old boy chez Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 2-six team or the first onza t-bird . I would love to know the Geo of the old 2-six's if any one knows ? . All though the t-bird was way to small I did love it and it helped me learn more . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hard to choose because there were so many but two stood out - a bike built on the first Echo SL frame and a custom Triton. Both had a great geometry but the latter rode very differently being titanium. The frame felt alive, hard to describe in words. I sold it years ago and have occasionally been trying to buy it back but the current owner who's had it for almost a decade won't budge unless he gets a pile of money for it. That said, I've been riding a Cannibal V3 for a few years now and it's easily one of the best. Absolutely love it. There's one I've always wanted (probably not a good idea if you hate high BB's) and it's the shorter Vinco: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also very progressive, as were all the Echo/Czar/GU/Adamant frames from 2006. People hated them and now most trials bikes have that geometry Perhaps it took longer for people to realize what kind of stem was needed to make it all work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I can remember shunning it because it needed a mod stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Rich ran it with either 180 or a 203 BB7 or a Vee, dependant on what tickled his fancy. Check out some of Rich's older "Street Training" videos, should be more ThuMper/D15C goodness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davetrials Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Brisa's were awful tanks though, mine was horrendous. Ashton frame was something special, after seeing joe prattleys one he built recently i've fallen back in love. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
