Rusevelt Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Will either Dave, or Ali.C, be presenting the Inspired range at other shows later this year ie; next month's Cycle Show (7th-10th October 2010)at London Earls Court?

Ali C Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The Clan were hoping to do a show there but Unfortunately I think that's not happening now. BTW, this bike is wickid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Tea Why Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Will the v-brake mounted fourplay be available as a frame only? (contributing to the difficulty finding interest in the market.) Edited September 7, 2010 by Mat Tea Why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Will the v-brake mounted fourplay be available as a frame only? I believe so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean/pashley Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 bike looks sweet as, i wish i'd waited instead of getting a rockman switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanJohnstone Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Frame looks awesome, love it. If I had the spare moneys I'd get one of these built in an instant. Promoting this new steed is gonna be one heck of a challenge when you consider that this bike and Ali.C, are pretty much a unique breed of singularity in riding terms. Its gonna be a hard sell when todays riders are so divided in their own unique riding disciplines, Dave and Ali.C will have to effectively reach out to a generation of riders that or neither far left or far right, without treading on the toes of those of us who are adamant to kick up a fuss about why this bike has a seat or brakes. I disagree, I think Inspired have created the new 'new school' with the fourplay and think it will continue with the Hex. A different choice of riding style to TGS and brought back the fun and creativity of linking lines & tricks. Dave's created what I'm all about with Inspired and if I ever meet him i'll thank him for that lol I think all the 24" riders will want this 26 and it will require less 'commitment' to move to an inspired for any current 26 riders interested. Love that the 'Old skool' riding (which I have always referred to as 'Street') has become the 'new skool' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 I think all the 24" riders will want this 26 Possibly - having swapped between my bike and Ali's proto I still sorta prefer the feel of slightly smaller wheels. It's sort of a trade between stability and rolling ability and agility. My riding's more sort of BMX orientated so the maneuverveareuauaveruability of the Fourplay is still something that'd keep me on a 24 rather than a 26.

Rusevelt Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Im surprised that you (Mark W) haven't thought about building up a street bmx hybrid trials project. Basically you would just need a long 22-23 bmx frame, run fat 2in tyres, and run a low enough gearing to do the trials stuff. Just a thought....

aener Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 That really does look nice. I'm not interested in getting one, but I am interested to know if there's any word on the top-spec one's price? Only complaint would be the colour - and not because I don't like the red. That British racing green the prototype had was lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Ha ha, so suddenly everyone wants a short 26" bike with a seat? So can I rebuild my mk2 Justice and be cool again? Seriously though, if I hadn't bought the Curtis then this is just the thing I'd be looking for. Great video too, promotes the brand and bike really well. Definitely approve of the lass at the end too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally steaming!! Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 wow what an inovative bike, the designer really busted his gut over this one haha it just looks like a fourplay that takes 26" wheels zzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 wow what an inovative bike, the designer really busted his gut over this one haha it just looks like a fourplay that takes 26" wheels zzz What were you expecting?

Mark W Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 wow what an inovative bike, the designer really busted his gut over this one haha it just looks like a fourplay that takes 26" wheels zzz Is that in the same way that any seatless bike looks just like another seatless bike? The geometry's totally different, the frame itself is a lot different to the current Fourplay frame too, they've redesigned the yokes on it, etc. - there's a lot that's different on it.

Ali C Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 plus a year of development and testing prototypes to make sure it's spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Might actually get this over a 24" I've been thinking of recently. I'm not sold on the idea but I trust Dave and Inspired enough to buy a full bike without spending the next year thinking about the geometry and parts it's built on. Must say I imagined Dave slightly differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsuperg Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 Mark, remember that some of these young pups in the trials world don't remember when a bicycle had a seat (or at least had one zip tied onto the area where the protuding seat tube used to be...) These kids never knew the old school, or had Union Flag headtube graphics or blue top tube pads because the Tongue Brothers used them and they were cool. For those reading this who don't know what old school is, here's a handy guide: Wow you just made me feel really old. at least im not the dog's @$$ yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
