[First Bikes]

First bike was a 2000/01 Saracen X-Ile, loved it to bits til some scumbag robbed it

[Been A While]

Well just thought I'd say hello.. Again

My name is Rich, I used to frequent this forum as GiAnT, then as NoRcO, If anyone can remember me (which I very much doubt) I was a real little arsey b*stard! For which I now sincerly apologise!

This was many years ago (6) when I quit trials due to breaking my face on a wall trying to tap my front wheel to hop up and a general loss of interest when I passed my driving test.. I since took up smoking, drinking and eating copius quantities of cheese, so something has to be done!

Sooo, over the last couple of months I've been building the bike I always dreamt of back in the day - a full 2001/02 Martin Hawyes Giant replica with a few subtle personal touches, it's just about done just need a few finishing touches which I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help with once/if I get validated and it'll be nice to get back in touch with modern day trials at the same time

Anyway, enough babbling, I'll get some pics up of my bike soon as so you can all have a giggle at the sheer retro-ness of it

So... Hello!
