Matt_Thibeau Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 the disc mounts on that look a little weak? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetjibs Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 i likes it however, i stil think the frames would be better/stiffer/stronger if there was more support between bb area and brake mount area on seatstays (ie like ozonys, coust etc) but yeh i know thats marts design and it works ok. stil both of my justice frames cracked around bb ...looks good though. better dropouts would be nice too.

JohnyMilton Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Its alright, but theres to much stickers on there for my liking...but Id still have it, cause I love my Ashton...lolSo whats the Geo on that beast...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Any idea what the proto parts are Heath? From what I can see the majority is TrialTech or Hope, and all of that stuff can be bought from Tarty. The forks have now been released, the bars have been too, the cranks and bash and pedals have been out for a while, the rest seems to be just Hope team kit? I know the frame is pre-production but isn't it just pretty much the old frame just restickered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Neal Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Like the cable routing he's using - good way to save scratching anything.Not so keen on the amount of stem stackers, the +20 mount for the rear disc (just get the bigger caliper to start with) or the dropouts.Apart from the new disc mount it looks pretty much like the old one - but why change what works.Are they going to do the longer geometry version that Ali was riding/testing or is that it?Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Looks awesome!! Hope when they come out they will still have rear disc mounts, but tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-baby158 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Abit less green and it would look so nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 (edited) Main thing Martyn told me about is he has worked with geometry a lot... and the disc mount will be between upper and lower stays. He has colours and design basically worked out but that will remain hidden until nearer release time. Not sure that the Justice name is staying though.i actually like the colours, just in a different design perhaps.and the best news... i got some relentless stickers to go on my oldskool Giant ... oh, Martyn and the show are at Newquay for the end of this week if you want to see it for yourself.You can go to the ANIMAL site and click on events and then the biketour logo to get the dates for the rest of the year.

JonMack Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 and the best news... i got some relentless stickers to go on my oldskool Giant So you ARE still riding. Will have to catch up soon mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 riding will be putting it a bit strong!!! The bike is on the bench in the garage and comes out for a hop once in a while... remember i am 43 now and have a slip disc as well, the motorcycle trials riding gets first shout if i am healthy!!

JonMack Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 That's a shame mate, used to have such a good laugh riding with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I WANNA SEE ROWANS 24"!!! Martyn unpacked a new 24 inch frame for me to see.... disc mounts are between the stays as the Stock will be. He had it directly from factory so still bare ally, and liked the look of it. We both thought a set of stickers on it and go!I took a few piccies of the riding... Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Same geo as the ET? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemybutt Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 REALLY like the 24". Ditch the crummy seat and it would look awesome. Looks quite burly though, so maybe its designed to last longer than the ET used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Histon Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 24in looks brilliant, that bike looks a little cluttered mind, could do to be simpler then it would be gorgeous. can't wait til these frames come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Same geo as the ET?I think it may be .... I measured mine (with inspired forks and hope headset) @ 385 , 1025-1030, +20ish, not sure about headangle ...disc mount is indeed between the stays on mine (and will be tested ) all that is left is hubs from hope and i can build it up and take some hi-res piccys for you ... (its sooo perfect spec wise ...) RJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
