Deng and his crew. So... its not an Echo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Aren't they control forks? That were taken off the tarty bikes website today? No comprendo. Bike looks sweet though, how much? (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted April 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 No its another brand from the same guys that do echo/zoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Aren't they control forks? ← Nope! Control forks: 'The old 'Pure' fork is now 400mm in length, with the new 9mm disc mount, and is called the 'Control'. Ideal for those who like the looks and ride characteristics of a fork with curved blades. Weight is 740g, with V/disc and disc only options' The Gu fork shown on OTN has a CNC machined crown, and also is anodised black (by the looks of things) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 It's NOT from Echo it's done by "GU". Will be available in the UK around the end of MAY to start of JUNE. The forks will also be available at the same time. I personally think the dropouts are the nicest part to the frame, it really looks nice, can't wait to get them (Y) Phil.

Trebor Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 It's NOT from Echo it's done by "GU". Is that just like saying Zoo isn't Echo then? Just that it's got the same style background in the pictures, all Echo and Zoo parts etc? Has Deng had anything to do with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
