duckwars Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 http://www.observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=42434I'm thinking about buying this frame and building it up.... Would this be good for street? Is this designed to take 26" wheels? Could I fit 24" wheels into it?Also, on a side note, building up a trials bike, are there any specific parts that might be rare or difficult to get because they have to be trials specific as opposed to general bike stuff. I know that a lot of trials bikes have flywheels on the crank (or chain ring?) which is very bizarre to me...Anyway, all coments welcome and helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 It is a very old trials frame i beleive, but you would be better with something a bit more modern (lighter and better geometry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Gray Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Used to be the most sort after trials frame back in the day i think everyone had one, there classic, nice frames man, just mind them cracing around the bb shell. trials kings used to ride them.
