Laurence--Trials Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Revell Trials 20" - Disc only 20" frame from British manufacturer Revell. - Made from high quality 4130 cromoly steel. - 116mm spaced dropouts can be easily used with either chain tugs, or snail cams (require the use of a nut and bolt rather than a traditional snail cam bolt). - Suitable for use with a 19" rear wheel only. - Teardrop/triangular down tube helps resist dents and gives extra weld contact area. - 100mm long head tube takes a standard headset and has reinforcing rings at the top and bottom to help prevent flaring. - IS disc mount is supported thanks to a large bracing bar. - Please note: This frame is supplied with a Revell bash plate, but NOT bolts, washers and rubber. The bash plate requires standard M6 bolts, and the use of a bashplate rubber and washers is recommended. - Available in gloss powdercoat Red, Black or Grey. - Weight: 2.374kg Geometry (When measured with Echo Urban fork, sold seperately): Wheelbase: 990mm Chainstay Length: 375mm BB Rise: 50mm Head Angle: 71 degrees Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 590mm http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/20_inch_frames/revell_trials_20_inch/c36p11729.html Bargin at only £50 Edited December 23, 2011 by Laurence--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbarr Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 BB seems pretty high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 BB seems pretty high? at +50? Chainstays are mega long. Pretty affordable though, doubt we'll see a frame from tarty at that price again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Just expected a frame like that to have a lower BB seeing as fairly modern mod frames have roughly the same height as that.

Sam T Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 My mate had one of these. It was absolutely horrible. Atleast it's a cheapo frame for people to buy though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Used to have a black one and then a baby sick yellow one. Rode quite well actually as memory serves me correctly. You just need to be careful with the bashguard rubbers (or just run a bashring set up). Edit: Bit of history for you- the forks in that picture are the very first pair of Echo 20" forks ever to land in the UK, back when Kurt Brain started riding for X-Street and Echo. Got them to run on the EM2 (again, the first Echo 20"'s ever in the UK, firstly a preproduction one followed by a red production version) I rode for X-Street and were then used on a few bikes afterwards. They were rushed over from China and weren't even lacquered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 How about 990Wb's? Pretty short to be fair.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 If I had a few more 20" bits kicking about I'd be sorely tempted to buy one to build up as a brakeless bike for a laugh... I can imagine old school geo and long chainstays might actually be quite useful for that, plus being steel and a bit more resilient to boot.
