Around £479 - but wait til you see some proper photos before you make your mind up about one. Always annoys me when Tribalzine post up poorly shot and edited photos of new frames which gives them a bad reputation right from the start, especially when the manufacturer has specifically told us the photos are not to be seen by customers.

Ali hates 24s, so maybe not, haha. My Echo's pretty handy for trialsy stuff, although I'm more street-orientated. Stan bosses the purer trials side of things on his Echo. More so when he had a disc on the back than now when he's brakeless, but it was still capable. It's obviously not as good as a 'proper' trials bike though. It pretty much comes down to working out what you/your friend spend more time doing, then buying the frame to suit the majority rather than the minority.

I've got a 25.4mm pivotal post here in work, the internal profile of the tubing is elliptical and at it's thinnest point is 2.35mm. You'd need to take off 1.6mm to get it to fit so it'd be pretty slim there, but you could always whack some extra tubing or something in there to sort of buffer it? They get thicker towards the top too, get up to about 2.5mm, so it'd be less drama there. The thicker sides of the post are about 3 inches thick so you shouldn't have a problem there. /\ That was me (Mark), I'm just rinsing Premiere on Adam's computer...

Just like a trials bike... definitely a slippery slope! haha

Cos you've never properly ridden an Inspired with your bar and stem combo!

Plenty left, same compound as the original tyre, but I don't ride very often.

No, sorry, not heard any news at all since the prototype I got a few months ago.

Way lighter than an Eagle Claw - the Stiky Lite is around 850g (I have one).

Sell the car, buy something cheaper that won't cripple you - or just leave it as is.

About 3 months.

I9s haven't been tried and tested on trials bikes though, they *could* be amazing but nobody knows yet... King do post data about their hubs, tested to 800 ft-lbs, more than an I9 which claim 700 I think?

+1! Missed it last night... booo.

They were both Echo, both were new, and one of them was largely comprised of titanium

Be reet... had a few rides on a hub I modded in the same way before I killed my ankle, worked perfectly (which was quite surprising actually, haha) Not that I can condone that sort of modification, of course...

Got it in one... We'll see how long it takes before I have a trip to the dentist

That was the plan! But the hub doesn't seem to be up to it... Got a (96 engagement) Pro2 on standby... haha

Wheelbase = a bit long, need some Inspired forks...

Haha

At first I thought 'uh oh, professionally produced video about a trials rider... gonna be the usual terrible filming, cheesy...' - but NO! That was awesome, the perfect sort of 'level' I thought, balancing riding clips with chat and very 'to the point', nice one!

Nice man! When you have something built let me know and I'll come grab some photos

Snow camo frame fading into a black front end?

It very much depends on the rest of the parts - could be anything from 9kg to 12kg.

Nope
