Do you like your longer wheel base? :giggle:

Other than that nice ride man. (Y)

Thanks :D ! I also like it.

But have most of the Trial Bikes a smaller wheel base then? I didn't knew that it was a pretty long one. Could it be it has became larger because it's a second-hand bike and not a new one? Because of all the hops/jumping/falling/etc.

what i have heard of them they are really good get it !!!!!!!!

I'm getting it this Tuesday :D ! I already love the bike although I even don't have it yet, lol. Just hope I don't break anything fast because I'm just a student and the prices for new Trial Bikes and new parts are so high :( ...

Ahh, now I see.. I don't mind what wheel base I have I think. Just about to start on Trial Bike so I don't know yet what I like. Just like the discussion on 20" and 26", it's all a mather of what you personally like! Need to find that out yet what suits me :P .
