wethepeople Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) I'm new here; Jason222 referred me to this forum and said it was a good one. So I decided to try it out.A little bit of history here, I used to do trials before as a hobby while I was mountain biking, sort of like a side hobby. I was never really good at it but really enjoyed it. I owned a GT Team Trials, I’m not sure of the year but it was the silver model (1997?). One day while I was bouldering I came down on a piece of shale, hard, and put a nasty dent in the chainstay, which didn’t take long to turn into a bad crack. I searched for a new frame and could not find one for a decent price, as I needed most of my money for my downhill bikes. After all, trials weren’t my priority. After I couldn’t find a frame for a decent price I sold it to a fellow from school for a parts bike.And that was the end of trials riding for me, I continued to race downhill until I was injured. I had about 5 months of downtime while I was hurt, but had every intention of going back to riding. I used allot of the time to search for another bike but still didn’t come up with anything, so I built up an 'urban mountain bike' instead. While I was building it up my friend also wanted a hardtail or a bike he could throw around easier, but instead of building one he bought one. He ended up finding a (1998?) GT Team Trials, but never I rode it. I was pretty jealous but continued to ride my hardtail hard for a bit until I realized that (in my opinion) mountain bikes were made for the mountain, not the skate park. So I picked up a BMX instead and have been riding that hard ever since.Recently he sold me his GT, and I’m getting back into it. The bike is absolutely mint, hardly a scratch and no dents whatsoever. Completely stock to.These are the only pics I have at the moment, i'll get more later.And this continues to be my main ride, A full custom Macneil Heaton 2.And could a mod please change my name to wethepeople, I messed it up in the log in .
