TrialsIsHard Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) 'sup TF. So I decided I'd finally build the bike I wanted my Inspired to be from the very beginning. Here's how it went. I bought this frame off here (way back in 2011), with good intentions. I combined it with an Onza Zoot that I picked up for ~£200. By this point my 15 year old self ran out of money, so this is pretty much how it stayed for a year. I managed to get my frame put in with a job lot of stuff at the powder coaters, which made the bike look a bit more presentable. However the red and green colour scheme, as festive as it is, was not a good look for the bike. Here's how it looked when I brought it to university with me a few weeks ago. After spending some $$$ which I will definitely pay back to the government and am spending on my education, we got to this stage. Here's a picture of it last weekend in Newhaven when I finally took it out for it's first ride. I imagine if I'd have retained any skills I had as a 16 year old I would have also included a video in this post of me throwing down some skids, but alas that was not the case and I suck. Spec is: Frame: Inspired Fourplay Fork: Inspired Element Cranks: Trial Tech Sport 175mm Handlebars: Trial Tech High Riser Wheels: Front and rear Hope Pro II's on Onza Zoot rims Lemme know what you think Edited March 1, 2016 by TrialsIsHard 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBurnside Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) The nicest riding street bike I've ever had the pleasure of pedalling^ Edited March 1, 2016 by RossBurnside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The stacker and stem combo looks weird but out of this forum I'm probably the last person that should make such comment. It's come a long way from the looks of it for the better. Video next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I agree, the silver spacers make it look weird too. I have a 120mm Trial Tech stem which I lent to a friend, I think with that and a less stackers it would be spot on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) Also nice lever position! Has to X-up just to get it to feel right. Edited March 1, 2016 by Paperclip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Haha, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice! Clamp was a little loose and it rotated, couldn't actually run them like that whilst having human wrists 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamant Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Iv got a 110 x 40 stem if you wanted to swap? Could lose some of them spacers then? But as a whole, that looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I think I'll probably try out my trial tech one, I've got a feeling it could be the 110x35 which would be pretty much perfect. Thanks though dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
