Definitely works better with long forks, or the BB is too low.

Nice little frame though - looks and rides pretty nice. Front end is just an 'upside down' Echo Pure, hehe (pretty much).

The BB is way too low , it shocks me every time i look at that frame :eek:
Otherwise it looks good.

i never liked it because you never told me why i might. as far as i can tell it's just another frame. look at the comments you've got so far: "yeah, that looks better now that it's got a long fork on it." basically, that the fork is what's saving the day, and the frame is just kind of there, as it always has been, because you never told us anything significant about it...

I told you this before you silly silly man - if you want something bought from you, you have to SELL it - only an idiot would buy a frame based on how it looks without knowing any of its ACTUAL properties. I suppose your market is the UK though, you might have some luck finding idiots over there.

Uhm, can I buy it in blue? Blue makes me ride better.

...and no, you'll find more idiots in NA... trust me...

how about pink? yeah, that's cool. :Wavey:

based on previous non-bike forum experience I would surmise that North America is a far stupider place than the UK, but for some reason that trend is completely reversed on trials forums. Props to you American trials riders for giving a much better impression than your president.

PS the base frame's niche has already been filled, the Echo pure looks the same, appears to be made the same, and also has a designer/promoter that FLAMES potential customers on message boards.

it looks pretty cool, the first thing that came to my mind on first glance was Echo Pure...but that's OK..looks can be misleading, maybe it's just the finish.
Is it for sale anywhere? Can you put up all of the specs?
