r2wtrials

hurts less when you fall on it as well...!!

cheers mate... yes it's nice to see them in print once in a while. all the muddy pictures..!

... i reckon he forgot the white beard for the christmas fancy dress

he is on the cycle scene... but in the trade these days. He is a rep for maddisons i think ( forgot to ask if he is still doing that mind you) .. and you are right, a top bloke. We rode the motorcycles together about 18 months ago but hadn't seen him for a while... now all we need to do is get Mr Ashton out on the moto as well

He sensibly called it a day after a lap of the trial... it was very muddy and hard going for everyone other than the top 4 or 5 guys and Martin's bike is for sale so he didn't want to wreck it!! He has a new bike on the way.

Whilst at the Southern Experts motorcycle trials yesterday i bumped into a man i haven't spoken too for a year or so.... ... for those that can't figure it out or are too young !!! It's Martin Hawyes. As you can see it was a bit muddy!! Loads of pictures are on my site if you fancy seeing grown men (and a women) playing in the mud

so do i take it there were different builds of this frame then... as i say it is +40 and rides nice as built here.

Bloody kids, always after freebies!!

Thanks for that picture... i posted the form to have a vasectomy done today!!!

Hiya Jon... will message you. The BB is +40 as built and now i have a stem and bar combo i get on with it feels really nice.... mate who has a pitbull loves it and is buying a frame with roughly the same geo.

Rides real nice.... the riders crap though! What pedals are the in thing at the moment.... and not stupid expensive.

... just good timing.

Funnily enough i was going to ask that.... i never see or hear about many other A2's. Where they short lived, crap or just not many sold? Whatever, i like it.

spot on... another lovely looking site from Cox web design.

Finaly, after pissing about with all sorts of set-up, i think i am there... only thing i definitely will change is a new headset at some point. My Adamant A2... Echo Hifi forks, Echo isis cranks, Echo rockring, Magura 33 with cnc adamant lever blade on rear, Hope mini front, Hope XC rear hub, Felt front hub, SunRhino front rim, Planet-X rear drilled, RB brake booster, Maxxis Highroller st rear, Maxxis Larson st front, white rim tape, trialtech 16/13 gears, Rolhloff tensioner, VP pedals, lock-on grips, System Ex stem, Blue Rock pads on rear, New Hope pads up front... as always thanks to TartyBikes for top service, and free stickers and neoprene No then, how the hell do you ride these things!!!

Bloody lovely.... I have the same problem with the chain on my Adamant A2, can hit top and bottom.

oops sorry, teach me to read everything when i come back on again!

Like most of the Spanish kids, he started out on biketrials and did well before moving onto the moto's this was him in 1992...

Keep it standard and safe.... never, ever put anything just for bling value. ... and here is my Beta Moto trials bike to illustrate the point. Titanium front pipe, cnc headstock, complete new graphics, white front mudguard, Jitsie anodized adjusters, cnc master cylinder tops, cnc spiked footrests, cnc oversize rear wheel adjusters, carbon fibre exhaust silencer cover, carbon fibre tank cover, carbon fibre fork guards... etc etc. errrm, perhaps you could go for a bit of bling

... just an added question. Are the Pro 2's that much better than the old XC rear hub? I have been using one for 8 years now with no problems but i do wait for the loud crack these days!! (although that could just be my knees!)

The Black Keys are great to listen to on the Ipod... but the way i ride i think i may just be listening to the voices in my head!!!

Just seen this... and some said the Ashton's were bright!! Full page info in Italian... Here at trialmap.it ... and the video of Coustellier on the homepage is worth watching as well

Just seen this today... full circle http://www.trialmag.fr/trialmag/article/89...y+a+sign%E9+%21

I had one of them and couldn't ride it like that... and still can't Ahh, must of been one of my times when i kept off TC for a while. I posted the original one on Youtube about 3 years ago but never did see the other parts.
