eMAyaRKay Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 So I've not ridden trials in about 2 years now, the bug was slowly eating away at the back of my head to get back into it so I decided to build up my old old steed and get back on it! And here's what I created... Quick spec: Frame n' Forks - Pashley + Pashley Echo Urban Rims - rear Hope Pro 2 Trials XTR Levers - Avid 7 rear with Heatsink Reds and Echo Booster - Avid 5 Front - random pads Not really had chance to go for a ride on it yet, might go out for a spin today if I get chance, also now living in London where I've not ridden before so hopefully get out on a ride with others someday, or if anyone's up for a ride some time give us a shout!

N.Wood Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Ha, West Norwood... The ghetto in which I grew up in Bike looks good, theres not any riders that I know of around those parts, but obviously just a short trip into the City Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMAyaRKay Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Cheers! Yeah can't say I've seen anyone riding around in the local area but as you say the city seems a good option, if I jump on the train I'm at London Bridge in 20 mins which gives me all of South Banks area to play with...

mods Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Looks great two lads used to ride them when i was growing up. Both of them snapped them and so pashley replaced the frames and as a favour did them in cream. They were the only two in the country that colour. I could only dream of such a bike back in the day!

eMAyaRKay Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Cheers for the comments guys! I had this frame built up about 4 years ago, managed to put 2 cranks in it but had them welded up and its been sweet ever since. Took it out for a little spin today and it rides pretty nice [still getting used to actually riding trials again] hopefully I'll be riding more soon so I can put it through its paces...

Rusevelt Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Looks awesome, really cool bike Stem looks a touch long for streety bunnyhops and stuff? I was thinking the same thing, bike does look lush though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMAyaRKay Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Yeah I kinda guessed at the stem length when I put it together, I'll give it a few rides and if I'm not feeling it, it's not the end of the world just to throw on a stumpy...
