Sounds like a mint bike to me. You buying it new? If I were you, I'd be thinking about a good 2nd hand bike. There's some good bikes in the for sale/wanted section of the members area. I'm always looking in there for cheap stuff. Find it 80% of the time aswell.

changing from stock to mod is a great idea lol i might be only saying it because im a mod rider but o well, but at the end of the day its up to you. the bike looks great and the stats are mint.

Neither can I. I just go on the persons profile, see if they have MSN or some form of contact details and ask them questions via that.

Mate just got that Echo frame. He's says the front end is too low, but he can fix that with new forks (longer steerer) and stack more spacers under stem. I did have a go and to me its seems fine but I did have a Trex which also has a low front end. You'll get use to it though as will my mate .

If you run Maguras (I think its magura only) The frame flexes quite a bit but a brake booster eliminates this of course.

How high the front end is, is determind by the fork lenght, stem, bars so obviously its his set up that the problem with why the front end is to low. If your going to change just buy a half decent 2nd hand bike as if you dont like mod then when you sell it you wont loose as much money if any at all compared to if you was to buy a new bike.
