Sunvalley Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Anyone got any pictures of either of the sun trials frames that came out?? Remember Pashley trying to blag one as a there own at a bike show even though I pointed out the sunn logo on the dropouts :D . It was the chrome one you may remember Eddie tounge riding it a while back? there was also a white one that came out to. I had the chrome one best bike I ever had and it got nicked. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quick_spider Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 You mean the Nickel plated Ghz prototype that was at the bike show? Don't pashley use off the shelf dropouts? Pretty much like any other manufacturer... No pictures though... they were hosted on the old image uploaded which is long gone. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 narr, years back when pashley was starting trials, Edd used to run a stickered up sunn. I have seen a couple on ebay, really nice simple frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampsons Of Bristol (SOB, team SOB) ran them on there trials team, Leon, Toby, Piondexter, Dobin, Big Matt, Dicki, Si, all rode for SOB and used them. Fact Toby still has his and is probs gonna wana sell it. I can ask if you want. Very cool frames, i loved riding it. I bought one but it got nicked from Toby's car sadly. Pikey cu** who nicked it. E-bay has had loads as has online forums with f/s sections. They did a small ltd batch that was chrome plated not nickle. There you go lots of info... Pays being old n wise on some stuff.
