Shaun H Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 6 monthsish then it cracked on both seatstays (Echo Bounce).

poopipe Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I rode my da bomb for about a year - the first half of that I was just bowling about, bunnyhopping up kerbs n stuff.It's still in one piece, I had a quick go on it on sunday. I only really got a new bike cos it wouldve cost a fortune to upgrade the da bomb to a decent spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 brought in easter half term snapped and cracked in 3 places finished on the 2nd of Jan so 7-8 months ish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 1998 14" Kona Caldera. Lasted a 18 monthst then cracked it 4am on a freezing november morning riding rocks.At the time it was about as good as trials frames were going to get. You either had a small xc frame or a monty or megamo, which were nigh on impossible to get and took non standard parts like 160mm rear axles.Got a Pashley 26Mhz next, then anothrer one. rode those for about 3 years, then an Echo ES3, which I retired in June then a GMP, which I havent been able to ride much due to injuries.

Swize Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Had mine about 4-5 mounths only reason I changed it was because it was a tee-vee and had a 20" wheel wich made it hard to get anything on it.If it was a 19" I would problie stll be riding it today!

Luke Drewery Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I had my Barracuda Slum for about 6 months then I sold it and bought a Planet-x Zebdi (which snapped badly!). I can remember when I first got on a real trials frame after learning all the basics on the heavy, low bb Barracuda, it felt so light!
