John Shrewsbury Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) check ashtonbikes,for more detail's about the bike. Ashton has been working on the new frame for a while now. But i think all the work has pad off. After seeing martyn riding it one late evening, then me testing it out. It really felt different to the first ashton. longer chainstay's and high bb, really make's it more compy eg.( better for comp's and natural riding) At 249 pounds ( frame only) you cant go wrong with this one.

Endohopper Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 (edited) Looks decent.I'd like to see detailed photographs of the frame , and read exactly what changes / improvements have been made.

eMAyaRKay Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I'm liking that, but think they could have improved on the seat thingy, looks a bit 'cheap' to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RicH_87 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 looks very cheap. if you were new to trials you would un-doubtedly think that was a low-end bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Jeez, that does look like a manly front end even if it IS only the angle the pic was taken at... At £249, pitches it squarely at Onza T-Rex territory. Intriguing :lol: Kudos to Martyn for producing the Justice at a properly reduced cost though.

Sameer Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Boring. Rather than wasting money on yet another remake of the Justice (what is it? Like the 5th version now...?) why not make another frame? Something fresh for the market. How about an Akrigg signature? That'd be nice.

BI-KING Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think its ace :) I want one now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 wow, thats.....different, i dont like the graphics/colour scheme(sp?) but the frame looks ok, very different to the first ones, hmmmmm, be interesting to see what it rides like, would like to know the wheelbase ect.

A nice streety 26", short wheelbase, nice and strong, 5lb kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be nice. ← I disagree, I think its great that martyn is continuing to develope his frame, its happens in everything else, look at mat hoffman for example, i know its bmx, but he has been continuingly developing 'the condor' since 1990 or something, making improvements every year, also the koxx do it with there levelboss frame and look at the specialized stumpjumper! I think its good for a company to continuingly make there frames better over time, instead of chopping and changing them every year! okay i prefer the silver and red over the new paint job, but this is good too see! though a shorter 26'' streety frame to compilment this would be great! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'll comment on the frame when i see some better angles... But what i will comment on, is his interesting set up. (I know it's personal preference and i'm not dissing it, just commenting :) ) It seems to be a compy set up with 2" riser bars, and what looks like a high front end. Also interesting to see him using the now 'standard' wide, drilled rims which he stayed away from for so many years! Props for making a longer frame though, hope it all goes well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Tom Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) I think the frame and colour of it are quite nice, but the spec on that looks terrible! Those orange lined tyres! The bar and stem look like cheapo no-name jobbies. The forks should be black. I'm sure it would build into a nice bike if you threw some money into it. Edit: The cranks and bash are still nice as ever, probably running a nice raceface BB too... Edited February 17, 2005 by Trials Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) I like it, its about time another came out... We'll see if it lives up to the current model, which im sure it will :) Oh and that front rim doesnt suit that bike at all... :) Edited February 17, 2005 by scunnytrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres are a personal preference kinda thing, that back one looks like a Maxxis in a Maxxpro compound. The front one, however, i have no idea.

Ali C Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I think it looks ace, I love the colour. I presume he has high bars because it has a higher bb. top stuff :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Motivator Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) cool :huh:" eidt: the colour scheem looks a bit wank imo actually :huh: Edited February 17, 2005 by Sam@SouthTrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoojames Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 It doesnt look to bad really, It looks a bit chunkier than the oldies but still ok. If the forks changed to RED not ORANGE then itd look ok, oh and the rims look poo! But does this mean we will have to run wide rims in the Justice whereas before it was impossible?

Mark W Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Seeing as you're in contact with Mart more regularly than us/might know anyway, are they redesigning the Edd Tongue frame so it's stronger, or is Edd jumping to Leeson?

trialsking 55 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 i dont like the colour. the seat looks tacky.the bar/stem looks like they've come off a shopper and the frame looks rather boring.meh.must be in a bad mood cuz everyone else seems to like it. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavtrials Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Just to correct john as he said it had longer chainstays when they are shorter and it was short rear end anyway, I have had a cupple of blasts on the new beast and it is a step up from the mk3 ashton justice and amazing to ride and i cant get over the price of only £249, thats a bargin!
