Be good to have orange back them though the work orange do to younger team riders is cool. they have the knowledge to make a good product, to work along martin ashton too ..... they would end up with sumin unreal ..and from what i hear good value too!

Walleee Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I know I can't understand why one would leave a postition where they had input to the frames being made and riding for the god father of trials, to ride for a shop, and select at that! Could have at least picked a good shop..... Anyway, has that thing up above has stunt pegs on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 hold on there is nought wrong with selectbikes ... theyve been good to james in the past too so why not ? anyway It would be nice to know why mr porter has left the team, but until then i dont think anyone can comment ?anyway - nice little cruiser ?

Phil didn't respond to at least 2 e-mails of mine, something I rate as pretty highly important for an online shop.I guess they are mates and whatever fair enough, but from a sponsorship point of view, I would have thought Ashton/Orange could offer more than any shop.

Tomm Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Looks quite nice, but I don't really see what it's got to do with Ashton? It may as well just be a random Orange 24"? hold on there is nought wrong with selectbikes ... You can't say things like that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may as well just be a random Orange 24"? the idea is ashton wants to get younger kids into trials (read his sections in mbuk and your understand what i mean) so its a way of selling a kid a bike you can addapt and change accordingly. Orange are (i think) just helping him distribute them to more people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 I know I can't understand why one would leave a postition where they had input to the frames being made and riding for the god father of trials, to ride for a shop, and select at that! Could have at least picked a good shop..... I won't comment too much as I don't know the full story, but as far as I know working for the god-father of trials is a bit more hit and miss than you'd expect. But like I said, I don't know the full story or reasons why James left them, just that its very compliacted and you can probably expect some kind of press release from either Ashton or Select in the not to distant future.Frame does look cool though.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Looks cool and a decent spec, but is it any different to the other 24" cruisers on the market?Actually is it 24"? I can't tell from the pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
