Mikee Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 This was the first trials bike I ever wanted. Not Disappointed, although it hasn't get the spec I want for it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Loving that dude. What is it you would change? And dont say, fattys! Those TrialTechs suit it much better and they'll make it ride better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 The perfect Geo.. What do you expect from a bike designed by one of the sports greatest legends? That look lovely mate And i agree with Ross.. Iv'e alsways loved curved forks on the Ashton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 What is it you would change? And dont say, fattys! Fattys , middleburns, hs33 on the front. It was those sort of components with this frame that made up my dream bike when I was starting trials all those years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Pff, Middleburns? Not Race Face north shores with a gold ard guard? If it wasn't for the huge heavy Middleburn bash in all sorts of annoying colours and crappy crank/bash interface, I would probably like them too. I had a MB bash milled down to about 5mm which looked nice mind... A magura on the front sounds good but I can never remember liking the look of a magura set up on V mounts. The adapters and booster combo was just a bit ugly. I ran a magura on the front of my Ashton with a set of 4 bolt Lite guys which looked pretty good at the time. And that was forward facing mounts. Rear facing mounts look better imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have a brand new gold ard guard, I have always had a thing for middleburns though. I probably won't do any of these things though. Even though I have 2 sets of fatty forks, one is the matching blue set for my volvo cannondale and my black set has a steerer tube which is too short for this setup.

onzatpro09 Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 This just makes me want an Ashton even more than I already did... I don't know if that is a good or a bad thing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Very nice, I'm building a stealth one this week, do you know what boosters fit? I'm finding most modern ones too wide for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'd still love to own one but with 3 bikes in the shed my missus would kill me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
