Its here ;D Im building a new trials bike from this frame: (old school, 2004 frame)  Geometry: Headtube : 72 deg (guestimate) Chainstays : 14.75" (center to center) sweeeeeet Size : 10.5"(9" actual) Wheelbase : 1040 mm Its gonna be SS and built with a ridgid fork with rear vees and front disk. Prolly look like this --->  Problems Ive encountered so far is looking for a 128mm BB and finding the correct length of the fork for a +BB rise (5-10mm will do), I guess the frame was built to have 0 BB +/-. I chose the frame for a suspension fork and with saddle, unfortunately I changed my mind on the fork and sadddle but the frame was bought already. (I will post the built bike in the gallery as soon as it is built) |

Its polished, but workmanship on the frame isnt that good, kita ang mga sablay because of the lack of paint.
I couldnt get my hands on a Try-all RD, cant find someone who sells hehe.
SS is because of target weight.

good luck patrik!
scrape it off and have a little powdercoat on that, then use a short cage shimano sora or a 105 pwede na yun ;D , then find a Truvativ SL 127 BB, yu're good to go! then like a long sturdy stem and an able kinesis rigid fork
Definitely try to have an RD coz no one in trials (pure trials that is) go SS, bsides it's hard to make those surges and slaps with a heavy gearing combo.

vertigo : I asked around for 127mm BB in Quiapo last time but couldnt find one (ISIS, JIS and even Octalink). Maybe 118 mm will do hmmm Powder coating is actually a good idea ... maybe.;D but if ever I go for painting I would go for something neon that hurts the eye hehe.

hey pat, how much is that frame o yours? Cheap lang its embarassing to post hehe prolly same as how much you bought your frame. Shipping and money transfer is expensive lang. If you want to buy I would suggest getting an Echo (downtube is a lot thicker on the PURE and CONTROL, magura nga lang ang preno)...that was my mistake and I see myself buying one in a few months ;D this frame feel like its 1.7 kg so you can imagine how thin the tubings are (prolly a race frame). Thanks GTU, does the support include a free dabomb HSR rear hub? hehe ;D |

Joey im off the bike until I build the new one
I feel it is futile to practice on my gray bike after seeing someone on OTN DOING trials after only 5 months... that gray bike is sabotaging my progression hehe this guy had a trials bike from day one he started. I will post his video soon and man is he smoooooth.
GTU thanks padin hehe.
