Urpedigreechumdog Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 That's how we like it, but still not quite as impressive as my bb shell in my echo es4r, nearly hanging off :lol: Bloody tin foil frames :(" But seriously my echo had been through 3/4 owners and about 1 and a half years of abuse so i expected it to die.

Nick Garland Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Isnt it something to do with when seatstays join on the back of the seatpost theres ALOT of pressure, which is why companies like Koxx weld them to the top tube if you notice so the pressure is more spread out or something. Anyway unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiTrials Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 my black one cracked on the chainstay within 5 months, now riding the new ones i'm soon gonna be on my third but you have to remember who does 360 spins off 6/7ft every weekend and no front wheel drops thats puts imense pressure on any frame. talk to the guys at saracen they are really sound blokes.
