holroyd-wanna-be Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Been thinking bout the new ashton and think it looks dead nice so hopefully going to get one, Just wondering if anyone else is going to get one? Think it a nice change being black instead of the silver that everybike coming out now is and having the seat is another nice change from the seatless norm. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Nice price, £250 for the frame! Sounds very tasty, I just hope its not too long :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Nah i meant the first white ashton mod. but nvm lol The mod is around the same geo as the t-pro but like 5-10 mm longer and i assume the ashton 26" is 1035 wb, well i think it is :lol: . if you are going for one i think the best deal will be to get one at airevalley if they have any left. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 That is longer isnt it the old ones were like 1015 werent they? im sure i saw somewhere about the stock 1035/1045 wb. But honestly try searching for the topic on here from a while back or on the net for a decent pic of the mod version please. I found a real small un of the mod on trialsin.com and a big un of the stock on ashton bikes, but no information, me thinks they need to update their site a tad though. I just hope these dont become as popular as the t-pro lol, i want a unique frame lol, however i dont think theres that many going to be sold and shipments every few months so get buying soon if you do want one. Just seems unfortunate there are no details on geo etc and gonna have to gamble it if it rides nice etc which im sure it will as all the others have done :'( Also external headset on the jstice 20" as apposed to many other internals which could be a good bonus for all the king headset lovers out there :lol:.

Burton Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 The NEW Ashtons are 1050 wb. Higher bb rise. Cheaper! Stronger BB area. Dunno about the mod though..... i can remember reading somewhere that is was about 1000 wb soo about the t-pro size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Andy is clearly talking about the new 26" Justice (which you'll probably have seen Martyn of Gav Bedford riding). As far as I've been told (by the aforementioned riders) it's 1060/65ish wheelbase with a slightly slacker head angle - either way, Gav reckons it rides really nice, and better than the old one. Sounds like a good idea to me - a frame for people who don't want something too short but don't want to go all the way to 1080+. Whatever, for those of you that haven't seen the alternative colour option, here it is... BTW, are you getting one Wayne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 I wouldn't mind one. But by the time i can aford one they will have sold out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought when I was buying my V24 in the 2nd week they'd come out! look at them now! :shifty: Ah well at least the crome finnish is still rare... ish. The Ashton mod looks nice.

I know what you mean, thats why I ended up getting my 1070 woodman but its still pretty long. (well, that and the fact its not just a clone of some other bike like most trials bikes seem to be). ah well at least that ones stayed rare. :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 So are they going to be available in two sizes? Two colours? Or is it just the black one being sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b'mouth trials Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hmmmm, the 26" looks pretty dam nice! I need something around 1050/1060ish, might think of getting one when they are released if the price is right :shifty:" Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Woah... Thats the first time I've seen a pic of the ashton mod, and its exceeded all my expectations.. Looks amasing to me at a first glance, could be my next frame if my 221 decides to die anytime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 From what i know they are £250 frame only. £500 full build with maguras etc. 1 size for each and 2 colours for each, my mate has a pair of the red/white ashton forks just got them in at the lbs and they look like a great improvement on the last with the unessacary for most 24" mounts. His have v and disc, but are also available in 4 bolt magura and disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavtrials Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 hey guys, Just noticed this topic! Well frame length is 1060 and i just measured that to check! It has a lower standover height, Slacker head angle, much Stronger around the bb area, Allso stronger where the seat go's, Allso rear end is a tiny bit shorter and im sure its 281, Frame weight is pretty much the same as before which is cool! Allso it rides awesome! If theres any other questions let me no and il do my best to answer! Thanks, Gav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
