Chris@Onza rider Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 gooday lads.im after a new frame but i have been looking around and the geo of bikes now is very varied and i dont have a clue what to go for AT ALL. So your help would be amazing.I am 5FT11" i started of on a stock then went onto a mod woodman then got a 20 inch 2004 zoo python i got pretty hot on my python with mega high back wheeling and side hops but since then i have gone back to stock and now i ride a ECHO urban which i realy like alot and love to bits but i can only gap it, i cannot do shide hops taps back wheels or nowt, so i thought a new frame would be my best bet.But.......I have been looking around and i dont have the foggiest when it comes to all this bb rise and stuff, so i have told you a bit about my build and what i have rode previously. (my zoo was the short one) I have been looking at the GU and the CZAR IVAN but i dont think that i will get on with the bb rise. i have around £300 to spend which seems to be enough so i really would like your help as i dont have a clue.So what frames best for me? im 5ft11 previously ride mod and was pretty good, now i ride a old echo urban and i am shite pretty much and if i get a bike with bb rise will this help? thanks guys Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nafan Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think you should go for an echo control personally, short or long, trialsy and streety, also an excellent frame...Or a Zoo Pitbull 06 from www.selectbikes.com if you want, not too much difference but the echo is streetier...Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I vote for the Echo Control, really nice bike! Iv got the 1065 but with fattys its more like 1070 mark, Best 180 pound iv spent (second hand) I think you can get 'em from Selectbike.com for pretty cheap, and Tarty i think! Tuff as hell, landed on the down tube pretty heavy and NOTHING! Go Echo!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyJames Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think you should send me the pedals or PM me a reason why you haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I think the new ashton frames are pretty swish myself personally, and fall well withing your budget for a good overall frame.However, if you want a stock that'll ride more like a bigger version of your old python, Id reccomend getting something longer and with BB rise. Its a personal choice about it, but personally I love BB rise, and think something like the Czar would suit you well after a week or so of getting entirely used to it and falling in love with it.
