harmertrials Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Picked up a new ride off euan beaden the other day, really fun and playful. Will be getting an inspired frame at some point though. Knocked up a quick photoshop, any thoughts? Looking to make the chain tensioner a bit neater, as well as possibly a set of black burns.

FamilyBiker Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) i´d do it.that frame looks so ghetto whats up with the paint in the welding areas? is it rewelded and bodge-rattlecanned? geo wise it looks great,and the setup looks rad,too.black is beautiful!

trialsbikingnunn Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 (edited) whats up with the paint in the welding areas? is it rewelded and bodge-rattlecanned? It had cracked a few times at the welds cos jaf's weld are sh*t and Euan and his dad have re-welded them and used paint that jaf gave him to re-paint it which is why some of the paint at the welds looks dodgy. he also added the strengthening bar between the non-driveside chainstay and seatstay at the top of the disc mount cos it cracked there too. Euan did a pretty good job of it though Edited November 18, 2013 by trialsbikingnunn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or in his dad's, jaf never sent the paint I hope you changed the smelly grips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Out of interest, how do you like going from a 'trialsy' background to a streety bike? Not asking because I'm thinking of doing it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not asking because I'm thinking of doing it.... I've only had the chance to ride it the once. Having to leave it at a mates house for a few weeks whilst I go back up north. The geo is a bit extreme for myself.. and the frame is in no fit state so I'm after an inspired or similar. I can see how it suited euan but it's very much bmx orientated. The biggest struggle is trying to learn how to move an 11.5kg bike but I'm sure I'll get the hang of things. 8th bike in 4 weeks is a tad extreme.

I've been riding my 9 kilos echo, and under the show I rode a 12-ish inspired team bike for 2 days, which was hard in the beginning.. But once I got used to it, I just loved it. Don't want to go back to my echo now Edited November 18, 2013 by williams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
