Here's the thread about the latest update:

http://www.observedtrials.net/threads/non-trials-stable-part-deux.35872/page-70#post-797964

Selling for 2 reasons:
1. I honestly haven't touched it since that post
2. I have too many bikes and need to thin the herd because I'm running out of space quickly.

Specs:

Avid Ultimate rear brake with odyssey clear pads
Odyssey Linear Slick cables
BB7 203 mm front brake
R7 fork lowered and custom tuned by FastBike Industries
Campagnolo front wheel laced to an X9 hub
Profile Racing Elite 208 EP SS hub laced to a DX32
Monty carbon bars
Middleburn cranks
Middleburn trials bash and 22t ring
King headset

No pedals included. I put them on another bike. $800 obo as long as it's not a shitty offer.

I didn't even see that somehow...nah, not looking for anything in trade. But yeah, those are standard mounts, nothing different.

It is. This was actually the Trials Bike JJ went to Worlds on. Well, I have the actual ones he rode in Worlds hanging on my wall, but this is the same frame. So yes, it’s a Trials Bike. If you wanted to ride pure Trials on it, you could, but you would need to switch out the fork to rigid and it would be what people rode back in he early 2000’s...I.e. closer to a real bicycle and not a pogo stick...so, like a Hex. [emoji23]

I set it up as a street Trials Bike with a suspension fork. The fork is set up REALLY stiff so it’s more or less designed to have minimal travel and just take the edge off. Think of like Tom Ohler, Ryan Leech, or Dominik Raab style of riding...

Geometry with the current fork is:
21.5" top tube
400 mm chain stays
+15 BB
71-72 Head Angle

It’s really good at everything and the longer rear end makes it great for manuals but it’s still relatively comfy on the back wheel for Trials moves. The gearing right now is setup for street...

the fact that this hasnt sold is pretty sad.. it was only a few years ago, i sold my steel megamo and pashleys and realised at the time people had no idea. This bike is a very special weapon and something that if i had the cash and space would definitely hang on my wall. someone needs to jump on this!!

I know...the state of trials (or this forum) is pretty bad. Sadly, this is also the best place to list it as other forums have no idea what a Capriolo is...
