Ross McArthur Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Something different and Trials-Forum don't like it...shock.

spaceman Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 The colours are loud, but interesting. I'm neutral. You could always change them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Although not my choice for colours i have to say that it is nice to have something a bit different. And i can see it perhaps attracting some youngsters to have at least a look and maybe they will decide to see what all this trials lark is about..I had an email from Martyn today, part of which says ..."These are images of my bikes not the production ones so the parts will be more affordable on the complete bikes. They do give an idea of the team designs though.".. i do know from speaking to him that the geo is different and he has been playing around with different frame lengths etc... also the rear disc mount has appeared inside the rear triangle as he said back at the local show when we last spoke. I believe it is a good idea to perhaps keep the price a bit lower to attract newer riders into trying something that is a proper trials bike instead of just a small mtb. And as hinted in the sarcastic comments above, something Martyn is very good at is getting trials out there and spreading the word. He was part of the duo that first enabled the public to see biketrials instead of it being only for the few.

Alex Dark Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 nice looking frames but the multi-coloured ness is a bit I say solid colour, or the old justice colour scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duck Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Don't like that. Mega boring looking.If that was a person, it would stand in the corner of the room during social gatherings and not talk to anybody and/or pretend to be on the phone.

manuel Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Anyone know if the geo is the same as the 06's?at the moment I would say unlikely. I think its going to be a bit more like the proto martyn has been riding for ages - maybe similar to the one ali rode ? its not set yet though ?

Tom_ Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Out of interest, whats the geo on the current protos? Or is that all top secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 No way! They were the best riding frames ever.He he. Thats what i thought about the silver ashtons, then the black and red ones came out then they became the best riding frames ever....See a pattern here, we might be lucky and the new ones will be minted. As bad as I may think the paint job looks on the 26, ill still be saving up for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) ashtons are definitely not the best riding frames ever!!!! maybe its peoples set ups, but i have never ridden a nice one! No offence martyn, but you should have recognised me at t in the parkEDIT @ 17.20pm - Ross i know your going to make some funny joke about this, but dont because its predictable Edited November 5, 2008 by ben_travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I think the colours are a bit much, but nothing a spray can can't sort out.The 24" looks really nice but then I like 24" bikes.the 24" looks nicer to everyone than the 26 which has the green parts distracting the eye from the overall design.I remember those old loud BMX days and they sucked then, but if you look at the colours that BMX's are coming out in this year the Ashton bikes are not loud at all, and the kids are loving the bright dayglo coloured BMX's.I think they will appeal to the younger masses, which is a very good thing.Look at the picture of the soon to be coming Koxx Purple sky, now thats a clowns bike if ever I have seen one.Blah,blah,blah,blah.............................
