lol, it says that ashton bikes were succesfull, if it was that succesfull then surly they could carry on producing bike's and not have to work for diamondback instead, just seems strange to leave a succesfull company to work on a developing brand, i don't mean diamondback are a new brand, just relativly new to trials bikes, best of luck to all the riders involved, i hope that together with diamondback some nice bikes are created, but that remains to be seen, lets face it, diamond back have a history of waisting money on big name riders but never actually producing anything! lol lets hope they get it right this time, i know a few of the design guys at diamondback, Niel and Simon, and they seem very excited to get a good trial bike together, and to have mr Ashton on bored, lets wait and see, love you, rob
