JanStahl Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) So... what or who is behind Maestro? There is only cwtrials as a seller, and a thread on the hillbilly forum where the designers are referred to by the name "they". I like this kind of public relations strategy for a product I am supposed to do big ass jumps over edgy rocks with. Not that any other manufacturer had the balls to come out with a list of quality checks done per individual part and per product... it would probably look like this, anyway: . By the way, very nice bike. In top 10 of my personal favorite 26s. Edited June 26, 2013 by JanStahl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro are a new brand that have just been distributed to the UK. Trialsaddict.com are the only UK seller atm. I'm not sure who is behind the company but i'm told the frames have been through thorough testing. Ben Walsh (TA owner) has been running his maestro since about January and has giving it a good old pasting, and it's still going strong. I'll keep you updated on if/when i crack it, but first impressions it seems fairly solid! Hope this helped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanStahl Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yop, thank you! I'm just a bit pissed for a few days every time I lie in the dirt, bleeding, because of a part failure almost immediately after I bolted it onto my bike.
