I just don't see the point of drops. It's not good for you wrist, for your bike. I agree you have to have technic to land properly but it's too dangerous for me.
My mate is in their team. Since he got the frame his riding performance evolved a lot. I rode a bit too. It feels great even if I am not fan of high bb. The dropout system is amazing. After the thoughts of my friend the headtube angle is just perfect. He is using it with a 35 mm offset TMS fork (I guess). If you have the money go for it. Cheers
Magellan Tucana model 2005. These are from Hungary. Aluminium. Seat. Geo: wheelbase: 1075 mm stays: 385 mm BB: +10 head: 72 degrees price: 16.500 ft = 54.41 pounds .... cheap as hell. Why? Bad quality? NO. But people ride bikes without seat and with 4 bolt mounts. Maybe you can find a 2006 model. I think those have 4-bolt mounts. Check out here: http://biketrial.hu/shop/?do=termek&id=383 You may contact the dealer to find out if they are willing to ship. Good luck. PS: I had one of these and they ride pretty well. Only thing I hate was the 2 bolt mounts. So shity with a magura.
Here a few photos from the last romanian contest of the year. It was held on december 12-13 in a supermarket in Oradea, Romania. A big thank you for the crew who organized it. gallery 1 gallery 2 gallery 3
The 5th picture reminds me the old days when the local trial scene was in it's early ages and wide bars were the way to go. People who had no money or the possibility to buy a one they enlarged their bars using a pair of permanent markers.
The resolution is 640x480. It was filmed with a simple photo camera. The budget is tight. At some places we simply had no space and also we were experimenting with different angles. ::D:D:D:D:D:D Thank you everybody for watching. Your feedback is very appreciated.
