I guarantee if you put him on a modern bike he'd hang with the best. But yeah, I wish he'd release a street vid, 3 minutes will do me. I really tried to listen to what he was saying but he just lost me, can someone summarise? About the pressures, regretting extreme career moves etc.

I know his bike polo stuff is done and it's all trials now. I'd think if you've parted with money then you're at the top of the list.

Yeah! I think the first paying customers are getting priority over us, rightly so I suppose lol.

Well it ain't me & Ross! lol.

Good stem choice, and it'll ride EVEN better with more modern forks, ironically the matching Pashley forks aren't the best for it.

On a 28mm wide D521 lol.

Best days of trials, Otherside & Toxicity were my favourites.

New heat treated trials forks, Inspired geo (410 x 35) weight is 1050g, any mounts you want, and they have a 1 year warranty! Forks can be made to any geo, but I think he has 20 of 410 x 35 pretty much ready to go. He's currently making 150 forks. Forks are $90 (£56) plus postage, standard 2-4 weeks is $40 (£25) express 1-2 weeks is $60 (£37) So call it £80 posted, or £92 posted express, these are UK postage prices. If you're ordering with a frame then there's no extra postage. Marino now accepts paypal too!

That bar angle makes me angry, and the posture it gives riders just looks so retarded, love the tights though....

Can you still buy it? Need.

Are you wearing tights?? Answer carefully.

I'm glad this topic's here, I f**king love dinosaurs. We've got an eclectus parrot, and sometimes, I can honestly see the dinosaur/bird connection.

*Sense You do know we weren't around when dinosaurs were? What killed them happened hundreds of millions of years before humans were about. Even if we were, we'd have died out the same way. And I said we're physically inferior, which we are, not less clever or able to adapt. Even small dinosaurs could kick the shit out of us. And yeah, megalodon is my number 1 animal.

Seriously though, imagine if this was alive....We really are a physically pathetic species, all the best ones are gone.

Seems everyone's on board with the idea, let's get the ball rolling & hopefully we can have a few raptors here by spring.

Definitely, especially the old sea life, 60ft sharks, 6ft sea scorpions, I'm up for that.

No problem. I think what Ali means is the slack forks will spoil an otherwise good head angle, and the added wheelbase won't make your bike any better for pure trials, it'll just move the weight further out from under you and give it sloppier steering and be harder on front wheel moves. There's a reason Echo urbans went from 45mm to 30mm, a big offset just has zero benefits.

44mm offset?? Noooooo, that's Pashley rake! 410 x 25 would be spot on.

The bottom ones I THINK are the bike polo/fixie forks The top ones look like the dirt/street ones. I think I'd choose the ones on the yellow bike, the traditional "fatty" style ones, I prefer the straight dropouts too.

I'll inform them that you're a cock lol.

Kind of agree when you put it like that, personally I'm not too bothered if I know where I came, I'm curious, I'd definitelty read a PM telling me how I did
