Krisboats Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the forum dude. As far i was aware theres a few riders located in/around poole, when you look at your own replies theres a little link under your name that says county. Clicking that should bring up other nearby riders who are registered on here. And in your case there IS a fair few As for new frame ideas, Tartybikes, Selectbikes.com, Trials-Uk and Cleanbikes.co.uk are all decent sites to go and have a look at new frames and parts and they're all very up to date with stocks/pictures.With regards to the saddle, Leeson bikes do some nice more traditionally geometried frames, and can customize a frame easily enough. Basebikes do the TA26 which is a seated 26" frame with a pretty nice geometry that is currently an absolute bargain in the frames section on tartybikes (links above). Theres also the whole craze with 24"'s that might be worth looking into, though i'm not quite so up-to-date with all the latest frames and what not.

Krisboats Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Things are on the up as i have just bought a base frame from tartybikes.I will get my forks powder coated at the weekend and then sart building it when it arrives.I saw that bike and was just about to reccomend a base for certain, then i read that sentence. To be honest i think from the looks of it the base might be your ideal frame for getting back into trials, especially as you can just switch the parts over. Make sure to stick up some pictures in the Bike Pics section in full members once you've got the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
