Hey. Iolo's are £350+ I mean mine was £385 and that was kinda half old pricing I think, and should have still been a little more.

BB shell is usually a 73 on Iolo's as that's what he strongly recommends.

Grind/dent guards are optional, but will cost extra.

Some headtube gusseting is free on trials frames.

The 'extra nice horizontal dropouts' allow around 20mm or chainstay adjustment, but obviously the break limits it.

Seat tube on mine is a 26.4mm I think.

Material is T45 steel.

I'm yet to weigh mine as a frame only, But the full build with hefty parts on it is 26lb. (going on a diet after X-mas though.)

Think you covered everything else.

(edit, stopped the prices looking like chainstay lengths)

I guess it's my duty to add the North American companies...

Peyto Cycles, based on the West Coast so they'd cost a crap load to ship for the UK guys...

Custom Trials or Street Frame

* TIG : $900

* Fillet Brazed: $1000 - Add $200 for smooth filed and sanded fillet brazes. Stock is “as-brazed finish”

* Stock tubing is Straight gauge 4130 4.9-5.5lbs

* True Temper OX II: +$50 4.4-4.9lbs

* True Temper Supertherm: $100 5.1-5.6lbs, but pretty much indestructable

* Reynolds 853: +$150 4.2-4.7lbs

Note that those prices are in canadian dollars...

Peyto Cycles.

Naked Bicycles

Basicly, they can build anything you can think of, steel or aluminium... Don't know about their prices...

True North Frames

Ehm these guys will build what ever the f**k you want, steel, aluminum, titanium, carbon... They could probably even build you a bike half metal half carbon... Don't know about their price.

But then again, those are just custom frame makers, but a company doing 24" trials frame should open soon, and actualy they'll be made right here *points over there*, so I might as well get my ass in gear to make a vid and ask them politely if theyr'e looking for testers :P

The heatsink is best value for money. Steve set up a geo that works, no need to fiddle with it the 24UK's ride really well.

Plus, do you know exactly how the geo you give clive or gary will make the bike behave? probably not, so stick with the 24UK. Find someone who owns one and ask for a ride, you will love it.
