Trials And Tribulations

[lardo_69]

hi guys i have been around on the forum for about 3 weeks now i think. I have noticed alot of people post a short bit about them selves, so I thought it was time I gave it a go.

Will I first started riding about 5 years ago but i was dirt jumping and down hilling, I had a DDG shooter with some 2001 Jr T’s (it looked abit odd but I liked it) Then about 3 years in riding I moved house and lost contact with me riding buddies so I also gave up bikes. I have also had a federal BMX, barracuda subway and a Raleigh swamp thing. Quite a selection.

Now 2 years on I wanted to start up again. This time I decided I wanted to do trials after watching “dirty tricks and cunning stunts” great film by the way.

I never buy bikes complete I always like to build them from scratch. It just makes me feel better when i ride them. like it actually means something to me, its odd but i am sure some people understand.

Here is the bike I am riding at the moment. Its not quite finished yet but should be soon.

I will post some more pics when it is complete.

I have never rode a MOD before so I don’t know what to expect. Mine could be absolute pish and I wont no^^. But it seems quite comfortable to me.

Well that’s pretty much it. Please say some comments on what you think of my bike.

Welcome.

Bike looks nice, even though i'm not too big a fan of mods.

I had a subway as my first 'trials' frame. Proper beast.

The Subways were great fun! Think most people have played around on one of those at some point or other!

Mine was a full do-everything beast! Sold it to a next-gen rider just getting into riding, so let's hope he gets as much out of it as I did!

Anyhoo, welcome to the forum and stuff

looks pritty good mate get new cranks though mate something that will allow you to run a front free and a bash, so something like tensiles, echos ect. it help in the long run if you decide to get a frame with out bash plate. anyway good look with the riding and nice bike. glad you choose mod aswell

it help in the long run if you decide to get a frame with out bash plate.

Not true! a bash realy does help when you start out, even if you try uci it helps not to scratch/dent your frame every time you go wrong, and i foudn it helped my confidence plus it's a good excuse to scratch and destroy stuff . your bike looks prety cool i've always had a thing for the shape of t comps :$ .
