Thanks all, lots to read and think about

Thanks guys, I'm looking into all of these suggestions!

Yeah that's the thing I liked about my Giant, it was a 16" frame so I could use it normally but also throw down the seat and do some trials. I'm after something similar to that..

Me either. I'm not sure the Giant ATX 890 was either, but it did a great job while I had mine. Will scan through the frames on Tarty.

Perfect guys, exactly the sort of advice I was looking for. The Hex looks very nice! I had a look at 2011 Giant and Cannondale frames the other day in a shop, they didn't look that nice imo.

Hey, I'm looking to build a bike for general use (nothing too strenuous!) but I'd still like to be able to ride trials. I used to have a custom Giant trials bike similar to Martin Hawes in the Chainspotting video so that's the sort of bike I'm looking to build. I'm not really up to date with bike components these days so I'm looking for a little nudge in the right direction to get me started. Cheers!

I rode from London to Brighton for charity in June this year. That's 54 miles in a few hours!

Kind of yeah, I just thought they might reduce old stock to help make way for the new bikes. I did see some Onza's on eBay, but they weren't the T-Comp (mainly) or T-mag which is the bikes I'm looking at.

I was thinking more like the shops (e.g. Tartybikes) selling off their stock. Ref. eBay I really prefer to buy things new if I can. I didn't think of that, great idea!

Will there be a sale of the 2007-2008 stock? Having never bought a bike in a sale before I was just wondering whether it's worth waiting for that?

I had some of these! Azonic risers Mavic 121's Magura Raceline D's IRC Missile tyres X-Lite handle bar endy things Club Roost risers Homemade bash guards Crud Catchers Not forgetting the videos: Dirt Getta Grip Chainspotting (this was AMAZING) Whatever the tips and tricks one with Hans Rey was.. The Martins, obviously!

Sounds good mate, thanks. If I was planning on buying the current T-Comp would you say its worth waiting until the new ones are out? 6 weeks is going to feel like an eternity!

Is there going to be a new mod bike in the £500 region? To replace the current T-Comp..

When are these hitting the stores then? I'm eager to buy a bike but I don't to be waiting forever

I like new things
