Right, as some of you may or may not know i packed in trials a couple of years ago and sold my bike. Well, now i wanna get a dual bike to use for street, blasting around, a bit of fun and practical riding.
Ive found a site with a Mk1 trailstar for £150 brand new and was thinking about that, but chain reaction cycles has some 2002/2003 DS1s for not much more.
Which one do you think id be better off with. I'm thinking about a 14" (hence the trailstar), i know it may be a bit low but i think the 16" might get in the way a bit when im having a blast around on it.
How stiff are the stays on both frames? As quite frankly, i cant stand shit brakes. Fail in that are there any new boosters about these days? (i'm a bit behind on the ol' bike gear now!) Ive got some V's but i'll probably go maguras at somepoint, unless anyones got a cheap XTR V brake going!
EDIT: One more thing, what's the trailstar like for trye clearance?
Cheers, and sorry for the essay!
Tom.
