Rixy Posted February 1, 2010 Report Share Posted February 1, 2010 hi all, just thought i'd pop in and say hi ) been on the site for a couple of weeks now, just divulging some of the huge amounts of info thats available on here ) I've recently decided im gonna get back into trials, as i used to play at it a bit when i was younger, and then found the car (VW's infact,i run a local club lol) so i stopped riding.... I did however build a bike a few years back, which i have ridden half dozen times, but its a bit pants, so im now building another.... Just bought an ONZA T-Bird frame, and some Onza Fall Guy front forks...will use my HS33's off my other bike, and hopefully the bb, and truvativ husselfelt isis cranks and V8 pedals, will this make for a good combo?? All i need to find now are a pair of Wheels, and tyres, and inner tubes, think my headset and wide riser bars will be good for the bike too ) here's a pic of my old frame (was told it was a saracen x-tort, and i repainted it and stickered it up as this, only to find out it may be a baracuda afterall? - any ideas) and here's my new one - bargain find on ebay last week ) comments and views please peeps, also, are there any how to's on how to learn the hops, and tricks etc??

Alex Dark Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Holy BB drop.... heh T-birds ride fairly nice, but I'd recommend just buying a complete second hand t-pro If i were you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rixy Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Holy BB drop.... heh T-birds ride fairly nice, but I'd recommend just buying a complete second hand t-pro If i were you holy bb drop?? wat this mean?? i would buy a 2nd hand t pro, but the bird is here already, and the forks have been bought now (el cheepo again) so i reckon if i can rob all the bits off the other bike i have (the baracude / saracen) inc the maguras etc, then i can build the bird for under a hundred quid? so it'll be a cheap bike... dont wanna spend too much on a bike,as i dont know if im likely to use it too much yet, woudl rather start cheap, then if i get really into it, i'll deffo upgrade... thanks for you comments though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ft-midget Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 holy bb drop?? wat this mean?? Draw a line between the front and rear axle. then you'll see that the bottom bracket is below that line. 99% of trials bikes nowadays have a bottom bracket above that line.
