Right, finally got enough pictures of my new bike to start taking pictures of it and putting it on trials forum, I will update this as it goes along.

So that's it how it currently stands, got a few more bits I want to get, here is the current spec list:

Bars: Trialtech Sport

Stem: Trialtech Forged

Headset: FSA orbit equipe

Forks: Breath 4-bolt

Frame: GU typhoon 07

Bottom bracket: V!Z

Cranks: Trialtech ISIS 170's

Rear Hub: Chris king classic

Rim: Echo urban (36h, 47mm)

Brakes: Front, blue 04 maggie with heatsink yellows (plastic)

Back, blue 04 maggie with black slaves with heatsink yellows (metal backed)

Got front wheel, tyres and sprockets to come along yet, as well as a new chain, but most of these are sorted. Will be changing to echo urbans up front, with a front V, but will edit this post when it all comes together :)

That's it for now, stay tuned and let me know what you think!

90*HA, -50bb and 3000wb? Sweeeeet!

tgs riders dream mate :P

guess breath forks are one to avoid then.........

did you escape without injury?

they were cracked but yeah i'd steer clear of them anyway.

Yeah the went dropping off a bench, I noticed my brake was rubbing and when I looked at my forks I realised the forks had a monster crack on them, then on the way home I was smacking the front wheel on the ground and it just gradually bent all the way round :P then I put the down and they looked like that, then the snapped picking up the bike!

Did do a lot of up to fronts/gap to fronts on them though, and I am a bit of a basher!
