Last week I bought a Because Simple, having got bored of the high BB on the Zhi. It came extremely speedily from TartyBikes, and looked like this.
I built it up, and it looked like this.
I took it for one ride, decided I didn't like the color, I desperately needed some new rims, and that my dyslexic brain can't deal with snail cams. So it now looks like this.
And I love it.
Slight bit of creative thought required to fit the Rolhoff without a mech hanger, but it works
Adding the Rolhoff meant weight had to be shaved off in a few other areas. Like disc mounts.
Super glue is lighter than cable guides. Fact.
All in all, pretty darn chuffed. Not all the paint has come off but it's left the frame with a kind of rough industrial look that I'm quite fond of. The Heatsink pads on Rockman/TrialTech rims are working great.
Vid should be out by then end of the week hopefully

Would be more impressive if they actually made any of the lines they were trying. Its like watching skateboarding....

Once again the mainstream media has decided to try and be hip and cool by jumping on the bandwagon. And once again they've gone and got it completely f**king wrong.

Everything about this makes me so sad. I go out and ride my bike as much as I can, and I enjoy it. That's trials for me. Things have changed, yeah, but nothing's 'dead.' Is it the hardest thing to ask that we all just accept the differences within our sport and with every other sport, and let people be?
Sorry that as a whole the sport isn't what you think it used to be. It's not dead, its just changed. And I ride a seatless bike doing one move at a time and I live in the middle of nowhere. Saying its dead is like saying that what I do is totally redundant. A little respect and courtesy on everyone's behalf wouldn't go amiss.
Cheers now.

Incredible film. Are there awards for action sports films?
Can I ask how you did the 3D titles at 2.30 onwards? I'd really be interested in seeing a tutorial for them.

the car park your thinking of maher is now a building site.
If you go over the roundabout away from the red curved walls and when you get to the next roundabout turn right and right immediately there is free parking
My thanks additionally to Joes

One of the best films of this year. That and James Hylands video of Jack Carthy.

its not a new frame. just wanted to do it to make the frame look cleaner. now it seems like not such a fresh idea haha.
Thought about trying superglue? I know what you mean about trying to make the frame look tidier, especially when I got my new Zhi and hated the look of zipties all down my top tube, soooooo -> My bike.
Just ziptie it in place (you'll need about ten zipties) and carefully apply a layer or two of superglue. I've tidied mine up since those pics and removed all the white residue. Just looks generally really tidy.
Should save you having to go drilling anything

Sounds cool. To be honest I don't think theres anywhere that I'd drive to just to ride there at that distance, no matter how good it was (went up to Newcastle for Drummonds gig the other day but that was more out of support for Ian) but if I'm ever in the area I'll definitely look it up and stop by.

I don't know what camping facilities there are like but coming from so far away (West Cornwall, about 350miles) it'd be cool if there was at least the opportunity of a shower and a flushing toilet. Apart from that what I've seen of Barrow looks pretty sharp. Got any plans for some indoor stuff?

Cheers to Matt Vandart for getting the frame to me and for everyone else who provided bits here and there, especially Heatsink Bikes for the amazing CNC pads. They work so... damn... good...
Will get a video out shortly when I can get out on the bike for a full day.
