When I was living in BC I made myself a stainless trials bike at work.

then I moved to California for a while, and managed to get out and film just one day.

I was planning to film way more, but due to my extensive gypsy ways California didn't let me back in UhOhh!

Now im in North Wales, and it was time to admit that it might be AGES before i get back to my bike and get more clips.

so here it is.

I'm happy enough with the footage, considering it was my first proper ride on the bike really,

and amazed that putting a camera on a skateboard on the desk, then pulling it slowly with string going to a drill in a vise, worked so well !

Thanks to Naked Bicycles

And a Huge thanks to Ali C for lending me His HEX while im here for a while. Now this video is done, its time to start filming a Hex/North Wales vid :)

PLEASE let me know what you think !

thanks

Aran

WOW, Can you be my long lost brother please. That must fell amazing every time you ride knowing you made it yourself. Ever thought about making some custom made stuff ? I know it would take alot of time but if you enjoy it and can make a little money for you'r effort then why not?

Iolo used to run "Iolo Bikes" building custom frames and more recently worked for Naked Bikes (as seen in this video) doing much the same (Y)
