Previous owner of the frame did a very good job of it, really neat.

Right here's a little up date for the bike. So Tarty re-opened and was very quick with the service so thanks guys as i know they was backed up on orders but got all my new bits just to finish the bike off. New front end set up, trialtech stem 70-35* rise with some trialtech high rise bars, and finally some nice Inspired pedals to finish her off as my v12's were on their last legs. Hope you like . . . Enjoy.

Got no tensioner as at it's tight spot it's about perfect so it's good and crap ratio at the moment it's like normal trials gearing which is being changed very soon!

Thanks for that I could easily add a few stackers in there still so that will be done asap. Just a question of what bar/stem to get now to finish it off, and when i get a bit more money, get rid of the poxy front freewheel and switch to a rear Hope. I was thinking about the Hope stem though.

I will order up a new stem when Tarty re-open and pick up a few more stackers at work tomorrow when i'm in.

That's whats happening! Thinking some trialtech bars and not sure what stem yet.

So i was getting pretty bored of the scratched black paint on the frame and felt that my bike needed a bit of life added to it, so spent a good quality day giving it a new lick of life, so here she. Pretty pleased with the outcome. Will get some Inspired stickers put on soon. All that i can say is that i need a shorter stem. Other than that. Love the way it rides. . . . . All comments welcome.

Very wish Mr Maher. Ride soon

Yes Safari on windows vista....does it really matter what browser i'm using? You use what browser you want to use and i will use what i want to use :') I use Firefox and Safari, a browser is a browser to me Doesn't bother me really what i use.

Thats all that came up on mine............

Looks pretty nice i like.

Just keep practicing and don't give up. If you want to get learning new things, look at videos on http://www.trashzen.com/ for tutorials on how to do some trials bits. But keep practicing and you will get there and it will soon become second nature to you. Ben

The pink cable and rim tape are being changed, i didn't even put that cable on there as im not a fan of pink really...what stem would you recommend ?

So after recently playing around on my friends Leeson more than actually riding my bike, i thought it was time that i gave 24'' a go. So Matt_Urban kindly drove to mine last night and swapped his Inspired for my GU. After riding it a bit i absolutely loved it, the only thing iv'e changed is i put some Viz bars on it instead of the Onza Carbons. But as for riding..It rides so nice and i'm getting along with it really well, so heres some pics of the bike. Enjoy . . . . . All comments welcome Enjoy.

Get a longer bottom bracket? That way it would take your cranks further out and away from the brake calipers.

Like most thing's, practice makes permanent. Once you've over learnt a skill to a certain degree its just going to become second nature to you. All it takes is a bit of determination, motivation an persistence and you will get there in the end. Yeah it may be hard at first but come on, its not exactly like you can pick up a bike and expect to be able to do everything straight off is it? Just keep at is, don't worry about whether its hard or not, just practice and you will get there in the end

Go to an image hosting website such as www.imageshack.us . Upload your picture at the size you want. Then once thats done get the direct link to your image, copy it. Come on here and in your topic when you writing theres a little image inbetween the envelope with a plus as the chain with a plus. A little picture of hills with the sunset, highlight over that and it should says 'Insert Image' Click that then paste the link you copied in there and click insert image. All done

Yeah i mean you have to wait for it to clear a bit like 6pm when everyones leaving. But there is some nice walls there but does get boring after a while but there is plenty of other local spots to ride
