Inspired Dave Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 If you haven't been following my blog and profile page on myspace, this is probably news to you...The first batch of Inspired Fourplay 24" trials frames have just arrived in the UK in the last couple of days. Expect to see a few sponsored riders on their sexy new frames in the next week or so!As the first batch was a limited number, after all sponsored riders took their pick the remaining stock has been snapped up by Tarty Bikes, with other dealers in the queue to receive their stock in around 3-4 weeks.As you can see from the pics, every effort has been made to offer a frame that not only rides well, but has a classy look and a great build quality.These frames are the perfect choice for anyone who wants to add some style to their street riding, but still be able to do some of the more 'traditional' hook, sidehop and gap style moves normally associated with more 'competition' orientated bikes. As demonstrated by Ali-C and Danny Mac, for stylish street riding with a mixture of spinning bmx-influenced moves and also pure trials, you honestly can't beat the fun ride of one of these bikes. I know it sounds cheesy here, but when you've ridden one you'll see exactly what I mean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired Dave Posted November 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 good work dave will you be releasing other inspired bike products in the future?also who else will be selling these frames apart from tarty bikes?steveOther products, we'll see! Stockists; I've spoken to a couple of more 'normal' mountain bike shops that have expressed interest in stocking the frames, and I'll be speaking with a number of dealers I have my eye on when the second batch arrives.I'll be launching the website next week I hope, so details of all stockists will go up there as and when they confirm their first orders .

011001000110010101110010 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 385 chain stays?! Ive not ridden one of these yet, but Ive had 385 chain stays on my curtis and it didnt feel as good as my current 380 stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 385 chain stays?! Ive not ridden one of these yet, but Ive had 385 chain stays on my curtis and it didnt feel as good as my current 380 stays.The Inspired will have a higher bb than the Curtis I would think? The higher bb makes it act like it has shorter chainstays than it actually does, this should give a much more 'lively' ride than other 24" frames previously released.

011001000110010101110010 Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Sounds like more of a trialsy alternative, but I will hold off my oppinions until I have ridden one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
