Brisa B26D... I know you all hate 'em... but...

[willapaj]

I'm trying to get rid of mine. Feels too cramped for me and I'm dying to FINALLY try a longer bike. That or get out of trials altogether, since I've been riding for 5 years and haven't progressed at all in the past 3. I've pretty much hit a wall (not literally). Anyway, here's the specs:

Brisa B26D, 2004, red anodized
Orange Trials fork, black
Brisa Elite bar/stem combo
XTR brake levers
XT thumbshifter
Avid Mechanical front disc, 6", magura rotor (or galfer or avid, maggie one seems to work best)
ODI Ruffian Lock on Grips
Truvativ ISIS BB (can't remember what model, but a DH version)
TryAll ISIS FF cranks, bashring
White Industries Trials Freewheel, 18t
KMC K810 chain
AtomLab Trail King pedals
shaved down velo mini plastic seat
Avid rear V-brake (can't remember model...)
Avid Flak-Jacket housing to rear brake
Salsa Booster
XTR rear derailleur (modified, no tension spring = no slapping)
Lizard Skins chainstay guard
Cassette: 17, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11. All cogs random shimano except 15t, which is a Chris King Cog.
Front Wheel: XT disc, Sun Singletrack. Had this wheel forever, pretty beat up, but still works fine. Rim is 31mm wide. Maxxis Minion DH front, single ply, 60 durometer rubber, 2.35".
Rear wheel: Echo fixed, DX32 (ground). Maxxis Minion DHR, 2.5", super tacky rubber, 14g spokes. Built last summer, not much use. Bearings in hub showing a little play, easily and cheaply replaced.

I've had the frame for a year and a half or so now. Hasn't seen too much use lately, but has some scratches as you'd expect. No dents on downtube at all. No cracks I've found either, and I check pretty often. A lot of the parts are quite new (freewheel, rear wheel, cranks). As things wore out, I was replacing them with UCI style stuff, in hopes I'd be able to afford a different frame. No luck so far. Also, right now it has a Chris King headset, but that'll probably go on my XC bike.
So, if anyone is interested in the whole bike or any of the parts, let me know. I will probably wait a while to part it out. I can't imagine anyone on here will want the frame, since they have such a bad reputation (not entirely unfair, I'll admit), but whatever. Just testing the waters...

ill buy your crank and some other stuff.

If you need help I would recomend riding with some local riders. Sometimes it helps to see how a technique is performed to. Come down to boston sometime and mess around on some urban. Trials is all about persistence but you have to do what you can to make sure you use your time efficiently. Mix it up, and ride with some people. Good luck.

Im looking for a cheap way to get into trials. I would like to see some pics, and how much are you looking to get for the whole bike?

[yuth_rider]

Yeah, I know. I rode alone for 2 years before I ever got a chance to ride with anyone else. Then I found a couple guys who wanted to learn, so I spent a lot of time teaching them the basics. They picked it up quickly, and after about a year and half, they were better than me. So I rode with them for a couple years, and we learned a bit from eachother... My biggest problem is mental though. When I first started learning, I hurt myself pretty bad trying to bunny hop a wall. Since then, I've always choked when trying to do things with any sort of speed. Give me some hay bales, and I can up more than 3 feet, but I would chicken out if it were a wall. So, it's not that I don't know how to do the move, it's overcoming the worry of eating shit if I don't quite make it. I've been trying, but I can't seem to.
Anyway, I've moved down to Mississippi for grad school, and there is no one to ride with here. Just a couple old school roadies... So we'll see...

And, like I said, I don't want to part it out just yet. I'll let you know when I do.

SEan_: I don't know how new to this sport you are, but with the spec this bike has, it's not going to be cheap. Or actually, define what is cheap to you...

I'll try to get pictures up this afternoon. Cheers.
