MikeCottTrials Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Hey, At the moment im not feeling that inspired by my riding so i was thinking when i get my next frame (which will be a while) i want something that can bunnyhop and manual reasonably well but still be good on the back wheel and for other moves like sidehops etc, so i was looking at the obvious choice, echo control but im not to good at imagining how geometry effects how a bike rides so it would be terribly nice of you guys if you could tell me whats hanging with the 07 control and give me any other suggestions for frames that have what im looking for. incase your wondering i ride a GU at the moment so thats why im a bit manual starved, its so hard to pull into manuals and bunnyhops that its just not worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'd agree with Meteor on this one, go for the 231Ti. Rode one a few days ago and it was perfect. Seems there's a Monty craze now that Beleay has gone over to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Pearson Posted November 29, 2006 Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 The one and ONLY Leeson D15C. Not taking the piss, I reckon it'd suit your needs real good.Karsonlevoret@hotmail.com, get in touch if you're interested.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 I agree with Alan, buy a Leeson, or find an old steel Megamo. Look at what Akrigg does on his... you know, having said that, I'm tempted to get one now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 An Ashton...anything around the 1040-1060 mark with a bb that isn't too high either should be good.I have always like the Levelboss too, either a 1040 or 1060. Run risers at the proper angle and make your front end a decent height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Run risers at the proper angle and make your front end a decent heightYes, exactly. None of this 'bars lower than your back tyre' shite... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted November 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 you want a bmx!! after all the insults you gave that type of riding too! lol of course the ashton is top of my list, come on, join my club and be dammed for life hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha (evil laugh)I still stick to my word that high bb is good, its just it means you can only do specific moves i just feel like branching out a bit How are ashtons for sidehopping and taps? and how hard are they to bunnyhop? i deally i want a frame i can bunnyhop with ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hi, How about a bargain Base TA 26, tarty have the frames in for 129 GBP, tilt your bars back a bit and its a not far off a big wheeled BMX that will sit on the back wheel all day.Duane.

RobinJI Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 The controls have always seemed nice to me, although I haven't looked at the geo on the new ones. One of my mates is selling a 04 control in pretty perfect condition, re-sprayed black with a few scratches in the paint, but nothing big. Honestly though, get a 24"!! mine soo much easyer to mauel and bunyhop than even really short stocks, and even with a 65mm stem and 2" riser bars is still handles as nicely on the back as alot of 1050ish stocks. They really are perfect for what you're talking about, just getting you back into it because its stopped being fun just seing how big walls you can get up. You just have fun and get out and ride, because they let you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) anything without bb rise would be best... long or short it matters not... but then again i didnt find the zenith or KOT hard to manual ?and again you can bunnyhop on any frame ...

Endohopper Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 Another vote for Base's TA26 frame . Sure , it ain't high end , big name exotica , but for the money it's a killer little frame that seems to meet your requirements . Short back end = manualable ( not by me though ) and stable and obedient on the back wheel . Just make sure you discard the supplied bashplate immediately and deny ever having touched it .
