Here we go Now, the question is... do I get one of these urban camo funn seats or just leave it as is...? Dave

Picked up my Inspired frame yesterday so here she is Big thanks to Adam and everyone at TartyBikes for sorting me out! Quick spec: Inspired Fourplay frame Echo Control '07 forks sprayed white Symtra ReSyStem Easton EA30 high bars Onza Zoot front wheel with Tioga Comp III tyre 2.125 Echo 07 singlespeed rear hub with tensioner on Onza rim and DMR Moto RT 2.2 Echo Forged cranks, Gu bash and Eno freewheel El cheapo seatpost and Pashley MHz (Selle Italia) plastic saddle HS33 rear with Onza Citrus pas and customised Threshold booster Hope Trial fron disc, 160 rotor. Comments welcome. Dave

That's the one. Tried it in Firefox and IE7 and no luck with either. Same error for both.

I'll have pics of mine tomorrow morning. It's half built at the mo... Dave Actually, the frame on TartyBikes actually is my frame... it came with some stickers already on it as shown in their pics

Agreed. I started riding my 24" with a pair of Maxxis High Roller's which are awesome for trials but just too slow and sticky for more streety stuff. I'm currently running a DMR Moto on the rear and a tioga comp III on the front which are working quite well at the moment. However, what's the point in asking what tyres people used if you're not going to get a bike for years? Meh.

It won't let me upload a vid with an .mpg or .mpeg extension... even though others have added theirs. Any ideas? Dave

Started riding trials when I was about 15, now 25...

Bought. Look forward to watching this

The brake itself is plenty strong enough hold-wise. However, the design of the lever blades is not strong enough for trials and the blade will eventually fatigue and snap if left alone. I changed them immediately to Hope Trials and put the Magura's on my XC bike. On that bike they also seem to go strange when left unused for a while and require regular re-bedding in. Dave

A chain can never be too short for trials (provided you can actually connect it together of course...)

Are you sure you can't remove a complete link from the chain? That would help lots if you could... It's really designed to look like that when in use.

lol. Post a pic if you can so we can see how you've got it set up.

Nope. That's an opinion. I personally don't mind having a kickabout and I don't even mind watching the odd game but I can't stand all the cr@p that goes with it, namely the 'fans'. It pisses me off so much when people say 'we should've won'- no, YOU didn't do a damn thing apart from probably get wasted watching and maybe trying to start a fight with the other side. The majority of the players are also a joke with their diving etc and are over paid by such a stupid amount it's not even funny. All in all, I agree with Krisboats.

Ok, so me and Adam seem to have had our wires crossed. Turns out there was a white one of the first batch still available which I've now duly snapped up! Should arrive on Monday Now... anyone want to buy an Onza Zoot frame in sky blue?... Dave

What he said.

You know you want to 24's mucho fun!! As I've already said, the frames look completely awesome- welding and general look is soooo nice! Look forward to seeing some other products in the future and also some more of Danny Mac's insanity... And you can definitely put me down for a white frame when the next batch come in Dave

I think he means that the only compulsory item of clothing on a motorcycle (of any kind/capable of any speed) is a helmet. Apart from public decency laws you could legally ride a motorcycle in nothing but a helmet and a loin cloth.

I remember reading somewhere that drivers tend to leave more room for cyclists who aren't wearing helmets so if that's the case you're actually safer not wearing one when riding on the road...

Only in certain states in the US. Never in the UK. I'd say maybe they should be compulsory for under 16's or something but not necessarily everyone... they're obviously a good plan though

The way I see it, Microsoft is insanely successful (first with the technology and no one can get close now) and fair enough I guess but Apple are just plain obtuse and awkward for the sake of it.

It's a shame Apple made the iPod... I would absolutely hate them if they hadn't. As it stands I quite like (the functionality of) iPods but I really can't stand Apple. I agree with Scopse- they're 100 times worse than Microsoft, nothing is compatible with any of their products if they didn't make it. That's just cr@p if you ask me. Hate their computers and hate the way they operate as a company. Meh. But then again I own a nokia 5140 and don't care what it looks like or does so long as it can send messages and make/receive calls... which it does just fine!! Guess I'm just an unfashionable old fart.
