Endohopper Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 I was wondering if anyone here actually rides / owned one . They seem to have been largely ignored , coming as it did between the old Echo Urban frame and the newer generation of Controls and HiFis . Was it snaphappy like the old ES4s? Strange that a frame from such a well established manufacturer was overlooked by riders and seems to have fallen into obscurity . I ask because it's new frame time and our beloved community's For sale / Wanted threads aren't really coming up with much in the way of shorter frames , and a German site is offering the Bounce for a fairly decent price . Any experiences with 'em , or photos of full builds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 from what i hear one of the weakest frame savailable, pretty sure most people that had them only changed them due to breaking them.maybe go for a pure 1060? could even get the vee mount version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooore! Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 i've had mine a while & love it. I've snapped loads of frames but this ones held up really well. It wasn't my 1st choice of frame but now i've got it i'm really glad that the other frame was out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
