But I see your point. Its not common you see bikes that can be used for two things, but having said that its not impossible. However I can tell you now that a P2 feels horrible on the back wheel Mat Hudson has a curtis comp bike with a trials set up, but im sure you could have a curtis customized for a happy medium between the two.Don't know what else to suggest Im afraid, but good luck finding one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can ever have a 'happy' medium , not when it comes to trials Though saying that, You could probably jump some of the 24's people ride on here Maybe thats an option?
