PaShLeY

Hi guys, I haven't posted on here for quite some time as I do not use my trials anymore. It's probably quite out-dated now but I think there is some decent kit on it. I have a Zoo Boa, 26" wheel, with Fatty R fork, Hope BULB/Ti Ultralight on Mavic DH and Onza drilled Rims, Middlebrun trials cranks, SRAM mech, DMR V12's Carbon Bars, Magura HS33's etc. All components probably classed as old school now but have had little use. When I was well into it, I had a Pashley 26MHz and could do a lot on it, regret selling it as when I tried to stick with the times and buy an updated geometry frame, I changed some components at the same time and the bike felt a lot different to me. A friend of mine said it rode very nice and felt good but I have never since been able to give it the time to get used to. I've just sold a 1998 GT BMX on ebay so that's making me think of getting rid of this too as its just sitting in the loft. (I have attached a few images for some help, as you can see there's very little use to it in the guise its currently in) My question is, what sort of value would you put on it? or would it be better to break down into parts and sell off separate? Thanks in advance Jon

Getta grip, when the martins go down that slope,lol

sounds good, i would but goin solo is a bit gay, all my mates gave trials up!

just over 6ft, i dont like drops though since my bars snapped on a landing once. joN

Hey Andy, cant see your msn addy anywhere? Adam, maybe when im a bit better yeah? lol joN

I, despite my name have a Zoo Boa with fattys, hopes, maggies and middleburns, onza carbon bars. im still not used to it as i was very used to my old bike; Pashley 26Mhz joN

the responses are overwhelming

Ok, not Bolton then, im from just outside Bolton anyways, Anyone ride in the North West area then Lancs?? Manc?? perhaps i could tag a long for a ride maybe somtime? cheers joN

Cool might stick it on ebay for 50 starting then, its got headset BB and miniseat too. cheers joN

Incidently i wanted this frame a bit ago and i emailed Pashley, i asked info on the bike etc and none other than Tim Steadman (Pashley rider) emailed me a very informative reply, telling me how it rides etc, maybe try that? joN

Hey, i have been outa trials for a long while and need some riding buds to get back into it properly, all my mates have given trials up, is there anyone go out riding in the Bolton/Wigan area? joN

Hey, ive just bought myself a Zoo boa frame, after being out of trials for 3 years, had my Pashley a while how much do you think i could flog this for? its obviously got the usual trials scapes etc, but not too bad condition, joN

Only just! lol

If you're not allowed to post in FS/WTD, and we don't allow FS/WTD posts in here, what made you think that this would be acceptable Note: The above was blatantly not written by Pashley, in case someone didn't get that.

Just wondering what was the ideal position stem and bars on a Zoo Boa frame, i currently have a pashley 26MHz frame with a 90mm stem,and some 26'wide azonic 1.5' riser bars think its 5 or 10 degree rise stem, everyone seems to have long and high stems now?? any help? thanks joN ps i am 6' tall if thats anything 2 do with it.

Apart from trials,and a bit of flatland, im a goalie everyweek in a 5-a-side team/league. and er.....dam im unactive! joN

Blood-E-yell! i didnt realise the work that goes into that frame, that welding is top notch! nice mate, i may consider that frame when i decide to change mine. joN

Panel wipe? or WD40, i cant think of anything that doesnt shift! joN

ouch looks like it may have tickled a little that sunshine. joN

So, kenny, your MHz snapped!? where? and whats the GHz like in comparison? a lot better? have you ridden/compared it to other new frames? cheers joN ps. being out of it for so long i have noticed loads of things have changed!

The thing im on about though, is the feel of it. I mean the geometry of the 'new-school' bike line up if you like have longer wheelbases, even the short ones. i.e. theres a world of diference between my 26MHz and a mates T-rex,KOT? and Adamant.

For 150 quids you cant grumbe at that! nice joN

Cheers for that, but judging by the solo response, they aren't very popular then? surely more people own pashleys ?? joN ps i thought the 26mhz downtube was fairly stong? it goes into a point and is really stiff. people say the chainstays are weak but it takes my pounding and im 15 stone!
