  1. Sounds good, I'm waiting to get some money's in a week or so so I have some free cash to order my ticket (Yet another cool thing to look forward to).
  2. Just saying but it's Spring now so.................. After seeing the "comp scene is dead" or whatever the topic name was I just instantly thought of this (positively ) as it's just another thing to be excited for this year. I know that in the comp's no boundary is there against different forms of riding but this concept appeals way more towards other mixes of riding like street trials or TGS. A non stop section would be so cool!

    I bought one to see if I liked disc/24 when I built up my project bike and I found with the performance pads it worked really well. It lasted 6-8 week's before the caliper gave way which is a common fault apparently was well under warranty. I wouldn't skimp out on brakes though you can save money here and there but in the end you'd only regret it. I see riders building cheap bikes up and never stop talking about which parts they are going to change.
  4. I can see the effect hitting other companies but not until they get a fresh batch anyway, The increase has to benefit such as Echo and other brands based in the East who don't have to pay import and what not before sending out to distributors (I know that will always be the case to a certain extent anyway)?
  5. My response to "Stair way to heaven" is f*****g hell! Didn't think he was going to hop back down!
  6. Monty are a slightly larger company than most think too being that you see a lot of other forms of bikes in Spain and even the odd scooter cutting around so I imagine they do have a lot of product's coming from over seas now so the impact it's having on their company is going to be quite the amount.
  7. I heard about this a little while ago and they chose not to tell the riders straight away perhaps because they had to sort out what happened to the business and so on. It's pretty sad to hear in the face of it even though he was rather mysterious and no one really knew much about him his company has impacted the sport in so many ways! 38! R.I.P
  8. As above it's great seeing girls ride trials, especially when they're pushing themselves. The sport's pretty welcoming of anyone to try it just looks really surreal to anyone who's getting into the sport seeing some videos I think. Videos like this are motivational!
  9. That really sucks, a lad called Jake Wood who lives around the Cleckheaton area also got his bike(s) stolen last month! Hope you get the build done for summer, I have some parts kicking around send me a message with a list of bits you're looking for?
  10. You have a few rocks in the park to play on Should come for a wee ride in Bradford at some point. Do you have Facebook?
  11. I'm right in thinking that frame is over 2 years old now? Looks really nice by the way.
  12. I have one of these in the garage only mine might be slightly older as it's U brake only. I've been saving it for a while to do up as a bit of a project in the future. I quite like the look of them. While we was in Spain a lot of the young ones have bike with that style forks (presumably hand built frame kits).
  13. That is a strange example with a normal seat tube it would look quite nice. Instead........
  14. Made the change because his bike looked like this....
  15. I like your way of thinking, Knowing that someone thinks a bike you like is ming maybe a bike you like a little more is even worse?
  16. Ha Stephen! The video was ace I haven't seen anyone recently film at some of those spots and you're doing your own thing at each so yeah really nice to watch. Going somewhere and getting to ride places that you've seen in videos and always wanted to ride is a bonus in life
  17. So after the recent(ish) best looking trials bike threads what do people think is the worst. The only rule being it has to be a model of bike that was or still is in production and available to buy anywhere in the world with the exception of prototype frames that lead into the design of a production model (no hand made ones pretty much). Expecting some bike history here guys! Starting with
  18. Getting y'all back on track here is what I think is the best looking 26" street trials bike I have seen of recent, Then here's another Koxx this one I like because of the frame and I remember Vincent used to ride these with lots of style,

    Liked! More riders around the Manchester area works!
  20. I think these looks great, although could look strange built up.
