Freddyem Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hey Guys, My name is Simon. I'm from Bristol. I've decided to try and get back into trials after putting a bike down 12 years ago. This should be fun..... I'm riding a 20"er or Mod as the cool kids these days seem to be calling them as when I wanted one back in the day but only Monty, GT and few others made them and they were too expensive for me. Anyway, hopefully I will learn some things on here and get back into my riding, I'm amazed at what I'm still able to do but the trials bar has been raised massively since I were a lad. Nice to meet you all. Ta ta. Oh, and if you have a mod frame you would like to get rid of PM me I'd like to see. (no cracked frames and maximum of £100). Thank you kindly.

Freddyem Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Fair enough, I was just throwing it out there just incase someone read it and could help out. Got my eyes firmly glued on the Forsale section anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddyem Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 This is what I bought, unfortunately a cracked headtube means I need a new frame before I've even started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 You got pics of the crack?? Is it not weldable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddyem Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 You got pics of the crack?? Is it not weldable? Heres a pic of the crack. I was advised against welding it and frames pop up cheap enough...... I've had a hop around on it to 'try it out' and I'm excited. Some of the skills are still there.... Update: I've just sorted a new frame now anyway.... I'm looking forward rebuilding a bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
