FIRST POST In the last few months i bought a t-raptor through ebay (item no. 5651291701) when i first saw the item i was kinda suspicious as to the fact hadn't included a photo of the actual bike but then i just shrugged it off as i was so eager to get into trials and it wasn't too far from where i lived. When i went to pick it up everything looked sweet to my inexperienced eyes. Then the next day i take it 2 my LBS for a service and he tells me that its a good frame with crappy parts (some OOOOLLLLDDDD skool shimano sis RM for one) and no shifter (how the hell i missed that i'll never know) ..............F**K. So after alot of swearing i figure i'll just have to spend a bi t more than i thought (thats cool cos then i could take some of those parts onto my next frame). So as my collection of parts increases i continue to practice on this pile of rubbish thinking i'll be fine......WRONG. When ever i pedal too hard something gives way and i end up launching my knee into the handlebars i don't know whats causing it to do that all i do know is that it hurts. And maybe this one might hav been my fault but i some how while trying a japslap smashed willyballs my on the stem . Sooooo i ve decided to take a break from riding but after noticing that some guys are coming down this saturday for a ride im tempted to go, but guys would it be better to turn up without a ride and walk home or bring Christine and get carried home?
