Building S New Bike

[The Muffin Man]

Ok so i have finally begun to order parts for my new bike, i bought my first new frame in 5 years so it was time.

I'm going so say right now it's about 50% trials oriented, just because i use mine a lot for dirt jumping ect. too

But i am interested to hear what people have to say about the parts i bought

I wonder what petals are.........

But seriously, I am currently riding with a rear brake only, and to start off it was very scary.

I am only riding without a front brake because I havn't got the correct lever (for me) on the hope monotrials i have.

Getting a new disc brake when I get home from the rusty bucket i am currently residing on in the middle of the north sea.

I run with no front brake because when i crash that is the first thing that gets broken anf just another cable to get tangle up... and i actually enjoy the challenge of foot-jamming
