Rebelistic Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi,I was just browsing on Tartybikes and noticed the Czar Freetials 08 frame. It looks quite nice, has anyone ridden one?Just wondering how they ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've never riden one, but apperently it's quite short. Also the seat cant go down very far because it hits the tyre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've heard that the wheels it runs are about 50.8mm larger than they ought to be...*removes tongue from cheek* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebelistic Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I've heard that the wheels it runs are about 50.8mm larger than they ought to be...*removes tongue from cheek* I don't understand - do you mean the break mounts are in the wrong place, or the chain stays/seat stays are too long? - doesn't it use standard 26 inch wheels?

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 it's one of them 24" jokes that only the really trendy riders understand...Haha, sorry... Yeah, 50.8mm = 2" and 24" is the way forward as far as streety trials goes in my humble opinion. I'm far from trendy though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelistic Posted March 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 :$ Haha, my metric/imperial conversion isn't too great. Should have said 2 inches!Now I have been tempted by 24 inch for a while. Maybe when I get my stock bikes sorted (and my bank account recovers) I'll try an Inspired 24 or something similar.

I'm far from trendy though...24 is gay danny mac is way sexier on 26"...as holroyd,as you, as ali, as anyone26 is the futurejust my opinion and this czar is ok but prefer a good old ashton or 2004 short pitbull...a lot of oldschool trial frame are streety just because they are short and flicky...seat is useless,but classic geo with low bb and short chainstay is the sex (my god, I love my justice frame) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Thomson Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I want one so badly!Proper disk mount Tarty could you build up like a wee show model thing? Rather than the one on webcyclery that looks like arse... Build a pretty one to convince me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build a pretty one to convince me!But then technically the bike wouldnt be new then so all them parts would have to be sold at a knocked down price looseing them money. And if they arnt flying off the shelves now then building one up proberly won't make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than the one on webcyclery that looks like arse... Build a pretty one to convince me!First positive comment about the frame. I'd be tempted to try one but not enough to part with £300. Still it's nice to see a modern old school frame. Shame no one seems to have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
