3 of my quite large collection of frame drawings

I like a bike that fits, for me my 1055 ashton seems really good, but people are all different, so frames will fit different people. I had a 1080 control and it was obvious to me that it was too big, but to some people it will be just right. Another problem is that people dont realise that frames can actually "fit" them! they just think they need a super long frame because lots of other people use them, frames shouldnt be one size fits all, you dont do it with clothes, so why do it with bikes? Anyway, when you do find a frame that actually fits, everything becomes nicer, street, bmx, natural everything is possible and you will have a huge smile on your face, I am enjoying riding more than I have ever done at the mo.

errrmmm..........NO! please say your being sarky have you ever ridden natural? doesnt sound like it. street is waaaay more repetative than natural, a 45" wall is just like any other 45" wall. But I challenge you to find me two big rocks exactly the same.

I dont think its that bad looking, infact, I think its a lot better looking than a lot of bikes, but I think its like marmite, you either like it or hate it. and dont diss the bash its an awesome peice of work Matt, I never really liked hope stuff before, but the nwer stuff (hubs etc) are mintybobs!

give me a nice big pile of rocks and I will be happy riding it for months

I rode mine snapped for 6 months it will be fine

I had two snakes, they were cool but a little boring, they didnt have any character. I also had 4 ducks, they were ace they purred like cats when you stroked them.........shame the foxes got them my mum wants to get a donkey if she does I might persuade them to get a pig as well, I love pigs

high bb frames are glorified pogo sticks, theres more to trials than back hopping you know! if you havnt worked it out, I HATE high bb frames but its all personal preference really

ha ha I need to try harder

dont forget me!!!!! oh wait, I aint going DAM!!!!!

aparrently master and elite riders are allowed to ride proto frames, but thats not the case in other categorys. iolo went and built up his koxx a day before the trial to allow him to ride, yet he still won on a frame he's not used to, what a guy! I aint gonna get too involved in the gear chat, but I made sure I had 6 working gears just incase...

pythons are THE worst riding bike I have ever been on, so I would deffo reccomend swapping! Montys are shorter, but they are the only mods I actually like the ride of, they seem to fit a lot better. Alternatly, you can do the decent thing and get a 26" you wouldnt regret it!

I never really understood the whole left foot forward but right footed lark

tom, I think you left your glasses at my house.......... blast me a pm with your addy and I can post them to you or somthing

well, in that pic its got latex innertubes front and rear, magnezium pedals with ti axles (saved over 300g over my atomlabs!) got a titanium axle bb, no booster, titanium ck crown race, etc, it all adds up....I weighed it on my digital scales

yep, here is the latests pics, it rides soooo well! weighs about 23lbs sorry about the quality
