Mikee Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 I really miss the mk1 fourplay I had. Probably because it was my go to bike, when I rode most frequently. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Woodman t pro, I think it had a -20 bottom bracket, 1080... rode the shit out of that bike, sold it then the buyer broke it in a month... good times on in the crescent ilions, but I would never want that shit early integrated headset again. I could make a better system out of sand and a coconut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwtrials Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 A few years ago I tracked down my first three trials bikes. Not just the same model, but actually the exact frames. My Monty X-Alp and Brisa B26 were complete just as I sold them, and Planet X Zebdi came back to me frame and fork. It was pretty fun to have them again, but the nostalgia was more exciting than actually riding them. The only bike I regret selling is the Norco Manifesto I owned a few years back. It had belonged to Ryan Leech, had his signature on it, and a couple prototype parts. The owner between Ryan and I had changed a few things, so I made a few changes. Front wheel was a bit of a throw-together. For the life of me I couldn't sidehop or gap it 50% of what I do on my current pogo, but I just didn't care, for two wheels moves and higher speed MTB/trials it was a dream. Something about it just felt amazing. There are a few lines I did on it, I've never been able to do on any other bike. It made my respect for R. Leech grow about 10000% percent. He was doing lines 15 years ago most of us still can't do, and does something like a 44" sidehop over a bar in shows. Sidehopping this thing was like trying to sidehop a bus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamAllen Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Between these 2, granted I couldn't really ride back then, and the jack flash in this pic was dead (Originally had XC/D521 rear wheel, power pro's and racelines). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Czar Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Dob magnesium with a load of (at the time) weight weenie parts, loved how flicky it felt, I progressed the most on it. had to stop riding it when it inevitably cracked though, which was a shame! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Can't decide. The Norco was the worst for trialsy stuff and I broke it from new in about 6 weeks, but it was special. They all gave me excellent times. Probably the Zebdi. Those cranks & mech went a long way. Edited March 2, 2017 by LEON 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) It was an absolute machine, I had 4 or 5, was my first proper frame after Konas, DMRs and Saracens. But the chainstays weren't great, you can see the chainstay repair in the other pic. ^^ The bottom pic is my first one, pic from 2002.

Ross McArthur Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Prefer the brisa. they always looked really expensive with the blue and red paint job options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
