Canardweb Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone, after a year of saving and work and research, I finally decided to buy a true trials bike (the MAD Phase 1.2 with its BB height at +5 mm and his gears were not really adapted to the practice of our sport ...). So I opted for a custom bike from tartybikes.co.uk that costs less because of the currency of the GBP/EUR today ...So, for less than 1400 euros (1200 pounds sterling to the normal currency would normally be 1800 euros), I could afford this bike:Frame: Onza Limey 3Fork: Echo Urban Disc / V-brakeStem: Tartybikes forged 125mm * 25 °Handlebars: Trialtech SportWheels: Front and rear: EchoTRFront tire: Maxxis Larsen TT 2.35Rear tire: Now: Continental Der Kaiser 2.5" (On picture: Maxxis Highroller Super tacky compound 42a 2.50)Cranks: Forged Trialtech SportFreewheel: TENSILEPedals: Wellgo alu Shin DigFront brake: Hope Mono trial carbon / tiRear brake: Grey Magura HS33 4 fingers lever with Coust! Pads (On picture: try-all clear pads although you can't really see them XD)Chain: Trialtech K810 Kool 3 / 32 "Headset: Onza Mongo 3Bottom Bracket: Onza ISISRim tape: Viz WhiteThe bike weighs 10kg4 (yes, but it's solid) and has for geometry: 1090; +35; 380Well, I want to thank:-Tartybikes for their assistance and for the assembly of the bike,-Scott Wilson for the assistance he gave me in the choice of the components,-Jack Meek because he advised me to buy this frame.-DPD Group for sending the bike super fast (sent by Tartybikes on Wednesday 5th August at 4 pm French time and received at home on the 7th August at 10:30 am French time!)Thank you to all the members of this forum for helping me in finally finding a passion that I will not stop after one year ...Tell me what you think of the bike ...

the trials mop Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 One question: how shall I put the front brake hose?Explain precisely please, because I have tried many ways but I am not happy with any...have it as you do now apart from wrap it around the fork leg once, that'll solve some of the stray hose.jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
