Very nice build. What do you think of carbon rims? How does it feel?
Shame about all these things you have gone through to build the bike. Seems TMS still don't know how to build frames...
I would only recommend Hope. I have tried several brand and models and none have convinced me as well as the Hope Tech Trial. But that's my opinion of course.
You have a point there. But the way bikes were doesn't define how people ride it. Back in the day, people ride pure trials on these, now it's much more streetier with rotations, etc... And I am not keen on that
Wow, I don't get it...these things people ride are 24" BMX with lower handlebars... I am not looking down on it! It's just what it looks like and how people ride it. No need to use any kind of reverse psychology based on how I behave here 10 years ago. But since you seem to know what I meant better than I do, then please forget it.
Just so you know, carbon and epoxy composite oxydes aluminium. That's why manufacturers put kevlar in between thèmes well as making it hold together when it cracks. So watch that fix very carefully !
