I just happened into this while looking for tire options. It's not really current trials geometry and leans quite a bit toward street but, for the price, I thought someone might be interested. Note that it also has the option of running 24" wheels.

Don't buy one of those for trials... or for anything for that matter. All around pretty bad.

The pitbull is nice but I think I prefer this one --> http://www.webcyclery.com/product.php?productid=17272&cat=452&page=1

Especially after reading the reviews.

Well my friend rides one, and it's really damn short, the stays are long, and the bosses are really poorly designed, so you get little power in the back brake because the pads are all the way up in the calipers.

the pitbull isn't good for trials, the bb will be fucking low and the headnangle will be steeeeep(i know i have one, tried a regular rigid fork on it for fun - not tooo bad but definetly not good) for dirtjumping/park/street with a short shock or a long rigid fork -go ahead a great frame...
