Surprised to hear that Echo is no more. They were a Guzzi dealer also. I've only been there a few times. I remember the last time I was there, I had scheduled a rear tire replacement. Got them to bring in an Excedra Max rear tire and they botched up the switch by cutting the bead on the new tire. Left me with a choice, old tire back on or a Metzler. At least they didn't charge me the extra cash for the more expensive tire. Next time I'm in Edmonton, I'll have to look up Argyle.
Let us know how the new beast rides. Remember, lots of pics.
