Right seeing as that giant thing (see my other post) is a no go, what now? Has to have a saddle and can be used for skate park and hopping. *Grandad mode* When I started out it was simply, buy a 12.5 gt bike and strip it for the frame, but now days it's so complex. We never had bash guards in my, we made them out of paint tin lids. I already have a T-raptor which rides ok, but its naff looking polished with blue graphics (I snapped the back triangle on the original grey and blue). It was my first and only proper trials frame we are talking four years ago people. I like the Giant, but finding one is the problem. Zebdi once again no longer made and the same with the Orange Zero. Base? Some of you like it, some of you complain it snaps. Anyone got a mad pink one built up they can post a pic of? Anyway is it really that easy to break? I really can't think of any other frame :0( I just got a new set of Fattys, my hope wheels are ready so all I need is a frame. I'm off home now so will be back on in a few hours be good to see if anyone can find or come up with a frame I'll like. Cheers peps

I've had mine a while, at the time facelifts were serious £££££££ so I opted for the pre. I'm running K-pro, blueflame exhaust, AEM V1, JDM spec anti roll bar, mugen grille, facelift seats and rear lights. Amazing car for the money, but getting tempted to go for a DC5 now prices are falling.

They are also now being distributed by Moore and Large so expect to be able to bikes/spares from anywhere that currently stocks haro, schwinn.

Power pro cranks, v8 pedals, bog standard silver hub..... If you had full hope, better cranks with v12's and matching Maguras I'd snap it up, but I'm a tight git (Why else bid on a ebay frame lol). Thing is I already have raceface cranks, v12's, lots of nice various brakes and hope wheels sitting about so I just need a frame and prob another set of Fattys Nice looking bike so I'm sure someone will take it off you hands

You had it on ebay? I'm sure I've seen this for sale. Looks in great condition, but the parts look a bit basic so I'd only be interested in the frame.

I looked at base, but Joe Mather off here said they snap also Leon neil said he wasnt to sure about strengh so I stupidly looked at his recommendation. He said he just skimmed the page and didnt notice the dodgy features, and I did the same so my own fault for bidding without questioning the bash plate or drop outs. Base is still an option as I'm not buying the giant unless this guy can prove it's genuine.

Yes, prob before you was born lol. Seriously they did this kinda style quite a while ago, but minus bash plate, and the other things I mentioned. I just saw trials and it looked like the one till you look closer lol. Win some, lose some.

I'm giving the guy a chance to reply, but I will prob retract on the grounds of it not being a real giant trials.

Yeah got a couple of them lying about. Ones snapped and the other is due to so I wanted something shiny and new lol Just a bit concerned that some how or other someone has created a fake giant trials frame. Come on someone tell me this is a rare prototype or something lol.

At the grand age of 26 I decided I wanted to ride trials again. Being a bit of an old school street/trials I'm not into anything without a saddle so mate said how about a giant. Sent me a link I placed a bid and won. Problem is I'm now seeing things that I don't think should be there and a few peps emailed me through ebay saying it was fake. Bash plate, drop outs, longer than average seat tube http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1 What do you think?
