  1. great thing about opinions , there like ass holes , everyone has one .
  2. Yeah, the Ciguena was a nice bike at the time , as it was one of the first readly avalible 24 bikes with a more trials and less streety geo , but its dated looking now looks like an over grown onza t-bird frame . This however is sleek and sexy !
  3. first 24 that dosent have a seat i like ! very nice ! x
  4. Bike looks good tris , nice to see you took my advice with a steel fame fancy a ride in mk some time ? need to have a blast on my marino too! g
  5. like from what Muel said , sounds like the bearings havent bedded properly , see if you can knock them in a bit , i have hope bearing drifts if you need them , just pm me . good luck with it. grant
  6. delicious!! how i remember trials
  7. always nice to see somthing that isnt a generic deng . instead its a custom heap , much better the frame itself , although bettered looking looks lush! would like to know what it is , custom made id imagine ? brakes and a lick of paint and then were talking , but thats not the point i suppose
  8. here is my new Marino with inspired geo . going for the twin disc option as i like the smoothness of no brake noise. still playing with fork options , want some pashley with a disc mount also im going to put a proper seat and post on it , so pm me if you have any bmx seats or posts laying about , otherwise im going to put a Eclat seat on it . hope its of some interest . SPEC: Marino - Inspired Geo Steel unbranded disc only forks Hope pro 2 trials on the rear , pro2 front , on rhyno lite welded and pinned chrome rims . hope 90mm stem with azonic 2.5inch rise bars xtr shifter with campagnolo carbon ti record rear mech raceface turbine cranks with ard guard bash ring and hope mono trials brakes
  9. i dont mind lending you my mono trials bore cap tool , if you pay the postage......and its looked after , dont like people bodging things without proper tools if they can help it. grant
  10. spot on , usualy a hope numbe 5 caliper is a 160 front and 140 rear brake . not much advantages other than clearence with a smaller rear disc , unless you weigh 7stone........? x
  11. I found zoo pads suck in the wet. magura grey pads on a ceramic im are good in wet , but all pads suffer in wet conditions , i dont uderstand how people can think pads work better in the wet ? also its importnt to keep your rims clean iguess that may be one cause to improvedbraking power , but still argue rim brakes beeing better in wet conditions a deeper grind will aways help as it will reduce surfae water on the rim and pad surface. failling all that , get a disc with sintered pads x
  12. I couldnt agree more! its nice to get back to a proper bike , not to mention going for a ride with th missus with no saddle aint much fun either 24 just opens up a few doors that are closed to tgs type bikes , more options . i love my 24 , but i still like my stock too. x
  13. Always good to have more types of 24 about , wether nice or not , more options is better than limited options. I like the matt green acctualy , but think the frames are a over engenered looking (with regards to the cnc'ing ) i have to agree though , the complete bikes look utter bollocks , i bet these could look realy nice with a good choice of components . on the whole , nice to see anoher 24 in the market . x
  14. Frames look nice , but cheep to me , finishing on themand the welds look a bit naff if im honest , but who am i to say . intersting how the effct was using the disc mount/drop out that was the same as the kot ms2 on the pre launh model and not now , yet the justice is .... anyone else notice that? sure they ride a beast though . x
  15. Looks hot!!!! quite bmx'y with the higher seat tube , i like! street is king!! cant wait to get pics of my marino up here! much likey x
  16. Sexiest stock for a while now , and not in silly 116 spacing! love .
  17. will be up around 6ish parking up theatre just get steve a text or ring we'll let you know where we at. grant
  18. shhhwwing! looks well tidy. dropouts and disc mount look exactly like that of the KOT Ms2.
  19. any body know who the first track is by? or where i can get it from? any help would be great! cheers grant
