Yeah, considering I have no inner wings and it's still an A-series lump, there's actually not a lot of space in there with the front rad, header tank, catch tank ect. There's even less now as I've added a second cooler coming straight off the tap on the head and back into the water pump as I was getting hot spots at cylinder 3 and 4.

18 months of hard graft...

I'm hoping to see as near to 100bhp / 100lbs/ft as possible. While it's all apart I may go down the route of NODIZ too, get rid of the crappy electronic dizzy but we shall see what the bank manager says

Not even sure if I've ever posted pics of this in here so here she is, Rosie my hill climb and sprint car. Would take me a while to list the full spec of it but its got a Metro 1275, Stage 4 head, CBR Fireblade carbs, Fiesta brakes, John Alley roll cage ect ect. I can list everything if you "really" want to know

I think the main reason for me is the ease of accessibility to skate parks now compared to say 10 years ago. You can pop to a skate park and ride knowing you won't get kicked off, told to move on or arrested. They're fun to ride, full of like minded people and even if you're on your own, can still interact with people and try new stuff without fear of falling off badly and having no one around to help. I take my trials bike to the skate park and ride some TGS stylee stuff, then do some streety more bmx oriented moves, they're just a nice versatile place. Obviously a skate park will never compare to some proper decent street spot but you know they're always there if you can't ride anywhere else.

Ah I see, that must add the extra £300 to the value

I'm worried that it only has 1 brake cable inner and outer... But at least it has 2 standing pedals, those sitting pedals are a bit uncomfortable. Now excuse my ignorance, I know I've been out of the game for a while, but what are Cable Ferrules and why does it need 4?? That's just plain greedy, especially when I have no Cable Ferrules!!

You mean it's not?

We've always used MalwareBytes at work, seems to do the job. Think the other one we used to use was Super Anti-spyware

You were close... http://www.eengoedidee.nl/

Maybe I should auction it off to the highest bidder while it's still in pretty decent condition!

It was this sprayed up with Ashton stickers: Takes you back doesn't it, Fatty Rs, Tioga tyres, Middleburns, DCD, Rob Warner Bear Traps, Mavic D521s, Maguras with Evo adaptors

If I remember correctly it wasn't actually an Ashton Justice, it was just a Cannondale sprayed up silver/grey. Don't think I still have a pic of it...

Looking good dude!! There seems to be a picture missing of a certain engine powered bicycle

Oh trust me I wasn't very good to begin with I was much better at the moral support than the actual riding! Yeah got a grind on the rear, not a very good one but its better than nothing.

Well I seem to recall from my first Maladie that they ride really nicely, however that was about 2 maybe 3 years ago! They are a bit of a barge but with the BB rise they are still fairly flickable. I've only just got back onto this one from a 2 year break so hard to say really but I'm feeling quite comfortable on it so far and was starting to get back to how I used to be

Wheelbase - 1030mm Chainstay - 363mm BB Rise - +85 Weight - 1.55kg

Now now kids; if you keep arguing like this, none of you will get a medal!!

Probably the last surviving Rockman Maladie, however it is my 2nd Maladie frame. Had one a few years ago and really liked it so got another to get back into riding. Not ridden in around 2 years so it's a bit of a shock to the system. So seeing as trials seems to have moved on a little bit since I was heavily into it, I shall "try" my best to list some kind of a spec... Rockman Maladie Frame Echo Urban forks Shitmano Deore front disc 2004 Magura HS33 rear with Try-all Crocco yellows Onza Ronnie / Reggie rims with Onza sealed hubs Onza sticky finger tyres (but have a set of Monty Eagle claws to go on) Onza cranks with Tensile freewheel Some unknown stem Try-all bars It's not the greatest spec in the world and some stuff is quite old skool but it's enough to get me going and get stuff upgraded over time.

I've noticed issues with Firefox when viewing nested Youtube / Vimeo videos where it would just display a black box and nothing else. Switched to IE or Chrome and it's fine.

A clip of a sidehop... um... yay?
