Lewis Gething Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 What does he mean by this term 'Instrument'? What is an 'Instrumentless' bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 He means tools when he says instruments, he recently made a thread in Trials Chat showing everyone how he uses a screw driver and a hammer for everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Not keen on the saddle sorry mate, get a black pivotal, angle it upwards a bit too (they look best when in line with the top tube). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 2 hours? Why so long? Maybe you should get some instruments to help you. I always like to have a trumpet close by when building a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know) but #1 priority is to get good parts that affects riding. And also - I use saddle for its intended purpose(I like to ride without hands), it's not decorative.

CalRobbo341 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Surely you must struggle? What was wrong with the Marino? Not like the geo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clerictgm Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) Marino was bent a little, it was impossible to set rear wheel properly. And also it was welded in 2 places. Marino is cool, if you order it brand-new and choose geo and stuff by yourself. It would be my next frame.

clerictgm Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 It would be difficult to film it now, because of snow everywhere. Just get some speed, sit on saddle and let hands off the bars. It's like on any other bike(almost every kid can ride 20-30 meters with no hands on XC) but more fun.

clerictgm Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yea, but this tool was used not on purpose. It can't press pin by design. Fully removed pin. You're doing it wrong. Any evidence, mr. Rainbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
