eskimo Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Here's my new Triton. Dunno if people will like it, but whatever it's custom. No idea on weight as my friend's scales are bust, the frame came in at 1675g on mine (but only go upto 3kg). I could take another 1kg off with ease, but not planning to right now. Real seat for real sitting Vee! Rear drive. Loads Ti & alloy. 20" tyres for weight reduction and less rolling resistance. Only 1" higher than a Monty 221pr. 18/11 1008mm / 55mm+ / 72* / 71* / 365mm or about that. Was designed around 18/12 to be used without snail cams. But change of heart at last minute so guessing the extra few mm of length there. --------------------------------------edit 2012------------------------------------------- Currently the same setup bar a few things. Slimmer seat, one23 BB (my crank brothers Ti shitted up), and custom cams. 18/12 ratio, so geo is back to 221 Trialtech fork Monty Ti bar -- Viz stem + Ti bolts. 175x35 -- ODI Longneck lock ons short -- FSA Orbit MX Odyssey Aitken pivotal -- DMR Clamp -- 27.2mm post fitting One23 BB 113mm -- RS7 -- TNN 18t alloy 1piece -- now a 510HX chain -- Shimano DX Pro2 28h -- Ti spokes + alloy nips -- Tryall rim -- Salsa Ti QR -- Maxxis DTH 2.25" Profile 36h (with wobble now) -- DK double butted + alloy nips -- Eclat Bondi 36mm -- Animal 2.25" GLH-R Custom Stainless snail cams.

Not so much though unfortunately. For some potential bonus points: Triton bmx from about 2008 Edited January 30, 2012 by eskimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the trials mop Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 thats looks like it will be so much fun, are all tritons Ti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 The frame alone looks so stunning Nick, but there's something a little odd about the full build (in my opinion, and purely aesthetic!) Perhaps a slimmer seat and something at the front end might be it, I don't really know haha, just being a tart! Does it ride as well as you'd hoped? Sweet hybrid kinda vibe going on with the 20"s One day I will own a Triton 24"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Thought the frame was a BMX to start, looks lovely though, but got to agree with Luke the font end for some reason looks a little odd and really does need a smaller seat. Love the clean look of Ti frames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Is that a bmx frame? No, it's a custom made frame for Mr. Eskimo. It is neither bmx nor trials. PS: This bike is sick. I wish I could try it out. May come to the UK another day... But damn, you guys have rear brakes on the left side. Bugger It's good to be a frame manufacturer though. I can make one for myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 whats the cost to the door on tritons these days ? It looks awesomes by the way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike425 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 (edited) whats the cost to the door on tritons these days ? It looks awesomes by the way I think it depends on what you order. I just ordered a 24" and I think it was like 660 for the frame alone and a bit extra for the rear disc guard. Love this bike, looks kinda like the reeeeeally old monty steel frames! Like how different it is, sick of seeing long and low! Edited April 21, 2010 by mike425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks! Thought this was gonna be a hating fest It rides just like a Monty 221pr, but lighter and stiffer. More speed, better brakes and just 3mm of difference as stated above. The stem and bar would look better black, but shame you can't get the Viz in a matt finish. And the bars were a nice addition to the Ti colour. @Dmitry Both cables can be switched over in seconds, so you're be welcome to come have a go. What are them bars? Monty where did you get your booster from? I would like ono Friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux07 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 i saw triton as the title an got all excited thinkin it was a triumph engined norton framed moto-trials bike like a pre'65 i do like the half bmx half trials mix up a blend of the two sports would be nuts i.e. a street style skate parks with trials obstacles thrown in (similar to the red bull trials events years ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Looks great. the build is questionable though however I know you ride BMX so makes more sense. Personally Id set it up with a monty stem, trials tyres and push in mini seat. Still looks great fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted April 24, 2010 Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 Looks great, I had the same idea, but never got around to buying all the stuff. Would love to do a Megamo or something like that. Needs a bmx seat though. Get us a vid out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted April 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2010 I'm real surprised at all the positive comments, thanks all. I like this particular stem for the length and steep angle, plus the Monty bars add a bit of height while being shorter so i'm stood up even more. I may run a pair of Try-all tyres if it hit natural for a long period of time, but can't see that happening right now. Though i would put another tyre inside of the Try-all anyway for some added protection. Won't be any trials videos for a long time i'm afraid. Any footage will probably be self filmed, which for street can be a problem/ worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
