Wow this sounds so typical, but here it goes. I started riding biketrials about 2 years ago, at age 44, so my learning curve is a little slower than most. Not really because of age but because of work, family, life in general. My progression has been pretty steady though and I thoroughly enjoy the sport. I also ride moto trials, (some 30 years at that), but I find that a lot of skills do not cross over. I'm currently riding a Adamant A-1 front disc, rear echo's, pretty much a stock Webcyclery setup. And it's been holding up very well for me. I also have a A-3 mod as kind of a backup bike or for something a bit different. Although I registered here quite a while ago, I just kind of lurk here occastionally. I thought I'd finally post something since OTN is down. I really like the fact that there isn't so much garbage on this site. Thanks, and glad to be here.
