the phone line at work has been off the hook with new riders wanting bikes!

These are some old pics I drew a while back.

Its not a mod length stem, but it does suit the bike very well!

I have some, not had ANY problems with them, plus they are pretty light too.

not a fan.

I have no GCSEs but I did study at college to get a deploma in graphic design. I was going to take it further and plan to make a living from it but I HAAAAATE computers and I just got fed up with it. I then went to a place called "Key Training". its meant for kids who have been kicked out of school, but it was the only place near me that taught welding (which I love doing). Through them I got an apprentiship at a wire factory where I was being trained up as an engineer to make and upkeep the machines that bend/ cut the wire. To be fair, that was pretty good. The guy who was training me was on £25 an hour! But I couldn't cope with the hours (7.30 - 4.30 is too much for me). I would rather have less money and be happy than have money but be unhappy. I was then jobless for a while until I got a call off Tartybikes asking if I fancied a job. I accepted and I am still there now. The hours are better, I am working with things and people that interest me and I get loads of help with bike parts. I have never written a CV in my life.

not that light! Pretty average grinds I would say

they are Azonic bars, you can get them from chainreaction

I usually get over 20 grinds with my trialtech rims

I would go with the TR. They are the same material as urbans (so hold grinds well) but are a bit lighter. If you are breaking these rims, I would be looking more at riding smoother.

lol, Stan's brake is the BEST I have ever felt!

different, but will fit with modification (not that you'll want to change;))

don't drink

I think the zoo frames fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch!

haha, I don't know much about the compounds used other than the ones that seemed good and the ones we could bite chunks off with our teeth

same as the older original compound

same as rowan really, I am always pushing to go bigger, I don't work on style that's something that just develops over time.

haha, interesting music! Cool vid too, keep it up

your free to order off tartybikes, but I aint going to serve you. I am fed up of your immaturity. You say that I don't have a life outside trials, why does this bother you? I have been riding for over 11 years, of course trials is my life! What do you guys want to be remembered for? at the moment its for being arrogant and abusive. Good luck with life. Anyone who knows me will know that I am very easy going, it takes a lot to wind me up. This has just pissed me off out right!

how is it going to get posted once your all banned? Forget me bringing anything home again to save postage, in fact, if you ever do order something, it had better be with someone else as I aint serving you lot.

I melted a dob frame in a fire, it was goooood! just like chemistry class at school

seriously, wtf has brought this on?

WTF! Ok, this is pissing me off now. The last time I rode with Matt, it was for about an hour and a half, in that time we rode two walls AT MOST and I never saw Matt do anything other than sidehop. In between sidehopping the wall, he was always ripping the pis out of me for liking natural and comps and ripping the piss out of my bike because I had light parts and some drilled components. There's a good reason why I choose not to go riding with him. I like to enjoy riding, not be the butt of jokes. And whats with the "stupid" comment? Are you part of the "crew" that hates natural riders too? Trials has gone downhil

I am yet to see him do anything other than a sidehop when I have ridden with him!

give us a shout tomorrow and we can talk about you and what might be best for your needs
