BIG L Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Mmmm that is a hard one. I would most probaly go for the gu thypoon as it looks better and is very strong but the echo team is a brilliant bike and is super strong i think a bit more than the gu. But it is not me who is getting the bike it is you i would think about it all night and come to a final decision tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King C Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 The main question you need to ask your self is if you want a bash plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 only you can answer that question mate, we can't tell you if you like the ride of one of the bikes and how it feels. we can help you out with may be the pros and cons, but in the end its you who is the one who will have to ride it so you shouldn't let other people decide for you really. go out to a ride and have a go on both of these bikes and decide which you like the best.one thing i can tell you is that both bikes you have to use snail cams unless you take an angle grinder to chain tugs, and snail cams are absolutely shit. also unless you get your back wheel set up properly, with snail cams that dont slip your tyre will rub on the chain stays with the gu frame.

mr_gubike Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 Hi, Ive got a short gu and its the best bike ever in my opinion.... alongside the Ko Bike The gu offers alot my control over the bike than the echo I think, and everythings seems easyier on a GU.The first day I got mine i thought sidehops were really hard due to the high bb, but 2 days later everything was fine and its really good for sidehops now.Cheers,Abdab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
