Right a bit of swapping stuff, which is my favorite form of trading by the way, and I have ended up with this:

It's a stop gap bike, between my comp as f**k echo and the new bike I am building which will be halfway between the two.

Its a beast, but not quite finnished yet, I need a shorter stem ac need to sort the gears out.

If anyone can help me on that one please see my topic on the subject in trials chat.

Spec:

Frame: Planet x zebedi (obviously)

Forks: Ashton

Back wheel: Hope Pro 2 trials on echo tr rim

Front wheel: Echo TR rim and hub

BB:Trial tech lite

Cranks ac bash ac sprocket: Tryall, Tarty and trial tech 18t.

Tyres: Continental De Kaiser rear tyre continental mountain king supersonic front.

Stem: try all NUC

Bars: VIZ 720 cut down a bit.

Headset: ECHO sl

Front brake: BB5

Rear brake: Avid magnesium with rock cnc pads shimano carbon booster.

SEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Gusset

That is all I think.

This bike rides loverly and suits my needs as I have to often ride long distances to go riding as I live in the middle of nowhere.

Funny thing is that I started proper trials (About 2 years ago after not riding since I was a kid) on a planet x Jack flash which is pretty much the same frame with a bash guard.

I have been through loads of bikes with all sorts of brake and geo combos,now and come full circle to end up with this bike, with vees and gears----------------------------twat.

:lol:

GEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Some sram mech on a x.o shifter

Looks tidy dude, good job! Keen to see this new project come to fruition soon.

Will have a look tomorrow and see if I've still got the bar/stem I ran on the 24" for a while, would suit this beautifully. If it's knocking about and helps it's yours (Y)

Coolio!
