r2wtrials Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I was after trying a higher BB than my old Pure so i have brought this... A Meta VTT frame.I added my existing parts and had a quick hop... certainly comes up onto the rear wheel easier, very nearly had me on my arse first time!!after making sure that i like it, which i think i will, i may go for a white frame and copy the original graphics but in black...

r2wtrials Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 no... Ben Johnsons. No dents or cracks and just a few rock scratches. As i have ridden with him for the last year i know how it has been ridden and i like the Meta's as they have gone for good strength and not bowed to the fashion of ultra lightness for the sake of it... I don't give a shit if it is 400g or whatever heavier. I know they test their products for a long time and won't release them until proved reliable.... not heard of too many breaking, if any, under normal use. And i won't be doing huge stuff that is for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 ... had a 3 hour ride in swindon this morning and love this frame already. I feel much more confident on it on the back wheel.... will go for the white spray job and new graphics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted September 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 ... well, i love it. The +40 bb seems to suit me and i feel much more confident on it. I will even drop off picnic benches now, and not in one hopeful lunge but hop up to the edge and off. A vast improvement for me!! Here is the bike about set up as i will keep it now...... and here is the bench !!! plus a few of me out playing. Got to keep the old joints moving you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeperson45 Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Love that frame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks for that... at 44 you don't need to leap off huge things to have fun. In fact, it would probably be the exact opposite!! Trials is all about enjoyment and we have a level that makes us happy..anyway, here is the bike watching the sun go down after a ride this evening..... even some of me riding it HERE. robmitch is the good rider!
