Thebigdoug2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm looking to change to a 24" for summer riding and like the look of the Inspired 24" frames, but don't really know how they ride and as I don't know anyone else who does trials I've got no way of comparing the feel of it to my 26". Anyone ridden one? If so Any good? Any better frames for similar price? Cheapest place (other than tarty) to get one? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Any good? Yeeeeees. I've been riding for over 12 years and I've never had a bike that I've felt so comfortable on. Provided you get it set up nicely you'll love it! Still really good for 'proper' trials but allows for the more fun, spinny BMXey type stuff when needed.

rathergoodpie Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Agree with the above post, most comfortable frame I've ridden in a long time. Obv. doesn't feel as good on the back wheel as some of the longer stock frames, but you'd be surprised how well it does ride on the rear. Getting the right bar and stem combo is pretty essential IMO. Most people seem to go High rise bars and short stem - its what I've got and it feels really nice. Spins feel effortless, and it still side-hops / gaps relatively well. Echoing other thoughts on this forum, I really don't think it suits a UCi style bar and stem combo - not really what it was designed for. But I guess its whatever is good for you. Price wise I'd defo recommend going second hand. These frames are pretty bombproof, so the chances of it being knackered are small. I picked mine up with a couple of scratches from a guy off the forum for £150 - a steal when you consider the rrp is £329. Hope this helps Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 These frames are pretty bombproof, so the chances of it being knackered are small. Just asked Adam, and we've never had one sent back for warranty or anything like that. If you can find one second hand, assuming they've not cut it up with a grinder you should have a frame for life, realistically... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I've now had mine for two and a half years and there's not a single sign of trouble. Ash Kennard slammed the downtube into a sharp brick wall when it was a few days old and even that hasn't caused any long term issues... thankfully for Ash's face.

Thebigdoug2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Sounds like a plan. Will keep an eye out for one. Do I need to be validated to do business in the for sale section or is it cool just to take a look and message whoever? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
