It's decided by a panel of judges -> http://www.bikebiz.com/news/29692/BikeBiz-...lists-announced

Following what I thought was a wind-up phone call from Rob Poyser, I did some digging and found that TartyBikes is a finalist for 2008 Online Retailer of the Year in BikeBiz's Industry Awards! The 5 finalists in this category are: Chain Reaction Cycles Tarty Bikes Ultimate Bikes Cycle Store Custom Riders You can see the BikeBiz magazine here: http://www.bikebiz.com/print-edition?download and turn to page 15, or online here: http://www.bikebiz.com/news/29692/BikeBiz-...lists-announced A very shocked and excited Adam eagerly awaiting 6th October (results day)

I guess so, but it creates a lot of un-necessary hassle/aggro and tarnishes the reputation of the product.

We found the rims to be pretty good, but only for the right riders. The 'problems' came about with riders buying super lightweight rims then destroying them quickly even though we tried to steer them towards something more durable. Plus, DOB seem to have disappeared, no contact at all from them despite numerous emails

Not on the Sky range - check the pic!

It really isn't difficult, there is plenty of access to both bolts, certainly more than the current frames which I had no problem with: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/bikes20/hoesel6.jpg

Yeah it'll work great Tom, wouldn't bother with square holes though as it takes ages and whipping the wall out saves more weight than squaring up the holes! Ads

Price TBC, I will post details when available. They aren't Release is imminent, other details to be released when I have them. Nah, Tom has the current XTP, the Sky range has different head tube, BB area, dropout, brake area (see new pics in 1st post) Why not? If you think through the forces applied to the head tube, material has been removed from the neutral areas and added in high stress locations. Top of the range. Stem, rims, bars, pedals, brake clamps. Weight of the rim brake frame is said to be around 1.45kg but this is not confirmed yet. Geo TBC also. Not sure about the bars, will ask! Yeah, the stocks are sweeeettt as well. No. New pics in first post Ads

Youtube: Oh and the filming was done by his mate mainly!

I'm on it

Here's a video from (mental) Martin, those of you who have met him will definitely remember him 4 mins long, riding from various places across the North West, well worth a watch if you have been into trials for a few years.

Haha, no no no, the wheels were built! Well, that's the general queue in the workshop, but I found a spare hour on Friday afternoon, would have been a waste otherwise!

9.52kg complete, built from scratch in 50 minutes! Cheers Adam

Ti bolts, carbon lever blade, pimp! Cheers Adam PS: Yes, I would have slammed the seat, but I wanted the logo for pictures

I know I am I just used an angle grinder (cutting disc), hacksaw was taking aaagggeeesss.

Just click the 'Add to Basket' button and all the options with their relevant prices are displayed (same with any of the products on our site)

Haha, yeah sure, back in work Monday

Take the chain off and spin the cranks - does the sprocket 'wobble'? If so, check the BB isn't bent... Which cranks do you have also?

I believe the Echo etc forks used to be U6 and there will have been some residual stock, hence why some forks (ZOO! for example) seemingly being stronger in certain areas than Urbans, for example. At the moment I believe they are being manufactured in 6061-T6. The Trialtech forks are 7005. Dave mentioned to me that he looked into U6 forks but the price wasn't do-able (with a 'proper' pricing structure anyway).

:wink2:

Hmm, will just need to get used to it I think?
