I am new to trials riding. I've enjoyed watching the sport since I was in middle school in Japan, though at that time it was all moto trials (that was in the mid 70's after all!). I've got an older Norco Evolve (bent top tube, with seat). I don't plan to compete, and will probably ride mostly in urban settings.
I'm looking at replacing the frame with a stock frame that is a little more inspiring. From looking at some of the 'long vs. short' frame discussions I'm thinking I'll be looking for a standard (not long) frame in that magic 1065-75 range.
Suggestons?:bowrofl:

I just got my echo control a week or so ago and have loved every minute with it. Very nice frame, horizontal dropouts so you can run single speed without a chain tensioner, it has a one piece bb yoke for extra strength, Built in brake booster. I think the short is a 1065, i got the long 1085.
