As Krisboats said I don't think 1.5cm would make much difference. Bar and stem would make more difference I think. I've got a 1065 control with a 90mm echo stem and zoo bars and it's easily bunnyhoppabe
It's a short, rides really nice, still bunnyhoppable. With regards to colour the rim tape will soon be blue and the pink grips are just for fun edit: forgot to say it has a fresh products tensioner now
It's a link like this which is half the size of a normal link, it should help you to get the right length. Not too sure where the best place to get them is though.
I pinchflatted one of those maxxis tubes but that might have just been due to my crappy rear tyre. I'd say just buy a cheapo one and just replace it when it goes. He rides mod btw people.
At that fun trial at Keighley I think Davetrials stopped caring about how wet and muddy he was at around the time he purposefully jumped into one of the pools in one of the sections He was wet and freezing all the way home
I haven't tried that many grips, but my dmr zip grips are extremely comfy. They're the only ones I've tried up to now that I can ride without gloves with.
You're right as long as the frame and forks don't have any wheels in. I don't quite know if this is what you're getting at but bb rise is how much higher the bb shell is than the imaginary line between the front and rear axles.
That's the bloke who owns trialsshop.co.uk isn't it? I've heard loads of stuff about him not being too quick with delivery and not having very good customer service.
