Just thought, I may as well put what I'll be spending my money and vouchers on!
Gonna be buying a Born Ultimatum frame, prob some new Urban forks if I can't pick any up off here and a new trialtech front wheel. Might get some new pedals as well as my trialtech sport platforms are a bit big!
That is a frighteningly low weight, I'm hoping to keep the weight down on my stock as the last 3 builds have been pretty heavy, heavy tools, zenith and an old echo control!
Any month is a good month to burn money mehewd! Plus its my bday in february and as I'm getting old I have no real need for presents so cash and vouchers to waste on bikes is the only way to go!!
After christmas I'm gonna be building up another stock bike to ride (buying most of it brand new, just using my drivetrain) cause I fancied having a brand new frame as a bit of a proper fresh start as been riding 2nd hand stuff mostly and wondered who else will be starting from scratch again?
Does anyone specifically sell up at the end of each year and start new again for the new season?
I'm also thinking of swapping my 07 python frame and going duel disc on my mod to get a totally new setup, is it a good idea?
I love christmas, even better now I've got 2 kids as gives me more reason to be excited and I get to play with all my old and their new toys!
Our tree went up at about 9AM on the 1st
In the same boat, 27 with 2 kids means they get all the good stuff and I get duff presents. Will be getting some vouchers though to go towards my new stock frame and a few bits.
Though having kids means I get to play with their presents!
Err, not sure if you've noticed but we're having an immensely bad winter which has put a stop to quite a lot of stuff so it's no surprise you haven't received your package yet.
I posted a frame out on the 24th November and that still hasn't been delivered thanks to the weather.
Used to compete in some local Manchester 17, Macclesfield and the odd Sheffield and Hallamshire trials about 10-15 years ago. Had a few gas-gas', couple of ty250 mono's and my favourite of them all which should never have been sold <BR><BR>
I remember someone mentioning they thought it had but when Dan posted in the thread about the big drugs bust he also said something about a big winter sale so I assume it's still him in charge.
EDIT: Found it here http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=156178&pid=2196185&st=100&#entry2196185
That'll explain how I found them via a google search with the results showing your site, just wouldn't load the page though that could be the shitey works server I'm using!
Can't be doing with much more of this. Just had another son 3 weeks ago and the snow has made it impossible for my missus to go out anywhere and all the toddler groups are shut which means homelife is not happy at the moment.
And to top it off I'm doing even less at work than normal, if thats possible. Been here since 2 and not had one single train/shunt/run round and its doing my nut in, only another 3 days of boredom till I get a few days off.
And not even got any bike DIY to do while I'm here!
Websites looking very nice, shall look forward to burning away lots of money on there!
On another subject, tartybikes t shirts need to be made small enough for 4 year olds! My wife wants one for our little lad!
I assume you'd fit the wheel in and stand the bike up, then as the dropouts are at an angle the frame would drop down pushing the wheel backwards and up the dropout, chain tensions up, tighten bolts and job done.
I'm guessing anyway.
3 ½' sidehop onto a 5" rail not that good?? I'm pretty sure its a hell of a lot more than mst can manage, myself included!
Will keep an eye out for you when the champs start!!
