Lightest frame, looks to be the new triton Ti frame, 3.5 lbs. Around 1600g? (damn old measurements) Longest bike, Koxx Vinco - 1115mm wheelbase. Lightest stock built bike 20" - Monty 221 Ti probably, Koxx XTP mod, both around 8kg i beleive. Lightest stock built bike 26" - Again, probably a monty, or the XTP stock.

S'all right. Looks a bit bish bash will all the different sized tubes.

Goodo. Anyone else got any opinions?

Yeah, another vote for slower is better. I reckon you want to move the grinder as fast as you can over the surface, leaving big sharp bits far apart, more surface area? Whereas with lots of small bits it will have a smaller surface area to grip with.

Ok, is a Sandisk 1GB ULTRA II CF card a good choice, theyre £70 so im expecting it to be quite good? I could've sworn i read the lenses worked by halving it, but fair do's.

Personally, that looks like some sort of techno fanny on your back. Get something fairly small, big ones all look a bit weird.

Nice pics, especially like the one of all of you looking at the whale, what happened to it? For some reason, i tend to keep away from shots from a high angle, it doesnt really add anything to a picture imo. In yours the pictures look a bit too busy for my liking, the last picture especially, you cant really tell what the subject of the picture is. Bear in mind i have no style or artistic flair whatsoever, so you have no reason to listen to my opinion :P

Shush child, i was hoping you would push me towards the sigma lense, which hopefully would make it less toy like.

Righty ho, im going to get a 350D, it seems to get lots of awards, and f-stop junkie says its good. So, im deciding on options, and im faced with a dilema. Currently i've got an old Canon EF 4-5.6 35-80mm lense, which is falling apart, and a nice EF 75-300 4-5.6 mark 2 lense. I know that these ranges will be halved for the DSLR, but would it be worth buying just the body, and using these lenses, or getting a lense kit. Now if i do get a lense kit, which seems to be a better option as i wouldnt mind some spangly lenses, i could get; Canon EOS-350D plus Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 or Canon EOS-350D plus Sigma 18-50mm f3.5-5.6 DC I know these lenses are very similar, but which would be a better choice? I dont need a long focal length lense aswell as ive got a 2x thingy i can use if needed for the better zoom lense. Or, only other thing i can think of, buy body only, and then a cheap lense, although i imagine that this really isnt a good idea as lenses arent cheap. Im going to buy from warehouse express online, as im gunna pay deposit for christmas, and then wait 9 months to pay the rest (with no interest, yay) so these are the options i can get for ~£600. Also, is it worth getting a 1Gb mem. card or anything? Just noticed i can get a 256 for free from canon, but will this take years to come through?

Played it before and got everything, it made my computer go super slow as there was so many tanks. I had 1000+ bullets, heh, was fun though. Gets a bit boring once you play about 3 times.

Echo easy are light, reliable and have a little flex. Monty's arent as light, but still strong. If you are willing to spend £125 on forks, have you looked at the Team CNC forks? Or the Gu mod forks? Both disc only though. Chuck me a pm if your looking to buy some.

Sucks more than a bit. I heard that the crowd thought it was all faked, goes to show how much people get into these things.

Still extremely long. I've only been on here like a yearand a half, yet i still remember people calling 1080 mega long :P What will the next fad be after high bb's?

Seems impossible at first, but just give it time. Its all technique. Until about 11000, where some serious pasty is required.

Loving the contrast of the bright rider and blurred background in number two. Fourth one from bottom wouldve been really nice if the pedals were nice n shiny, or taking it from the axle bolts perhaps? Have you ever used a Canon 350d? Im choosing between d70s and the 350d, and im being swayed by the canon because i've got some lenses i can use with it. Make me buy a nikon! What camera do you use tom? Some of them look better quality than the ones rob took.

If you havent got a booster one, then i guarantee it wont feel as good as with one on, and wont work as well. I was running my frame without a booster and it felt shit, and was no wear near reliable. Bosh an echo control booster on there or something. Otherwise, try the ronnie rim and koxx yellows combo. With a decent grind you wont be dissapointed.

27lbs baby.

I get that sometimes, just breath shallow for a while and it normally goes pretty quickly with me. Not sure what causes it though, normally coincides with indigestion though?

Cheers man, as long as hes not just some random bloke no-one knows then its all good. :angry:

My Girlfriend recently sent this chap some cash for a monty frame, which was advertised by koxx-boxx (i think), anyway, all went well, he said he will send the frame once the cheque clears, which would apparently be by yesterday. Problem is, he hasnt been on msn since wednesday, so if anyone has his phone number, or knows this guy, could you drop me a pm. :angry:

Yeah, i always start off with my left hand and get it as fast as i can, then transfer over to the right and try n beat my score.

Had mine for quite a while. Stopped using it for a few months. Recently tried it again, got my record up to 12114 :)

Valid points wayne, but, there is no point holding yourself back just to prove you can ride with less engagements. I have a king, it feels so much nicer than an ACS, you cant deny it. And saying that, an ACS has more engagements than a hope, so that must feel pretty wank. Engagements are good, and i dont know how people can say they would rather have 24, than 48 or 72. Good on hope for making all this trials stuff, hopefully it will help the sport grow.

I find that the mounts on all frames flex more than the frame anyway, so integrated boosters are pointless as they dont stop the mounts flexing.

Reminds me of the koxx levelboss with super monster T forks on it. Please say hes not joking, i want to see a monster bike.
