I was 43 on friday... birthday ride was in order.

really like the way it rides and for my low level of ability it will do for now. This is about as high as i can get onto, and don't ask me to hop off it yet!!!

Looks good. Hopping off is not as hard as getting on it. I usually do drops that are a lot bigger than I can ride up.

it's a confidence thing for me... about 6 years ago i hopped to the edge of something about 4 foot high to drop off and went a bit too far and flipped backwards and hit my spine on the edge. Ultimately that was when i stopped biketrials and also the start of my slipped disc.... now when i get onto anything and want to hop off my brain talks me out of it. Just need to ride more and gradually build up again.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm actually the same way about tapping. About the second or third time I did it, I got up on it then fell off the side and my back landed straight on a rock. Hurt forever. Then it healed and now I got a scar from it. Probably one of the most painful things I've felt.

how does that one ride?

was great... allowed me to get back into the sport, just fancied something a bit lower and longer.... and something that didn't ram a seat up my arse when i slipped of the pedals :D

Just popped out to the garage and measured the bike in a few areas...

Now with the Echo Control forks on it measures.....

spindle to spindle length is 1100mm, middle of BB to rear spindle centre is 383mm and BB height is 55mm .... bloody hell!! And Ryan Pekala said it felt short!!!
