You can still use chain tugs, just requires a little bit of modification (of the chain tug, not the frame)!

It is a +20 bottom bracket, with approx 1100mm wheelbase. The front end of the frame is quite long though! The stem Thomas used to run on his Dave was the PZ31 in 120mm: As seen here. He's bloody tall though, so I'd recommend something a little shorter if poss, maybe one of the new Echo stems in 115mm x 15, and then a spacer or two? Adam

Don't forget 'bearded lady'! 'Tart' comes from way back when I used to ride XC and had a quite pimp bike, therefore I was a tart!

Not in the A3, but full build bikes are available with any parts as always!

Arriving today

What bars do you use?

Looks so easy in that pic... It claimed many a five, haha.

Yep, both of them do

See you there bashers!

Good idea! There's also 900+ wristbands left to sell as well

Quick question: how would people feel about an online entry form? It would go something like this: - Go to the relevant website and fill in the form online (name, address etc) and click submit. - Then you get a confirmation copy emailed to yourself, and the other pops into Dave Butler's email inbox (which he can then print and take along on the day of the comp). - There would also (possibly - would still have to chat about this) be an option to pay online with Paypal if you wished, or alternatively you can just turn up at the event with your cash/cheque and pay that way. How does that sound? Just trying to think of ways to make entering easier, and improve the overall ease of entering! Cheers Adam

Hi Ben, Might be worth chatting to your retailer, there should be some form of warranty if its only a week old. Cheers Adam

Dave has some good ones --> http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/blog.php I'll get him to post the one about Martyn Ashton, ladies clothes and a Profile hub when he gets back from holiday (yes, all in the same dream)

Indeed it is, the Team booster has more vertical clearance and is designed specifically for mod bikes. Didn't he have to grind it though? haha. The Control and Team boosters are stiffer than the £20 2-Bolt and 4-Bolt boosters - that's where the extra price lies, there's a lot more work in them to machine out the pockets where material isn't needed. Stiffer or cheaper - that's the main choice

YMSA + UCI = Fun!

Too late Good to see you have a bike again Mike, and glad you like it! Personally I'm not overly keen on it, can't put my finger on it though, it just looks a bit *too* home-made for me, sorry...

Directions ahoy: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=82171

Bananas and Custard!

Sounds like a recipe for death, brakes have to work both ways Marky
