24martin Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 (edited) posted a few pictures of this bike a few months back after i built it, but it's had a few little upgrades and tweaks here and there so i thought i would throw a few more pictures up! I weigh about 13 stone and i haven't had a single part fail on the bike yet after a good 3 moths of solid riding pretty much every single day since it was built, it's been such a solid bike, and since the try-all carbon handlebars were holding up really well, i like how stiff the bars feel and they seem to cope with me doing like 300 fronthops and gaps to front every day , and because i'm very intrigued/interested in carbon i thought i would give the rockman carbon forks a go! the forks look extremely well made and the matt finish on them looks really nice, i've only had them on the bike for 2 days now but so far they seem so much stiffer than my aluminium forks, even the front brake has a nice stiff feel at the lever! as it goes so far i am very impressed, also pretty impressed with the 6-month warranty that they have ! couldn't be happier with this bike at the minute i am so happy with the way it rides! the carbon downtube protector is a bit of a bodge i must admit, i made it out of the remains of a carbon fiber mo-ped tailpipe but its better than not having one on there lol! have been getting a bit of filming done lately here and there so i will try and throw up a bit of riding footage soon. also i've just noticed that my chainstay protector has spun round somehow and the tarty logo isn't showing (also would like to once again thank the guys at tarty, you guys do a fantastic job of putting up with my countless phonecalls lol) all comments on the bike welcome, let me know what you think.

SamKidney Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I swear I must have been unlucky and got a duff 24" frame, everyone elses seem to have been going strong for ages. Looks seriously nice mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigriss Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 really really nice ! for me the warranty is too short on that kind of forks, monty offers a 1 year warranty on its 20" carbon fork, I think it's the minimum it should have. but once again ! sooooo beautifull bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom_capper Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 This is whipping most of the bikes in the 'best looking pure trials bike' threat, peng looking bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
