b'mouth trials Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hey guys, sorry to sorta highjack the topic but this doesnt really deserve a new one. I was planning on getting the new ashton but after reading this i could consider getting one of these instead. I know not many people have ridden the new ashton yet as they arn't really that common but can anybody give me some opinions on which would be better? The only reason i can think of why i wouldnt want a control is that they are quite common??Any advise would be great.Cheers, Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 All ive got to do is tell me dad im getting 1 i dont like him! lolive only seen 1 ever and that was adrians on a london ride so dont think i would call then common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I had a 1065 control and loved it, infact I liked it more than my 1085 virsion.I am gonna get an ashton very soon, so only then will I be able to say which is nicer.

Simpson Posted December 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good on im a saracen at the moment so think that i would suit the shorter version i dont like the look of the ashton i don't know just think it looks a bit funky with the funny seat i dont no just think ill get the echo my dads kind of coming round to me loosing my hard earnt savings lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
