Demonrat Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's been a while since I've been in the scene... I'm just trying to get my bearings of who's still making bikes who's new in them? What's good? What's not? Who's good? Who's not? Last time I rode was early monty 20" (early 2000's) pashley were the Ferrari of trials and Martyn Ashton was destroying the scene on his cannondale...

isitafox Posted June 27, 2014 Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nope Pashley are long gone now, the key players at the moment are Inspired for street stuff and Deng which produce Echo, Zoo and GU. There are a few other big names but these are the main two, Inspired also produce Trialtech components and are a British company. I assume you know the situation with Martyn nowadays?

Demonrat Posted June 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah. It so sad. A big loss for the sport. But after seeing his interviews, at least he's staying positive and getting into hand cycling. You never know, he might turn hand cycling into some sort of extream sport... Ha ha. What ever happened to Eddie tounge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 (edited) The first real trials I ever saw in front of me, and the reason why I chose to ride one now was a guy riding a maroon colour pashley in epic park in Mosley birmingham. The dude was seriously awesome! (Can't stress that enough) really love to find out who he was. It was early to mid 00's if anyone has any ideas Edited June 28, 2014 by *gentlydoesit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Tim's been pretty busy doing tree surgery, driving lorries and trucks, riding mountain bikes, lacerating his liver by riding into a tree, cutting down that tree as an act of vengeance and generally living life. He got a couple of clips in last years Tarty Days video, but that was the only thing he's really been in recently I think. He still f**king rips though, he was smashing things out at the Terminal One Phoenix jam last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was early to mid 00's if anyone has any ideas Funnily enough, the first time I experienced trials In the flesh was someone on a blue pashley 26mhz. Well actually there were 2 of them. Twin brothers called Alex and dean. Anyone know them? They were pretty successful pure trials riders in the uk... They road around the ashby and moira area.
