Cheers dude! Love to see your build 👍 On holiday at the moment and can’t remember off the top of my head but will check when back. I think it’s actually slightly slimmer than the original Yellow frames’ seatpost from memory. another pic for fun:

Progressing - have updated a few things including beefier disc adaptors. It's not as heavy as it looks and rolls very nicely.

Hi, one of the old skool here. 👋 Anyone over on instagram or facebook may have already seen this but I’ve been building a tribute to Martyn’s 2002(ish) Cannondale using a Mk3 Justice. Here’s a little gallery of the build for those interested. You can check out more @projectcashton on instagram.

As the title suggests, I've been slowly but surely building my old bike. Heres a little gallery of progress for those interested. First Image was from around 2002 - this was the inspiration for the rebuild. DDG was a donor for the wheels. Original frame was built, but then replaced when I decided the head-tube crack was going to be a problem. Ashton forks have now made their way onto another build (in progress)

You absolute hero sir. I have been looking for this vid for AGES - all time favourite rider. Style for miles.

What was it like while Danny was getting big?
rathergoodpie replied to Alyksett's topic in Trials Chat
I've always found the whole street / comp split a bit unusual - but maybe that's just me. I guess when we were in the late 90's it was just "small MTB" which was used for everything: street, rocks, dirt jumps - so there never really was any segregation - just "BIKE" It's always stuck with me that, albeit elite riders need the most specialised equipment, you can do most stuff to a decent level on most mid-2000 26" (Ali is a fine example of this) I do wonder how things would have been different had Danny posted that first video on a 26" - which I'm sure he was more than capable of doing. Maybe less folks would be flocking to buy a 24 because "that's what you need to do Danny moves on" and the scene might have actually gone in a slightly different direction. Who knows. -
Don’t forget the folks who are resurrecting / rebuilding classic street trials frames which ironically have a very similar geo (albeit with longer chainstays). Hell of a market for things like old pashely / giant / cannondale / pace / ashton builds. I’ll caveat that by saying a lot of these builds will never be ridden as hard as they once were!

Which old parts do the dinosaurs on here think of as 'new'?

Echo Urban - not sure on the year - about 2003 I think. Nice mix of street and Comp. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/14979-echo-2/

Nah it was defo a justice prototype - not the cannondale from the euro road trip vid below. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KHkCxeIsBxA It had a whole feature on it - pretty sure the cover was him side hopping over a bar. Have to keep searching I guess... Any Tartyboys got any ideas? Rob

So, most of you may not remember this - but I'm sure I've seen it online somewhere. There was a section in MBUK a fair few years back on Martyn's very first Justice prototype (the gunmetal grey one) Just wondered if anyone knew where I might find a pic of it? Holla to the oldskoolers. Rob

Shameless Plug Alert. Made this back in 2000 - apologies for the quality, didn't have a digital camera back then!
