Punker Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Hey everyone, I've just about finished my first trials bike and thought I would post a few pictures up (if they work).

Ashes Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) I really like them graphics thing is though, i personally despise ashtons. Not sure why i think its just the shape of them, but seriously them graphics and use of colour are really bold and i think they look smart (would look even keener on a speed race though IMO ) Ashes. Edit. Did you design them yourself ? Edited February 27, 2011 by Ashes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I like those stars, that's nice. I think more people should do custom graphics to their frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punker Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the feedback guys. I wasn't really that bothered about how it looked before but then it snowed and I lost a couple of bits while I was waiting for others to arrive so I just painted it to fill an afternoon, glad I did now though! The stars are just pre cut vinyl ones from ebay, they seem pretty sticky so they should last and you can get a oad of different designs for about £3 a sheet and the green paint was £1 a can from B&Q so it kinda designed itself Yeah, I like that a lot! Glad you put my old frame to good use, how does it ride? Cheers mate, I'm only learning the basics but I think it rides really well. It felt so long and low compared to my last bike but the high bar and stem are helping me get used to it slowly Edited February 27, 2011 by Punker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I like, nice to see an Ashton that isn't red! Just don't go round any wet corners on tarmac at any sort of speed with those tyres. Your face will hit the ground!

Punker Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks cooooool wow i love youre bike!!!!!!!!!!! it looks fresh and soo cool parts are smart too..good job man streety treats! Love best looking stock ever! Cheers, glad you like it. I was unsure when I first finished it but it's reassuring to see that it doesn't look like a £99 apollo paint job! I like, nice to see an Ashton that isn't red! Just don't go round any wet corners on tarmac at any sort of speed with those tyres. Your face will hit the ground! Yeah the tyres are bike 99 originals that I had in the garage so they will probably be the first thing to go! They do have a good size:price ratio though! It also really needs to go on a diet as the weight is on the heavy side of reassuring so tyres are probably a good place to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 YES!!! Good old Bike 99, we were all so cool with our bargain tyres over our shoulders. Weren't they something stupid like £25 for a pair??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punker Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah, seemed like loads of money back then! Been out on them tonight actually and can confirm that they definitly don't get any better with age! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Yeah, seemed like loads of money back then! Been out on them tonight actually and can confirm that they definitly don't get any better with age! If you're getting rid of them definitely get in touch with LEON on here - vaguely remember he was looking for some - check out his latest thread in Bike Picture to be sure...
