I would get it powder coated pal. It is a lot more hard wareing, you will get a better finnish as well.

Second hand all the way buddy. I got Martin Hawses old bike For not much more than that. Very well specced bike. Rides well looks good and should stand the test of time. Loads of lads advetise on here, or go on clean bikes websit and look under the nearly new section. Good luck and enjoy. John.

Beast of the East with ringle goodies on. Sweet. Going up Farnhill Moors on a full sus down hill rig with Chris Akrigg on a tiny little Cannondale trials bike (ridgid) and him absolutle whooping all of our asses to the bottom of the moor. Never did understand how that was possible ... but.....

The giant in the last shot is my current bike, yo for old school

I remember way back when we used to weld a tracking cog and put bmx forks on our raliegh grifters we called em trackers not trials bikes How old am I....... you lot were still papping your nappies no doubt old gits rock

No doubt a lot of have seen the dates for next year but if you havn't then here they are KOXX camp Monday 26th March 07 until Friday 30th March. KOXX days Sat 31st March and Sunday 1st April 07 I am sure that Mr Savage will have more details. I hope to attend next year with Robbie as we have heard and read great reports about it, I might even take my bike for the laugh.... :$. Roll on 07 John P P.S. tried to put this in the newsie bit but it dissappered somewhere. If it needs moving can some body sort it please. Thanks again John

No doubt a load of you have already seen the dates but if you haven't here they are. KOXX camp is Monday 26th until Friday 30th March. KOXX days is Sat 31st March and Sunday the 1st April. I guess that Mr Savage will have more details very soon. I hope to get out there next year with Robbie, work and finances permitting of course !!!! From what I have read and heard about it, it sounds like a real blast. Roll on 07 John.

I have the same bike and the same prob, I can bunnyhop my cannondale mtb for fun but the giant just won't go up, is there a pattern showing here any help would be great Thanks.

Would somebody close this topic before we totally kill our sport please. !

AMEN to that

KOXX uk website (N.S.E.) Or trialsman they have em, not sure what colour though.

I'm 35 and I still feel 20 :$

Great stuff another old git . That makes, me, Matt Robinson(Jacubs dad), niel raven(Adams dad)and another old bloke that joined today. We should start a national old farts team. All we need now is Gary Morgan(Lois and Griffs dad) and Ian Oliver the lazy git (Sam and Toms dad) and we will be unbeatable. Oh yes you will need about a gallon of Radox each time you go out, and a missus thats good with the hands if you catch my drift . Welcome buddy John

Have you checked your frame for snappage. Chain or seat stays snappage would give rear flex. Hope it,s not but best have a look buddy

I have some good action shots of me Any takers :$ Bugger you then

Great stuff another old git Welcome to the old creekers gang

I have stopped my lad reading TF. When I was first told about it I was really chuffed that we could be part of a group of lads/lasses that all shared the same interest, "TRIALS" But over the last twelve months or so the uk scene has gone sour, a real split has happened. I have to try and explain to a 9 year old why Joe Oakley who Rob thinks is great, and Dan the Butler who in my eyes is awsome, Waynio who has helped Rob so much and who is a god to him, Rob Poiser who fixed Robbies bike in Devon (helping him to win the British for a third year)and many many more of you out there, seem to clash a lot on here is really hard to explain to him what is going on. I think you are all leg ends in your own right, I watch you ride and you all amaze me. If we can't take the people to trials then why can't we all work together as a team of bright and intelligent people and take TRIALS TO THE PEOPLE and run some comps on the streets ? People must look at this forum and read stuff and think "god I'm not doing any comps they all hate each other, I'm off into town to ride my bike" I have said it before. If any of you have seen my riding you will aggree trials IS fun so just get out and ride. Invest some time in the little uns we have loads of little kids coming to our events, rather than tearing chunks out of each other why don't you all sort out an English style Koxx days style event or something on those lines. Put something back into the sport. Please for the sakes of our sport.

You will be lucky to find one now. I belive they have had to stop making em now, copy right or something. However I got one a while back from NSE(Fred Savage KOXX UK) he might have some but i doubt it. Good luck.

Forget all you know about riding a bike or motor bike, just strap a chair (side car) onto a trials bike and you will not belive that it is the same machine. It is as mad as fu<>. A propper laugh much more fun and a lot harder than moto trials, a bit like patting your head and rubbing your belly and taking a shit all at the same time. i think somebody should invent chair for a bike trial bike, Now that is a sport that I would do.... Nowt like that buddy. Think of Wallace and Grommit in the motoerbike bit and you are nearly there.

My arse. We have the lot up here, thats why we can,t get rid of you TAFFS every other weekend.

Good for a life ??? I hope you don,t find my special style funny young man

How far for me buddy will the old Bongo make it. Remember i get lost just out side crosshills
