that NBR dude Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 As the mods up for sale, thought I would get this, to keep me entertained while I wait for the 24 to arrive. Its an incredibly old and ghetto Brisa B26d, and Ive always wanted one of these, ever since I started riding trials and saw Nelson Reis at the Bike Show 2001?

Muel Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Sweet, I remember a review of these in MBUK a few years ago, am I right in thinking it has a rear disc mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted April 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Sweet, I remember a review of these in MBUK a few years ago, am I right in thinking it has a rear disc mount?It does, it has one on the chainstay (that only seems to fit magura disks) and one that bolts onto the dropout (which isnt there) hence why I've had to go back to a magura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats what it says, I'm looking at it, its rather interesting! These old school bikes seem to have an enormous seat tube compaired to modern stock bikes.

will Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yeah. They look real good. Until you ride one and decide that actaully it feels like crap and Im going to go back to my long low barge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted April 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Depends how you rideThis suits the way I ride better than a long barge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 The words Old School spring to mind. I almost bought one, but decided a giant was better, cos it came with more free stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont understand the old skool way of trials, and how, many years ago, this was ahead of the time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 When that frame came out I had just moved to a dirt jumping frame with rigids from an 18" trek 4100. That was old school, I still love that trek, shame it got nicked. You and me andy, old men of TF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont understand the old skool way of trials, and how, many years ago, this was ahead of the time!They're not that old really, especially those b26d's. I always wanted the original Brisa (Yellow like Adam burns had!), but never got one 'cos I got a Zebdi instead as they were cheaper. I like yours, anyway.For ages I had a desktop on my computer of Nelson Reis sidehopping a huge cotton reel, was proper big. Whatever happened to him?EDIT: This is the picture I'm on about (Clicky - it's the top one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_fred Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Haha i remember that pic, yeh he was an awesome rider.I had brisa B26D in white. At the time it was an awesome frame, but i had a got on it quite recently and actually the geo sucks. The back end is about a mile long.Didn't break though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
