Moda Echo Carbon 2014

[Bennai]

Currently riding a triban 3 for the last 2 years and looking for an upgrade. I have been looking at this bike the last couple of days , haven't managed to get down to a cycles UK for a test ride yet.
Currently on sale for 900 seems a good deal for the spec.

Was wondering if there any riders of one here ? And what people views are in general on this bike.

I have a feeling it will be a tad too big for me even in the small frame size but hoping it's okay.

Cheers

There was a lad who had one on the ride i went on yesterday and it looked a nice bit of kit. Ive got a 2011 Moda Finale size 52 and im 5'8" and 30ish inside leg if that helps you any with sizing.

Thanks mate.
They only the echo in small/medium
Large/X large

Only the 2 frames.

I'm 5,4" so hoping I can get away with the smaller frame.

What is the TT length and stem length? At your height, assuming legs in proportion, you'll probably want a 48-51cm, possibly with a shortish stem. You may also want rather narrower bars than stock, especially if female, and even shorter cranks

Looks like a really smart bike for the price, saw one the other day but didn't know what it was at the time.

However, why not just upgrade your Triban 3? (my favourite ever thread) http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/triban-3-upgrades.151739/

I'm just being a bit vein I think really fancy something new.
And would rather get a new one than splash a load of money on the triban

51 is what the guys in Evans said I should be looking for yea.
Not female just hobbit sized lol.
