paul-m- Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yeh i would second them choices. i ride mostly street and i find my echo control rides well for street use plus can be used for natural aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ive been riding a revell trials frame which is perfect for street. Its a little heavier than other frames but its stronger and a definate street geometry witha little bit of back wheel thrown in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 they arent steeet bikes....they are bloody long trials bikesif you want a street trials bike, then look at a base ta26 for 26 on a budget, and the onza zoot makes for a very fun 24 bike on a budget, both have 1040 wheelbases so arent silly short, so normal trials moves are still easyif you have some proper cash to spend, i would say leeson all the way, after riding a few 24s, they are absolutely lush and worth every penny, not to mention the custom geometry definately get 24 for street, its awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Have a look at the new echo, the short version. Danny Mc rides one and he is a demon on the streets!!! They ride really well!!! Tartybikes i believe.....lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20inchsuperstar Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 if you want to make a proper street bike with sus forks and the like, get a le toy four. soo sexy but im not sure where you can get them from though it's crap for trials though.if you want to keep to a trials frame then ive thirded all those earlier suggestionsZOO FOR THE WINlol matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbuk Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 IM just mistaking someone saying his revell frame is stonger than most frames,weight dosent always mean super strength,just look at ti frames,ligest and stongest?.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rushton Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Depends on what you mean by street bike. Because there are street bikes. Like adaments zoos etc. For street drop gaps, etc.And there are leesons, cirtis etc. for street manuals etc.Hope you understood that.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-liteboy Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 iv got a 26'' saracen mad and thats good for street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 ashton justice!! lovley street bike. or wait till the ashton 24" full bike comes out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) If you cannot afford a leeson, either speak to iolo, who are abit cheaper, a uk24 or wait for the ashton 24 to come out. Then that depends on if you want a 26, or 24. If you want a 26 most older geo frame swould be good if you can find a second hand one (pashley etc). Some people used to use dmr sidekicks for trials too which would be a pretty streety option. The justice is also quite nice, especially with a 50 - 70mm stem (although i'll prob get sh*t for sayin that).

trialsgal Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yeh i mainly ride street with an adamant and it rides sweet would recomend to anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrOcKeR Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 get a dmr rythem for 24inch or a sidekick (as mentioned before) for 26inch both amazing bikes. Strong decant weight and amazing for street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 pashley is the way forward if your lucky you can pick one up cheap. i got my pashley ghz frame brand new with forks for 120quid havea look for one, if not a short echo control/purecraig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I ain't being silly but you could easily ride street on a Monty 20". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianttrials Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 gotta agree with Eskimo, loads of people ride mods for street riding, just look at what Craig Lee Scott! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26inch Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 When people say street they dont necasserily just want to do sidehops and front hooks on their silly long bikes.What type of street are you actually talking about: Bmx style stuff, Akrigg style stuff or just sidehops etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) IM just mistaking someone saying his revell frame is stonger than most frames,weight dosent always mean super strength,just look at ti frames,ligest and stongest?..No but Steel is generally stronger than alu was my point. Agreed that ti frames are strong but steel I find is less flexy and less prone to major dents....just an opinion lol. Well if you fancy a Revell ive got an 06 complete build with new parts going for about £300. Edited January 5, 2007 by Brettoll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Well god knows why people are sugesting adamants and stuff as a street bike! He said street, not UCI street, also he asked about leesons, so its pretty clear that he wants something for proper street, not just gaps and sidehops.Anyway, as said above Base TA26 is a really nice frame and costs cock all.There are Iolo custom frames which I use one of, and there sweet, if you know what geo you want. Same go's for Leeson.Leeson frames are £400 and are only availibe direct from leeson or second hand. - Leeson BikesIolo frames work out around £400 once you've added extras, again, only from Iolo - IOLObikesAnother frame to consider as mentioned by Craig is the Pashley, there really sweet for street stuff.Leeson and Iolo both do sweet 24" frames, and so do Heatsink bikes, for alot less dosh.
