Pashley26 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 marko said it was a bit naff and spongey.Pretty much the response i got to. Said it was fun for a while but the frame was so flexy he couldn't side hop at all ! But he could gap miles.Wouldn't say anything about what frame/s they were made out of or how he made them because he believes it's something marketable. Not as much info as i had hoped but still.....Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I really liked the look of the white proto that Mr.Ali . C was testin' and was kinda hoping for a 2008 release to replace my dying Base .Does anyone have a picture of this 'White Proto'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 marko said it was a bit naff and spongey.that was exactly how i'd expect it to be to be honestafter backhopping on a shite dual sus, i'd reckon any sus frame would be really weird to do trials on. To gap i spose you could just sit down really hard and quick and use the rebound from that to carry you forwards as well as a kick on the pedals.

Greetings Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I heard a rumour that Ashton wouldn't be bringing anymore Trials bikes out. The protos that were made for Ali C etc. were the last frames to be produced. So this just looks like they've stolen that niche in the market. More trials companies is always a good thing anway.Thought so as well. Must say I didn't like the idea of such a short frame, but after realizing it had a really steep head tube and 685mm reach, I'd love to have a go on one. There aren't really any substitutes for that frame in terms of geometry are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
