gilly

I would but im busy all day! Can you ride sunday aswell? I'd be up for that

Take the guy up on his offer for the giant! I love my giants geometry so much they're awesome for street!

Was an awesome ride, i never realised portsmouth was so good for riding! Definitely have to visit there again soon..... I was the one on the Black Giant frame and the very bright t shirt.....

Haha you certainly did! And i thank you enormously for that! I am in your debt

Good idea, i was the guy in the tie dye t shirt riding the black Giant...

If you want to have a streety riding style then this frame would be perfect for you! Don't be put off by all these trials riders who are afraid of bike shaped bikes these days.

He speaks the truth! Its very rare to find "creative" natural riding, and creativity is what keeps your riding fresh and individual. I'm not saying theres anything bad about natural, merely that i dont enjoy it much, but people that think street is uncreative are WRONG! There are hundreds of different ways over a wall, its just a sad fact of trials that many of the riders on here don't seem to want to explore them all.

Ok a few months ago now i finally left the mod behind and defected to the land of big bikes...namely a giant...Sadly i broke it by riding with a loose bb once too often! So i got another 2 of them off two very kind members of this forum! Here be my steed now

Having ridden both, i'd say go for the echo tyres. Creepy crawlers last no more than a few months in my experience. Plus, for street riding echo tyres get much more grip in a skatepark!

On the other hand, there still are people out there that are not into long and low, and since there are so few frames out there that aren't these days you'll have quite a good market still!

I prefer street, i find it more aesthetically pleasing when riding and watching and i find you get more satisfaction from it. (Also theres no good natural anywhere near me!)

Yes i'd be interested if i ever needed another frame! There really are not enough frames like this around anymore!

Oh wow oops my bad! That will teach me to read things to quickly! Yeah i'll look into that though ideally i'm after something about 1040 wheelbase with my fatty forks....

Ooo wow that sounds good. I know this isn't the for sale section, (where i'm also asking about getting a replacement Giant) but whats its sorta rough geometry? Also how much would you be asking for it?

I've recently started having some serious bottom bracket issues with my giant team trials frame, to the point that i'm actively looking for a replacement before it dies entirely.... However, call me crazy but i want a trials frame with a proper seat which narrows my choice somewhat... I know a custom frame from Leeson would be ideal, but also very expensive which makes me reluctant to get one. I'm finding myself drawn to the base bikes TA26 simply because of how amazingly low the price is, exactly HOW snap happy are they? Also what is the Onza woodstock like? I've not really heard much about them and am interested as to how they ride.... I have a decidedly streety style of riding so a trials frame thats good for manuals bunnyhops etc would be nice... If anyone can help me at all it would be most appreciated! Thanks.....

Sorry posted into the wrong section becaus eim an idiot!.....If someone could close this that would be good...

My Giant has a bb drop! Beat that haha! I don't really notice anything wierd when i ride though, its a very easy frame to ride smoothly....

That was a really nice video, i love the fact that its hard to predict where your going next. Awesome lines and such smooth riding!

Good vid, do you ride in southampton often?

I think everyone should just have trials bikes with seats then the issue would never come up! (and people would be more comfy)

Does '04 count? If so my Giant Team Trials bunnyhops like a dream

I got a hair cut yesterday hehe yes i admit it was getting very long...
