Simon Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm going to be honest here, but please correct me if i'm wrong.Why?You complained about the length of your control i think it was, then you went to a BT6, i think. You are probably the tallest rider about, or the one that needs the most cockpit room, so you've gone to a 1065 ashton?Sorry, but i really think you are a fashin victim, how can it not be cramped for you?By all means, i could be completly wrong, so sorry if i am, but thats how it comes across to me.

Tony Harrison Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I'm going to be honest here... Tee hee!! BTW, the Ashton's measure around 1050 (1055 max). Anyway, I've off to buy beer now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the judge Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) *woo woo woo woo* nicest ashton I've seen alert *woo woo*Nice bike Like the look of those echo rims with the drilled sidewalls toowhiteboy: it just looks like he's taken the inner plate off so that the chain can be taken of the jockey wheels Edited March 30, 2006 by the judge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipkickbs Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Think what u will Simon....... Adam ARG!! My eyes are bleeding! a senior member using text talk Anyway, i'm not a huge fan of the Ashtons, but i've got to admit, that one looks very swish. Also nice drilling on the front rim Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
