I think that one BIG thing you are going to notice when changing from th Limey is they will more than likely feel shorter, Limeys have MEGA reach (from the centre of the BB to the centre of the top of the headtube) I would guess around 685 - 690mm maybe even more! where as a frame such as the speedrace is 665mm and 20mm is VERY noticable on the reach of a bike! Adam

Yeh, didn't check what had been taken, give me my Avatar back!!!! Adam

There is absolutely NO way you would ever get near it with you bike! Adam

Where abouts is this dude, google maps linky?? Adam

Fair enough matey, it was worth a try! Have you loked on ebay, there was a few nice looking bikes on there, few new ones too. Adam

Should get something different if they are out of stock.... Cough:Hint:Cough Adam

Riding in Grave yards is not cool! Have abit of respect!! Adam

If I manage to sort my bike, I will come out....... Adam

That place is called Fellsenmeer or something like that, its in germany, it does look realy realy good!! As for the bike, not sure on the weight, but it is a hoffmann frame, with custom sprayed rims etc...... Adam

But there is actualy NO difference between the 2 now, yes previous models were VERY different, but now I don't see any reason why anyone would go for a HS33 over the HS11 for trials! And I very much doubt many people have tried them yet, after all they only got on the tartybikes site yesterday! Adam

They look WAY better without the covers, I would happily run those Adam

I think If i were to be looking at freewheels around £50 i would save some money and go for an Echo TR, my echo SL has been awsome, I was realy worried due to having a chris king rear hub for over 6 years! but the SL realy is an awsome piece of kit! Ignore Rusevelts post, that is the only SL that I have heard of that has cracked and from what I have gathered it is because it was hit very hard. So yeh, If you don't want to fork out the money for an SL, go for a TR pretty much the same freewheel just with a few less engagements, and lets be honest, 72 is more than enough! Adam

I am living in Nuneaton now, but usualy ride a couple times a week, coventry is pretty good and nice and close so I do ride there quite often, you would be more than welcome to come out for a blast the next time I am riding. Adam

You realy are rediculus dude, EVERY frame will break from trials at some point. I had my ISIS for 8-9 months and it was perfect when I sold it, and I rode that frame ALOT! realy good frame, realy stiff, although the brake mounts were slightly too high, so idealy you needed to run some mounts with extra adjustment. Keep an eye out as I may well be testing a frame to your fancy very soon! On another note, how often are you changing frames? I have only just seen the pictures of the Neon which i presume you have only just got! Adam

Only coming from nuneaton, so its not too far, i will come any hoo, need to ride. Adam

Hey guys, Whats the weather like over there? Its not that great here at the moment.... Adam

All depends, more than likely going to be street bashing tomorow, then busy on sunday, we will see..... Adam

http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=34359 have a look at this thread dude, if I remember rightly it looked pretty awsome! Let me know when you are heading that way. Adam

Hoffmann bikes have been around for a very long time, Iit would be more likely that Alex (Who I assume you mean) got his inspiration from them. Adam

Hopefully I might be able to make it, does anyone know anywhere free to park? Adam

That does Suck Simps, But I was always under the impression that the maladie was not a frame designed for street riding, but a HS33 version of the Aurem, making it a long, light high BB comp bike with a HS33 mount. If it were a street frame it would have been heavier than it is, I know one of the frames I have been asked to test for them soon is a frame designed for streety riders and it is a good 250-300g heavier than thier current stock frames....... Still sucks for you though Adam

I can't find it, there is only the buletin from lunch time today on there...... Adam

I ran this tyre for a few days: Grip compared to a maxxis minion: not very close, but not realy bad...... Bounce (compression on preload basically) compared to a der kaiser: Way more bounce. Puncture Resistance compared to a rubber queen: Not as good. I changed mine pretty soon after getting it, they are a good value tyre, I am running a koxx signel ply now, and that seems pretty good! Adam

My bike in its current state is 9.3kg, as said by the Tartybikes scales! Pretty light realy bareing in mind that currently I am pretty heavy....... Adam
