LukeJustLuke Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 So after seeing MA at the Bike Show has he now signed / ride for inspried? I see his Diamond Back sat in the vito but I was just wondering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Wrote on his facebook he was leant the Hex, don't think it's anything more but it's not like anybody would have a reason for telling me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I dont reckon there is anything to read into. Would be abit of a coup for inspired to have him on their team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not riding for DiamondBack any more, needed a bike to ride, Hex's are good, problem solved... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Mallinson Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 So there won't be a Ashton team anymore? where are Blake Samson and Rowan Johns gonna go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 From lurking on Ashton's Twitter page, he's not continuing the program with DiamondBack, but he is still planning on doing his own thing with AshtonBikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 that must be why there only £119 for the frames now on tartybikes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hopefully this sparks a RJ sig frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I can only imagine It was a similar situation to when Martyn left Cannondale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Don't really know anything about it, but the way Pilgrim left at the same time suggests it may be a financial thing going on with DB? Quite a few of the big 'corporate' BMX sponsors have been trimming their team down for the new year, could be the same thing going on there...

onza1 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Doubt they'll be making any more trials bikes, the 24inch looks more like a mountain bike anyway, in all fairness Martyn could probably set up the Ashton company solo it's a big enough name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I reckon Mart will go solo again like he did last time those bikes were/are still popular i think he'll do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeJustLuke Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well thats that sorted! I love Marks reply! Hex is good job sorted! Well all the best to him and all that help him out! I hope Blake 7 RJ are OK as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batesie Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Some clips of Martyn on the Hex at the Bike show on Saturday... http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F16A2F09B7C2D613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Imagine if he clubbed together with Trialtech Dave to make new frames... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbarr Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think he suits the hex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 I wouldn't read too much into that aspect of things. Martyn's usually had bikes with seats on, and the Inspired is (arguably) the best 26"-with-a-seat bike out there for that style of riding, so it'd make sense for him to be riding/trying one of them while he's able to.

There's no arguably about it as you well know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
