  1. 5 free days of the week and plenty of experience in Sony Vegas. I may as well document it, since i'll be doing it anyway. I shall report back in a few weeks haha.
  2. Hi guys, I finally managed to get a bike after looking around for a while. I couldn't sell one of my MTB's so traded it for an Inspired Fourplay frameset with nice wheels and okish stylo cranks. I am currently waiting for Hope brakes and cranks to arrive and I am considering buying a camera (maybe a GoPro, not sure yet) to record my progress. I have NEVER ridden a trials bike, I have not even ridden the one I have bought yet because the brakes were so god damn awful on it. Would anyone be interested in viewing such a video? They would go as follows: Pick a technique (in this example lets just say rear wheel hops, that seems popular) Take the bike out, setup a camera Practice in front of camera until I nail it Stitch the many hoursdays/weeks/months/years of footage together, cutting away useless segments and making it a time lapse Post it There will not be a whole lot of talking, mostly just me failing over and over and over again and again and again. Seems like a neat way to document progress.
  3. That explains why Moorelarge are only selling their MTB frame/bikes at the moment, besides old stock like you said. I'll try and FB groups, never thought of that! I will also stick around here and see what I can find, I am hoping to get a frame/fork for under £250. Or if possible trade one of my mountain bikes for a full build, that means I will at least get something higher end.
  4. PM me pics and stuff if you have them. I have already sent a bunch of messages to some pink bike dudes but the ads were months old so doubt I will get anything back.
  5. I have been wanting a trials bike for some time now but can't for the life of me find any 24" frame/forks second hand. I actually work in a bike shop so getting a complete trials bike is not a problem, however the brand I have access to is Onza and for some reason the distributor just stopped selling frames (wtf?) and you can only buy complete bikes. I have yet to use my Hope staff voucher so I want to avoid buying a whole bike, since I can get a nice build for less money than literally anything retail on the market. Does anyone have good resources for buying used frames? I have tried Gumtree and even on here but not a whole lot exists. It seems crazy that a new Onza Zoot (full build) goes for £400, that's an awful lot to strip down and spare bin all the low end parts.
