Will Arnold Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 in what way will they be the best bikes on the market?what are you going on? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 (edited) well its noit like bts are supposed to be crap willhowever, whats the point? theres so much competition out there already, and they already have a rather sucessful stock frame and component market hold, so maybe they are biding their time?

grantham Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 We've spoken about doing a mod, but there isn't time currently, the 24" is taking up time, however the idea of a mod is still there. Ill get rav to explain more later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get rav to explain more later I dont really see why you are bothering with a 24". Barly anyone rides 24" compaired to 20" and 26", so if you ditched the 24" idea, and made it into the production of the 20", you will be making alot more money (IMO) If you made it good, just like a mini Raven 6, with a good price tag, id buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Barely anyone rides 24" cos there isnt much choice, its a huuuuuuuge market and a good business move to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh B Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Good idea, but i wouldn't trust a frame made by a telephone company.Oh god JT ................................ 24'' is an up and comming trials design but it seems every other company has jumped on the bandwaggon.Heatsink, Onza etc It will soon fade away . possibleLets just hope BT keep there quailty and performance up in other models they try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantham Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Barely anyone rides 24" cos there isnt much choice, its a huuuuuuuge market and a good business move to make. as edd said there isn't that many 24" available compared to 26, also there are lots of 20" bikes available. You also have to remember that Bt market is not just the UK, we are lucky, onza,ashton,leeson,curtis,heatsink, are all UK based that make 24" bikes, so we probably have a good selection here but other countries might not.

Wrong tense for that, surely? To be honest, I'm not too fussed on whether BT make a mod or not. I've never been overly keen on their frames, and it just wouldn't really change much unless it was radically different, but if it WAS radically different, knowing the trials world it'd instantly be called shit and they'd probably sell 3. If they make it so it toes the line like most of the other mods around now, people will say it's boring and the same, and that they're disappointed in BT.Lose-lose situation?
