bought it new without brakes, but i got the original 180mm rotors the elixir 5 uses, may aswell use them since 18vs160 is quite big difference in stopping power and modulation imo

well, my hair is pink so i don't think my bikes colours are the first things onlookers think about

heh, the colortheme is made from superstars components about £110 for everything purple/green, just wanted to try it out and got the original black stuff if i get fed up she's hopefully willing to learn to ride it :> (will see if shes devoted to it)

i'm a newbie but have a steady income and like stuff for me and my girlfriend to be bombproof i ride the skye most of the time, she rides the fourplay 180mm rotors will be equipped on the fourplay once adapters arrive. Edit: finally motivated enough to bring my photo equipment home from a friend. changed back to original seatpost and saddle, got too much with the blueishpurplish saddle... will use the purple seatpost if i can find a smaller black saddle with rails though.

heh, well yeah, it didnt turn out as aweome as i imaginated, but surely there's worse builds imo.. but as i get it trials people only seem to like "badass" builds in black or raw that screams "yeah, im a though mothafker, bitches"

hmpf :/ oh well, guess i'll post it again next summer if i trash it enough to motivate a new paintjob this season

phew, why does everything have to be so friggin though compared to how it looks once mastered?

heh, i'll choose to translate that into "grym" in swedish (cruel) but also "awesome"

hm, not really, my hair is pink and the bike is supposed to be orange/purple,.. only colors that plays well with orange is imo purple or green, and hopes team green kinda destroyed it for me

my skye does it for me. Hope rotors on its way (need to have spares i reckon) got purple superstars "excel" grips with orange lockrings/barends but they're too fat for this kind of riding so a set of "supagripa" in the same colors are on its way ah, will look something like this but with ^that^ saddle and these grips, only smaller:

so, yeah, uhm, yesterdays riding got me to invest in some spare rotors... http://youtu.be/US8rSUeUteo

First day ridingt my Inspired Skye, 4th day riding a rigid bike since highschool, will be fun to see how much progress my "old" and broken body can do this summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVOUtG3scPo Edit: seems the first clip got f*ked up, the video freezes but starts again at 1:47 EDIT2: fixed video

Finally got my demo ridden skye, about £1000 discount for some marks in the paint, with new rotors, pedals, handles, seat etc too bad i didn't like handles of pedals at all, so i borrowed superstarsstuff from my demo 7 until my latest superstars order arrive on wednesday Edit: some "updates" made on the skye: Got a fourplay pro with hope trialzone for the girlfriend (and me), 180mm rotors will be equipped once adapters arrive.

ahm, strange forum, totally avalanching offtopic discussions seems to be totally fine?

i got hold on the Inspired skye for a £1000 less than retail. got to say i was impressed, much brakes for £75, we'll see how much better Hope Trialzone feels, i can just compare them to Hope Tech M4's, Mono M4's and Tech V4's, Elixir R etc on DH-rigs. for a beginners street/trials bike they worked fine after a proper bleed and setup.

Got a Demo ridden Inspired Skye dirt cheap from the retailer here in Swe, think it'll do in this thread once i've got to put my hands on it, a hint, it won't be boring. anyways, here's my "old" Onza Zoot DD, had it for 6 days... Elixir 1 brakes, Superstar Components through pin pedals and Excel grips, 180mm rotor up front.

Onza Zoot DD, first trials oriented bike ever and first hardtail in 10 years, stock grips where thrown after 5 minutes riding it... Superstars Excel grips and Nano through pin pedals on their way, and a pair of Elixir 1 brakes as well. first day of riding it was a pleasant surprise, took a while to get used with the long stem but after that i did manage to jump up some stairs, sidehop ~35cm and some other basic stuff. (my body will hurt so much tomorrow)

did you send the cash with the free option @ paypal? i imagine always getting the seller to make an detailed paypal invoice would be better in terms of spotting the fraudulent ones, costs a little but would be legally more binding than a using the "send money to friends and family (NOT FOR BUY/SALE)"

i've recently got me a pair of these: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mobile/MobileModels.aspx?ModelID=71082 only used them while testing out my dh bike around town but they're worlds apart from regular skate shoes in terms of sole/ankle support.
