if you dont win, its a fix.

gravity. isnt that what all trials riders battle against evertime there out. 1G. it wouldnt be quite as fun i think....

your girlfriends/mums/sisters (etc) hairspray is the best....

i was in amsterdam last weekend, and my girlfriend got ID'd a few times and she's 23! depends where you go. but expect to be turned away.

now thats a nice mod! (coming from a stock rider lol)

sounds good. what time and where do you guys meet? not sure if i can blag the day off yet (

Show me Show me!!! I do like the look of this frame... http://www.silverfish-uk.com/articles.php?articleshow=449

Yep! well i can set it up for 2 styles too now! got rigid forks and a middleburn pro trial, or i can go 'off road' with a middleburn uno 32T and a pair of Marzocchi Bomber MX Comp Air 06. my style of riding is different to all these 'little bikes' as i like to do more than just hop up/down walls.....

Ive got one of these for all mountain biking, its waterproof (submersible) shock proof and virtually unbreakable.... Ericsson R310s http://www.mobileedge.co.uk/manufacturers/...r310s/r310s.htm you can pick them up on ebay for cheap ;-)

yes the best rim brakes money can buy

sounds good. just name a time and place ;-)

mmm, one railway maybe.... wheres the meeting point in chelm?

well i'm going out for a cruise, if anyone else is out in romford, catch me on MSN batesie (at) hotmail.co.uk

Romford

i'm in for that. which day you going? where do you meet, at Cardrome?

quality little video clip there Snappel ;-) well ive had some time out on my bike and its starting to come back to me (after 5 years) bit by bit. thanks to all the open minded people out there for the encouragement.... ;)

so if i was to come, i woulnt be the only one on a 26'' wheel'd bike.....

MK is one of the best places for urban trials in the south. well recommended.

so will everyone be riding 20'' wheel'd bikes?

damn it, going to miss another meet

ok, 7 years ago we called it Bitumen. we used to hang around near any local road works where theyre doing some resurfacing and BINGO, little lumps of bitumen ready for drawing onto our rims.... :P

cheers guys. well if any of you are in the london area give me a shout and you can have a go on the oldskool machine :P

22t with a 30-11 8spd cassette on the back, i guess i use the 22:16 ratio for trials the most....

no? there still there!

mmm, well as far as i'm concerned this required its own thread to show how ive got this far thanks to this forum, other bike riders, and thanks to a couple of members on this forum that helped with the sourcing of parts and ideas. (Y) (Y) and this thread has been posted in the "sites vids and pics" area so maybe it needs to be renamed if ive got it wrong. (Y) so thanks is due and my appreciation goes to the forum. and a forum only exsists because of its members. not the admin or mods, theyre just there to lock threads and state their authority now and then.
