  1. Right time to ring Stan and get this baby built!!!!! Thanks again
  2. Mate Smooth is not a word I would use agressive and big boned sums me up lol, the zoo all the way to go I think. Unless you can think of another frame? Cheers
  3. That is what Stan is saying at Tartybikes, It was Ali C that said he would go for the Switch confused.com lol Thanks
  4. Ahhhhhh the bike thing!!! Rockman Switch or Zoo Piranha???? what ever will feel a little simalar to my beta rev 3 Thanks again everyone for your advice
  5. Thanks fella Im not really on a budget, but dont want to chuck money away! That said im not the lightest chap in the world at 13.4 stone so strength has to be a factor. Cheers Gareth
  6. Ali That is really helpful dude! It sounds like the sort of riding style I have Stan is going to kill me lol Im being so indecive. I just want to get it right and not waste money. I used to ride a BMX years ago 24yrs infact but I would imagine the Rockman would be simalar to that style of riding too. Easier to pull 180 up the local skate park and have some fun on the half pipe as well as more tradional trials sections. Shall I say to Stan you have given me some advice? I dont want to drop you in it. Cheers Gareth
  7. Just wondering what hubs you would go for Hope or Echo?? And what rims while were at it? Cheers Gareth
  8. Ali Thanks for your commment fella. So you think the switch would ride more like my Beta, to be honest thats what I thought when I first looked at the geo of the frame. I think Ill have a good chat with Stan about it monday morning and get my order in, otherwise I could end up on here the rest of my life talking about it and not riding lol Confused.com Thanks everyone keep the comments coming if you can its good to see everyones angle on this. Cheers Gareth
  9. Hi I currently ride the C route and will be going up to the B very shortly in motorcycle trials! I am 13.4 stone 5.9 tall, Im getting the bike to allow me to practice during the week and to help with fitness as I find running sooooooooo boring. I have not managed to play on a 26" trials bike but I can chuck my mountian bike up steps and enjoy drop offs. I have lots of rocks and woodsections I can ride locally as well as good street and skate parks. If you can give me a further advice that would be great. Thanks for everyones feedback so far
  10. Thanks fella any advice on what components I have upto £1300 to spend and want to get it right first time!
  11. Hi There What frame would you go out of the 26" Rockman Switch or Zoo Piranha??? I come form a motorcycle trials back ground and im looking for something that wont feel to far off that with regards to body position etc Cheers Gareth
  12. Hi James Thanks for your feedback fella Im down in Nailsea, I might pop up there today and take a peak. Cheers Gareth
  13. Hi All Well I have decided to help my balancing skills on my Beta 250 by getting myself a cycle trials bike to practice mid week on. I stand at 5,9 tall 13.4 stone and yes im 36 so go easy on me lol I am thinking of getting a Zoo Piranha 26" short Echo SL rims and Hubs, hope trials disc up front with magura hs33 at the rear with ground rim. So do you think im on the right tracks?? All help and advice welcome. Cheers Gareth
