Hi, I'm gaz...

A long long time ago, on some pallets far far away, I started riding trials... Would have been about 2000/2001 back in the days of Eddie tongue and Martyn Ashton, and as far as I know, the early days of 20" trials, or "mods" as they now seem to be called...

I had a monty x-hydra, I rode it nonstop for about 2 or 3 years, got pretty good at it for my age (at least I thought I was pretty good) but to cut a long story short, I turned 16, got a motorbike on the road and never since...

So after a few years of wanting another, I finally bought one this week!! It arrived today it's a shogun gimp (don't laugh) I know it was a naive buy but it was cheap, and with various car, bike and motorbike projects on the go, cheap is key!

First problem... It's got a 20" bmx wheel in the back... I didn't realise this when buying it from eBay. Photos lie!

So my first question is, does anyone have a 19" wheel they wanna sell..?

Second problem... Does anyone know where I can get the spec on the bike or know anything about them? It's an older one.

Third problem... I've forgotten how to ride the damn things!

Thanks for listening, you've been great...

I too have just got a shogun gimp after getting back into trials about a year ir so ago. I finished riding trials back in 2000.

Last year I had a monty street 26" for a while but sold it to get an xc bike but now got the gimp as well. I find it really easy to ride, easy to keep it on the back wheel the big fat maxxis creepy crawler helps!
