Twilite Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I'm sorry, but I dont like it. Might look better in real life, but I just don't seem to be able to like it :) ← Am i the only one that think its shit ugly? Dropout's looking f**king sexual, but the rest :) Thing is, i love the Echo Hi-Fi, but really dislike this thing. Each to their own i guess. Nice to see trials progressing though, especially that wierd seatpost top, with the hole horizontally. ← Phew, :)" Thought I was going to be the only one to say I thought it was ugly. I'm a sucker for Echo stuff; always liked the frames they put out, but I think this one looks like they tried to hard to make it original (which it isn't really). HiFi, Yes. This, Hell no.

Fishwog Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) I really like the frame, but as much as I want one, I think with the geometry of it all, and my height (5'9) I'd find it rather hard to ride?

SamHolmes Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Well nice :) The long gusset thing looks really good with the holes in :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 The Gu also comes in 1075mm wheelbase version. ← Yeah, I saw that. Does that mean that it'll feel shorter than, for example, a Levelboss 1065? And how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONGO Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 frames are gonna turn into a simple tube from front to back soon lol. jib the triangles off, just gimme a tube that i can lob forks through one end and a wheel on the other!!! john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I agree with bongo. Soon it will be a big monoque tube (like orange frames) going strainght from the rear axel to the head tube, with the bb in there aswell. Not sure how it could be made, and if it would be strong enough but I think it could happen soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how it could be made, and if it would be strong enough but I think it could happen soon. ← Im not engineer but heres my guess. You make the tube and inside yopu have some sort of structure inside made up of thin sheets of metal, like the ribs in michelin tyres acting as structural supports. Think it would be like reiforced concrete but in a metal tube this would let the frame take the vertical anbd horizontal stress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted April 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 I thought some thing like that would be possible. Probally be quite expensive. You would have loads of clearance aswell. More than you would need. The bb might be too high if it was a straight tube though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Its amazing what people are doing with frames nowadays, they are really pushing trials design forward which is good in my opinion, even though some frames look sick (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yeah, that's what I thought. Then I thought "But it was f**king flexy 'cos you need the strength of the triangles to resist flexing". Then I thought of food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
