Possible colours. i dunno.

Hey. Knocked this one up. Let me know if you want it in vector format.

Frame courtesy of Phill Thomas off the forum. Nice one dude! This has been my little "project" for the last week. It really is a sweet trials/xc frame. super, super light. Plus i can now say that I have two ashtons 8 years apart! Pictures don't really do it justice (pardon the pun) as my digicam is out of batt. Will post up some high res pics if peeps are intrested? Spec is pretty sweet/ old skool too, mavic 521's on hope bulbs, old hope mini on the back (with hope custom mounts) 98 rock shox sidehop's on the front etc. Shame to give her away but its an xmas pressie for my lady (awwwww) as she is intrested in trials but needs a getting around bike too. lucky lucky lady. Anyways here she is!! ps. i will be riding again soon, having to work overtime is never fun! word me up Bigman!! and her grandson... Actually, come to think of it i have made my boyhood dream of owning and Ashton replica AND a hawyes replica!! (sad, but true) comments welcome!

That was f**king pathetic. The one shot we get to get trials into the public eye and the BBC balls it up.

While since i posted on here but meh, I am planning a move into my own crib in Brighton within the next 6 months or so. Just wondering what the scene is like down that neck of the woods? Anything must be better than Shropshire?! Surely?!! Is it anything like the southwest (i used to be at uni in Falmouth, Cornwall and miss it sorely.) I am well up for going out riding when i get there, so long as you dont mind an old boy tagging along! Cheers Rob

Ah cheers for the commenst guys. Went for a 10k ride on the Giant today, jeez i'd forgotten how much i hate uphills! Coming down it just sticks though, very fun indeed! Ashton looks tiny next to it, its quite amusing. Rob

Well, after finding trials was wearing a bit stagnant after nearly 8 years (and i kinda wasn't enjoying it much anymore), i thought i'd get myself a muck about bike for the hills (theres lots of em round here!) its nothing amazing, but should be ok for a bit of xc/freeriding. hope hubs, hayes discs, azonics etc for £600 second hand, not bad I rekon. Its not so much that im quitting trials. I just fancy a change of scenery. Although this beauty could be up for sale next year.... not sure if i can let her go though. Trials in my blood and all that! With any luck i'll be back into trials sometime next year. Lets hope so eh..... Hope you like Rob

The track on the dvd trailer is Troubador Session by Simply Cryptic. At the end of a day recording in the studio we just stuck our mc's into the booth and kinda blagged this track. It was sort of a free style but not, as in the randomly just bunged together a load of lyrics they loosley knew and i messed around with a beat i was working on at the time. We had one take and this was the outcome. Thats why its a bit rough... Im sure that this was all delightfully interesting to know. If you want to check out more tracks visit www.myspace.com/simplycryptic or alternatively, our side project www.myspace.com/djdalziel cheers Rob

yup yup, count me in.

Jonny jonny jonny! looking good dude! Hey didn't realise you were using that track, but it fits nicely! For anyone interested that track was a bit of a blag really, we had half an hour free at the end of a studio session so we just bunged the MC's into a booth and let em rip! Hadn't made that loop into a track yet, so i just pissed around with it! All recorded in one straight take, with lyrics from rhymes they hadn't penned yet - kinda like a freestyle but not. Anyways, thats my trivia out the way. DVD promises to be a goodun. Nice work. Rob

My Word. What a beaut looking mod. I wanna Play!! grr and you just know that its set up immaculatley. Damn you! Awesome! Rob

ashton was niceer.... but that is one helll of a bike.

Just read this on the BBC news website .... "David Beckham has decided to step down as England captain after holding the role for six years...more to follow"

Oi! looking good though nick. Good thinking.

ok. Improbably gonna be driving, and ive got a space in the car (only one mind, its a vw lupo!) so if anyone can get to church stretton (next stop on the Manchester - Cardiff line that goes through Shrewsbury) i could do with a navigator! if push comesto shove i'd pick up from shrewsbury. my msn is rathergoodpie@hotmail.com Rob
