My first New mod Echo Lite

[stinkybastard]

Pictures are of low quality. had to pry my package from the ups delivery man.
Parts arrived yesterday, was up till 2:00 in the morning assembling, cutting and threading spokes. So far Im quite pleased with the build, few lil problems like driveside bb not threading in all the way, bb spindle length too long(need a 118 for correct chainline) and the whole snailcam system is not that effective. Ill have to buy some bmx tensioners. Relatively minor.
Id really like to say how it rides, aside from hops here and there in the overpacked garage with 4 months of no riding Id be biased to say id rode bad.....it sure as hell is different than my st1.


...new camera soon to come...

looks good! Nice shop too (a little unorganized but at least you got lots of tools, plus you just built a bike so I'll let it slide :) )!

Are those lion statues?...you should set them up and ride on them.

Wasnt going for anything spectacular, silver/black..cant go wrong. Actually, i normally work alot more organized, but my bench was full of rc parts, tools. Wasnt fully prepared for a full bike build...You know what they say, In order to clean a mess, you have to make a mess:slap:

what is a facer chaser?

[stinkybastard]

Im 5 7, i have not had a chance to ride it yet(4ft snow -19) so i have nothing to say whether its too short or rides bad.......oh ya its my first mod.

so it makes the bottome bracket threats more perfect before running?

To ensure that the face of the bb allows the bb shell edge to sit 100% flush against the frame....Many shops around my area wont even touch one due the cost...for them would be like 700.00cad(ret is 1500)....I can get one from Webcyclery for 560.00usd(dont work for a shop, so me pays full retail) be roughly there cost.
Its an amazing tool that does a precise job, and removes any variables that arrise from basic bb installation
