I'd love to get to one to try and pick up some tips and skills for learning quicker!!LOL, yea man theres always rides in Glasgow. We usually ride at the skate park for about half an hour to warm up and get everyone met up then go ride some natural or street whatever takes our fancy. Theres quite a few riders of all standards. Keep your eye on www.glasgowstreetriders.com its under contruction just now but will soon be full of new photos!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King C Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Trials-uk.co.uk you will have to wait ages though Adam. I've already waited a month and then I couldn't take it any more. I think MJ cycles may have some stock ones in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Does anyone know what weight it is??Thanks for that man i believe the stock frame is just under 2kg (like 1.9kg), lighter than the ashton, though im not too sure whether it'll be as strong/weaker than the ashton... i do love mine thoughsteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted August 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 (edited) Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll get one but there not in the country just now it seems to be. So the wait begins. MJ cycles said that they get there frames from select bikes, well the Aortas any way, and they seem to do a good deal with the frames. I'll get a free spare hanger and dvd and a derailleur. Has any body got any pics of there 26" Aortas to show off?
