[Your First Bike]

My very first bike was a modified kids 24" bike. It was a Trek Jazz 'Cherry Bomb' lol! Like I said 24" wheels, 1" threaded headset etc... then I decided to spend £200 on it and replaced the tyres, upgraded the canti brakes to v brakes (the diacomp levers I still have) and some other bits and bobs. Did me ok to learn the basics, then in 1999 I got a Mission Trials Master with HS33 Racelines, oh my god those were the days!! Then I got a Brisa B26, then a B26D, then Ian Drummond lent me one of his frames cos i had no money when the B26D broke, then I got an Echo Bounce, then I rode the Mission for a bit more... then I think I must have bought the Ashton Justice that I have now... the best frame ive ever had I might add!

wheres the leeson in all of that jonny?

Heya Mate,

Unfortunately you cannot post for sale and wanted threads in new members, you will have to wait until you are validated before then. Just lose the capital leters and sort the spelling and you will be validated in no time at all...

i wouldnt use blood mate, it makes the lever feel slow and yicky (tecnical term right there ) bleed it with water, water isn't as thick as water so makes the brake feel much more solid.

Heya All,

My Name is Ben, Ive been riding in my local Village/Town for about half a year, im 15 year's of age (16 in a month) and i think im reasonably good at riding.

I want to upgrade my bike, at the moment i have an koxx Djinn and it rides quite nicely, but i want a change!

My question to you is this:

What frame should i get? my riding style is more bunnyhops and the like, instead of all this tap and sidehop malarky. Would it be better to get a long bike (Python, Koxx) or a short one (Monty)?

Thanks in advance

Ben
