Saddle = endangered species ?

Not sure if I've ever seen a Base TA26 frame posted here - U.K company , presumably standard Taiwanese catalogue parts , but rumoured to have geometry similar to Echo's famous Pure frame ( previous seattube version . ) It's also inexpensive and strong ... and uh - y'know , heavy .

Was black , but resprayed to cover scratches ( yeah - I'm a smooth rider like that . )

"Pro" stem . Yeah , anything called Pro must be awesome , right ?

11715

Custom unique modified signature tensioner ( O.K , that's a hairband :momaru: )

11716

Now with Azonic riser for spinny , streety happy and fun . Yeah - cheesy movie poster , wannafightaboutit ?

Geometry is ideally suited to almost landing upon elderly Dutch citizens .

Overall , it rides pretty decently , the short rear end makes it stable and obedient on the back wheel and the bike's great for streety trials .

Nice, only thing I don't like about it is te blue sidewall on the rear tire. :dunno:

Where about's in Holland are you??

From 2002/2003 ithink. I strengthend the brake by putting a v brake booster on aswell as the magura booster wich works really well was really light and short amazing bike for the price

[beastoftheeast]

i was thinking of getting one of those a while back for something streety, looks like a sweet bike for the price. liking the white/blue.

bryan your seat scares me, at least put on a normal mini seat or hack the seat tube off or something...

yeah it always just looked like the run of Pures that Echo fucked up by getting the downtube and toptube mixed up.
