Ben Davies Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Hey folks ive had this on and off for a year or so now, it had a little holiday with @Dan Jones for a few months but it's back where it belongs now and I'm pretty happy with how it looks. ...now this isn't your typical inspired build, no pro 4, no spank rims, no arcade bars....no disc brakes, I'm an old git who loves Magura all round, seats on bikes and chainspotting .... As for modern bikes go, the hex is the most similar geo I could find to older bikes but I've gone for a more trials set up rather than streety. I have this crazy idea that maybe when my son is a bit older than 18 months and we've got the next kiddie out the way I might get out more than once a month!! Hmmmmm see the pics and don't be mean I guess I've tried a lot of things but just want a trials bike that looks cool and is a bit of an all rounder cheers Edited March 13, 2017 by Cyder man 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 That's rather nice. Bet it's really good for old school style comp riding before it went all pogo stick. And can do streety stuff when you see fit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Looks quite cool man. Inspired saddle came out of no where there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlingpowers Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Finally, someone else has seen the light. I had a similar Hex setup last autumn to test things - but mine wasn't looking as good as this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha yeah I had it ready to go on, not sure if I prefer the selle italia, I guess the inspired seat will be a bit more hard wearing... I literally just picked it up yesterday, Ben at trials addict sorted most of the bits for me, although the frame and seat came from tarty if anyone was interested it's a 120 stem and low rise bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picked it up yesterday and it was hoofing down with rain, shame I couldn't get out today, hopefully will be able to give it a run before the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Haha. @Bessell had quite a similar set up years ago. to be honest I don't think the forks really go. I'd have given you a pass if they were carbon just for being out and out weird. But, whatever eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Davies Posted March 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Haha yeah it's a bit different eh!! lets get weird! I think at some point maybe a more compy frame might be on the shopping list as and when I get better- but for now, this is how it stands. Marmite.

AdamAllen Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think it's awesome :/ Looks like i'd really get on with riding it, more so than the average inspired! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsalot Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 I've gave this some thought. I initially didn't know what to think about it but i'm warming to it. Now get out and ride it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
