Tom Booth Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Just thought I'd put some pictures up of my new bike (the must have for the SM, vee's, short stem, soon to have good high riser bars) , feels lovely to ride.(Ignore previous pictures, it looked rubbish compared ) Click for larger imagesSpec -Ashton Justice Fatty R'sMiddleburn superpro Ti bash on 175 armsFire-eye FE318 bars, TryAll 15*x100mm StemRear hope Pro2 on Onza Hog Rim, sapim spokesFront Hope XC on Reggie rim, sapim spokesHigh Rollers front and rearRear SD5 arms, plaz CRM pads in Heatink backing's, Onza V-Daptors, Stolen linear Slick cable, SD5 leverHope Mono Trial 203 front (Update 13/5/09)Updated, New tyres, new back rim, sprayed the front wheel, tensioner up on the hub bolt, an a magura with Koxx Browns and a 160 front rotor after bending my 203.Ride's soooo good now. Just needs a booster to get rid of the massive flex, Trialtech 2bolt should do the trick I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Looks good Tom. Nice to see people still using the badly drilled hole in the seat to direct cables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 I wondered who that was I've reshaped it a bit so the cable passes through it easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey1991 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 've always had a fancy for an ashton because theres just something about them that i like, that really does seem to signify what i mean lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 (edited) You certinly know how to take pics of your bike...nice and plain so everyone can see whats going on. Thanks for that.It just looks like you could jump on that bike and feel at home on it, and it would ride with no creaks or rattles or rubs or the chain skipping or the brake slipping. Solid in other words.I do agree with the bars though. I would get some montys. I rode my ashton for about a year n a half and tried so hard to get on with a really low front end and it just didnt happen!!HIGH FRONT ENDS ON ASHTONS FOR THE WIN!!!!!! it just compliments the long reach really well.Nice bike man.Oh and how far in do you run your levers!!!

Ross McArthur Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 There long grips, so my hand sits on the ends of the grips which makes up for it....You mean your hands sit on the inside of the grips? as opposed to the ends? if it was the ends your hands wouldnt be able to reach...unless your E.T. and touch boys bums.
