F-Stop Junkie Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Long bikes. One day there weren't any, the next everyone was raving about Level bosses, and with good reason.Warrenties - how to get free stuff when yours breaks, though this was some time ago.Someone/something being 'sexual'IRC TyresTaboo frames and forksMaking your bike looks more like Ashton's/Hawyes's/Akrigg's/a Tongue'sAll bikes - Pashley or otherewise - having the union jack headtube graphics and/or top tube padsChopping that little bit of seat tube off above the top tube, and zip tying a saddle on the topDCDsMaking your own padsSlamming disc brakes because the pads move a couple of mil and it feels like the wheel is 'rocking' back and forthReplacing your current bike to one with dual discsPush in megamo saddles on everythingThe strongest stuff possible being used for trials, because trials (not the riders) broke bits. Bikes weighed 35-40lbsPeople getting custom MTB builders to make trials rigs.When Brisa came along and were much better than what had gone before. Nelson Reis took the piss at the Bike ShowWhen Koxx came along and were much better than what had gone before. Vincent Hermance took the piss at the Bike ShowEveryone slamming Enos for being much more expensive than an ACS clawEveryone getting Enos.TK and freehosting websitesEvery man and his dog producing 'team' websites with them and their mates listed as 'Riders', full bike spec lists under 'bikes', a different technique and jargon section to everyone else, and a list of pro riders with photos scanned out of MBUK. (See .TK websites)Every manufacturer producing a trials bike which was an old jump frame with no outer ring and wide bars. Some put Maguras on them. None of us bought them.More to come, I'm sure...
