nobody home? Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am new to stock 26" bikes, therefore I need help in choosing a 26" frame, mates. Ashton Justice or MBK T1000? other suggestions for really good 26" frames for mainly street and mountain riding? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elson Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 HiI would say a Ashton Justice just because it looks soo nice. 1055mm with Ashton forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 After seeing the ashton lots, and the MBK this weekend, Id definately say get an MBK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Do you want short or long?The MBKs have a 1100mm wheelbase, and the Ashton is 1055mm.I've had a quick go on Bessell's MBK, and it does ride very nicely. Nice and stable on the backwheel.Never rode an Ashton, but many people love how they ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 i highly recommend a zoo pitbull, i reckon they are wicked frames and look sweet when done up proper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Can I ask why you are looking at spending £400 on a trials frame when you don't even vaguely know what style or geometry frame you are after? Have goes on other peoples bikes and see what geometry etc you like the most. then think about shelling out the big money. You'll regret spending £400 on an MBK then riding an Ashton and realising its much more you're kind of thing, and visa versa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 do you want a trials bike?get off! ofcourse he doesn't. What you think this is, a trials-forum? he does have a point though, you've been a bit vague Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 you've been a bit vagueYea like would i take a trials bike anywhere where i would take a mountain bike???? NOcan you compromise between a mountain bike and a trials bike.........no not really because of the set up wide bars rigid forks small frames slick / grippy tyresbrake choicesyou really need to decided which bike you want more..... a mountain bike or a trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think this is, a trials-forum? he does have a point though, you've been a bit vague 'cos that really sounds like he wants a trials bike, matt... i think you're a bit confused mate. might want something closer to a freeride hardtail like a cove stifee or sommet. if you do want a trials frame though, cant really go wrong with an awshton or those yabba(old koxx lb) frames for like 180 was it?
