Got some today, will bash them on the site Monday and let you know when they're up Thanks for the comments guys, glad you like the organisation etc! Had some more thoughts about James' raffle idea, hopefully we'll be able to get something planned and announced in the near future. Cheers again Adam

Haha, we actually have a shopping trolley that Ali C and Iolo are 'restoring'... I'll get some pics when its done The woodwork was done by myself and one of the local riders Gav, with a bit of help from my girlfriend. Took quite a while, we also had a set of stairs to make (which I got knocked down after being shocked by the mains electric, oops - some mong left live wires up there ) which you can't see in any of the pictures. Cheers Ads

That raffle idea is actually damn good James... will give it some thought, nice one Yeah, quite low on all stock at the moment, we ran it down to make everything easier to move, but frames are right towards the back. Cheers Adam

The Technical line is mainly for those who are after advice about parts, for warranty queries and also returns - the idea is to free up time on the sales line (we often get reports of people having to try many times to get through at busy periods). The Sales line is for those who wish to ring up and place an order quickly and efficiently. Obviously orders can be placed on both lines (and technical advice given on both lines, just not quite to the same standard on the sales line at the moment), and both the numbers ring into the same office, we just thought it would make it easier for some customers to have two lines Hope that makes sense, Adam

18th October: New features and gadgets added to the site, comments and suggestions welcome as long as they aren't ridiculous Thanks Adam PS: A massive thanks to Dave from http://www.coxwebdesign.com for his efforts, he's just headed off to bed after a 27 hour stint getting our site up and running on time ----------------------- Hey everyone, Our site has just had a quick update with news regarding our re-opening and also a few pictures of the new place - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk Hope you like! Cheers Adam

Nice...

You may have seen our Pro2 Trials rear hubs with TartyBikes logo, but thanks to the guys at Hope we now have another new product to offer! First up is the Hope Tarty Trial, identical to the standard Mono Trial in functionality but we have the calipers and lever bodies custom anodised in black. The lever blade will be silver, the bore cap black, and the lever body has a TartyBikes logo laser etched onto it. The top cap will be the 'Union Jack' version seen on some brakes in magazine tests. I haven't got a detailed picture of this brake yet as it seems to have gone missing on the way back from the NEC, haha, but its the Hope brake on the right in this picture for anyone who saw it at the Bike Show: http://photokool.com/bikeshow/pages/Bike_Show_4570.htm (cheers Joe). RRP will be £140. The Tarty Trial SL is the same as above but comes with £60+ of upgrades including: Hope Carbon Lever Blade, Hope Ti Rotor Bolts, Hope Ti Caliper Bolts and Hope Ti Lever Clamp Bolts. This brake will retail at £180. These custom brakes will be available for purchase in around 7-10 days, and will be available in all current options (160, 180, front, rear, left hand, right hand). More pics and info as soon as our stock arrives! Cheers Adam

Sweet pics Joe! (Stan here on Adams laptop at the Bikeshow!!)

Just pulled one in the first demo today was awesome!

Its the 06 version you have Liam, they changed the logo over at around the same time but some of the 06 hubs came with 07 logos Should get louder as you use it The 07 ones are supplied lubed with oil instead of grease so are generally a little louder. Cheers Ads

Come and say hello (and buy some stuff )

Full list of riders here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/news.php Cheers Adam

I think it should work well - be careful with that polishing wheel though, it'll take chunks out of your rim in no time if you're not on the ball...

*goes and digs out old Skunk Anansie albums* Good shit

I've heard of people with sprained ankles being told to use them by doctors etc... In my experience their advice is mixed/useless, see a physio!

Sounds nasty... get it checked by a Physio NOW Jonny, if you need crutches then it doesn't sound like just a sprain Ads

Pretty sure Hope will help out... the 90 x 10 is still made too for reference

Just been out for a bit of a sesh in Blackburn and took some snaps... comments welcome. Ali hook... uphill run up, about 59-60", was making it pretty easy in the end Same again, different angle... Think I prefer this one. Stan with the same hook... And a different view. John The Mong with a nice gap up to front wheel (look really hard and you might see bits of Monty brake pad dust ) Stan sidehop... yes the tyre gripped, good old Maxxis Made it much easier 2nd go though. Al Fel with another gap up to front wheel... doing it for the fat oldskool riders! Ali with a monster rolling gap attempt (just shy of 10ft I think) from a 1 pedal rotation run up! Got tyre on but just couldn't keep his weight forward, you'll have it next time Ali... Another 'nearly' move from Ali, slightly sloped but uphill run up, around 58-59" from the point you take off! Rolling gap picture again... shows how small the run up was too: That's all for now Cheers Ads

Ching

Gayboy Edit: Wooo nice one Stan, that was cool! Really enjoyed the quietness of the vid, its just like being up there again... nice one Forgot how beasty some of the lines you and Ali did were too!

Yeah they are quite hidden... however:

Even better than your old vids Dan... the music made ALL the difference! I thought the editing went really well with the song too. Some beasty riding as well! Its not fair how all you kids get so good so fast

Haha, was just gonna say that

Well it is a bit of a trek from Prague

Filmed on 22/12/2002..! What a beast: http://www.heavy.com/video/11457 Cheers for the link Anal
