I've always liked them mate but i'm a mod man at the moment mate, but i might venture back to stock one day, and that will be top of my list.

Funny that my first bike was a stock then i had about 3 mods then a koxx caissio (?spelling?) that was about 2 years ago and now im gettig this and litterally cant wait, im definately staying with stocks though.

Wow, 4 days in the sun then nothing. The bike is a much better buy than a couple of days of sunburn.

Well its finally here and im a bit pissed off not with the bike but with parcelforce, the thing is i paid £42.00 so it would be here before 10 am today witch it wasnt it came at 10.40 so i thought fare enough im not that bothered about 40 mins, untill i opend it to discover that the left hand side of the handelbars had been bent and they had a massive piece of wood sticking out of them, so before i could even try it out (in the rain) i had to go to burnley and buy some new bars witch cost me £60 once id got these on though it rides absolutely immense the rear brake holds fine even though it (and me) were pissed wet through and i still cant beleive how light it is even with my new rob warners on anyway heres the pics i took after id dried it

Well i went out for my first proper ride last night in like 2 years or something and the first thing i noticed is how unfit ive gone, before i quit id go out ride for like 3 hours then have a little sit down, but last night i only managed half an hour then i was fooked, also i noticed my hands have gone well soft ive got two really nice blisters now and i reckon there gonna pop on todays ride LOL (pain).

Anyway enough about me, my bike feels amazing (apart from spongy brake) it badly needs a rear booster, its so light i actually cant beleive it the first backwheel i tried i landed first time and was proper chuffed,an other thing i noticed straight away is how long it is, i mean really long its actually hard to bunny hop up curbs LOL.

To sum it up though im really pleased and should be keeping this one for a while and im definately not quitting trials again.

Looks very nice i can't belive how small and low the frames are they started to get that way when i stopped riding its mad now, i started when the first lot of brisa b26's were around.

I absolutely love the b26, i couldnt bring myself to get one though because of the seat.

Well as some of you may realise from the, what annoys you topic, i was waiting for a parcel from tarty and well it turned up. In it was my new 14 tooth rear sprocket kmc kool chain and an echo booster, i placed the order yesterday at five to three and it arrived next day, i cant stress enough how good tartybikes are at doing what they do best.

heres the booster, brake now feels even better than before.........

heres the new chain , gearing feels alot more reactive now maybe because its harder than normal being 14 tooth.......

really really really.......nice!

scott said it was the nicest bike he'd ever had...:P

Iknow he said in one of his emails that he was really gutted it had to go, im really chuffed though that it used to be owned by 3 time champion its already got pedigree LOL.

And it does ride so sweet, cant wait for the weather to clear up.

Just a quick update, i went for a ride last night and snapped my rear lever blade so when i got in i swapped my old lever blade over and thoght while im doing this i might aswell try the water bleed, and christ what a diference it makes (as most of you already know) it feels like it takes less effort to pull the lever and its so much faster so i definately wont be going back to oil, thanks everyone that told me to try it.
