Mikee Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Whilst my hex frame is getting some much needed TLC, I decided to build this beauty back up to ride in the meantime. Nothing else has been able to hit the same spot that these frames do for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 In true McLovin style - "I gotta boner!" How do they ride? Have a look for any old Ali C Ashton videos. Should show perfectly how they should have been ridden. They're geo is a bit out dated now for comps but im sure Ali won a few on his, and even did well at the worlds on it. Pretty sure the geo was 1055, 380, 20, 73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Didn't the Australian guy who won the original GETcreative comp ride one? Always had a soft spot for these, I even like the look of the mods but they seem to be like rocking horse shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 There's always one on eBay but they go for like £250?!! Who the hell buys this stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Absolutely brilliant to ride, bit of a half way house in that you can hit some street on it but its not so short comp moves are tricky. Rowan Johns videos were good... Also, that is a lovely example of a Justice. Good work!! Edited September 15, 2014 by Brettoll 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 Thanks fellas. Pretty sure the geo was 1055, 380, 20, 73. With the inspired forks on, the wheelbase is 1045. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yea, sorry, I forgot the Tartybikes tm disclaimer, -(when measured with an echo urban fork). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted September 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 This frame and fork combo goes so well together as well. If anybody happens to have both lying around and haven't already, definitely try it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusevelt Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Set-up would super sweet with higher riser stem & bars combo. Trying to remember who built up the sweetest Ashton set-up with raw polished look on the frame and carbon wrapped seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 so whats the best fork for an ashton? will you recomend changing from echo urban to inspired fork? I have used echo urbans, echo pure?, ashton forks, trialtech forks and inspired forks on these frames. Inspired forks would be my recommendation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
