Well the good thing when you are buying, but bad thing when you are selling, is that trials bikes dont keep their value that much after they have been used. So when selling expect not to make anywhere near what it would be new. So hopefully people wont be willing to pay much and you can start riding soon!!

I dont know if it counts as a fear but wth. I hate talking in front of large groups / crowds of people. I go bright red, start sweating, and muddle up my words loads. Its always happened, especially in school when I used to get to close to crying if a teacher asked me to read something out the everyone! I think its getting easier as at a mates wedding, I had alot of trouble doing my best man speech, but no crying!

Not a huge fan of Echo's, but it looks nice and tidy. And old-skool Marin ***! Damn good bikes Marins, cant beat 'em!

Well its very much a trials bike! You just gotta decide that you definatly want to go for mod (20" wheel) and you're sorted! Cant help you with the price though, I really dont know how much mods go for nowadays! But I think if you keep your eye on it you might be lucky!!

Again, probably not my first choice of car for 17k, but then again if I had loadsa dosh and already had a decent car or two, definatly! And it really cant be that hard to get a car bodywork/bodykit specialist to make you a Back To The Future lookalikee!!!

When I was learning to hop forwards, I tried getting to the back wheel, then doing kinda mini-manuals. half pedal forwards along the ground, stop, half pedal ect. Then eventally you can start pedalling a bit harder till you start to leave the ground! If you can wheelie, this shouldnt be a problem!

Nice work! I didnt even get results like that for my GCSE's (5 C's & 2 D's) Lets hope everyone else is happy with theirs!!!!

the sex. the one and only sex..... Even im starting to like 24".....
-
Bit of both really! Stuff like sidehops are a bit easier, but riding from place to place, and even the first high back wheel I did I hit my knees on the bars! LoL. But I have been wanting to get into more streety stuff for a while, so its all good.

Im downloading this right now - wooo. Im a vet of the original DoD, (tarquin76 on XFire) cant wait to see what Source looks like. Allthough most of the reviews I have heard arent good. Oh well, its free!!!

Just got my hands on a Zebdi Mk2 off a friend. Hell of a frame! Considering I previously owned a Levelboss 1100, I think the PX rides rather beautifully!!

Got Middleburns? Mine started creaking horribly the other day as my bash had come loose. Easy to fix.

The pimpest ever are the two (maybe more) roadie carbon ones. Literally a shaped peice of carbon on ti rails. No padding or anything and sooo comfy! They come in normal carbon and white carbon! Woooo
-
Club Roost forks? I been running them for like 3-3 1/2 years and still no sign of bendage/crackage ect! (Sorry for the advertisement, either that or a pic of my heap, LoL)
-
Well thanks guys, lol. I just forgot really. And as I have to Bluetooth the pics to my pc one at a time, it took forever! But the ones worth keeping(ish) are HERE. Dont like 'em? Well I might go cry

Yeh it was. The ride arranging was entitled GCSE ride so I used it again...

Saw this a long time ago and pretty much love it. They custom build them to your own geometry too - yay!

I just bled my Maggie for the first time since I bought it 2 years ago (AAAIIIRRRR) And used water as reccomended by a friend. Oh my god it feel beautiful now. I will always be using water from now on!

I have owned both the Reefer and XpTrials, (well 3 x reefers) and I can say without a doubt the CR is much better. The Missions only lasted 3months each at the most before breaking, and the CR lasted over a year. And i just found it alot easier to ride, and I could basically do alot more on it! Plus Mission get really pissy about their warranties, CR will replace it without too much fuss! Laters.
