I'm so pumped! My brother just started riding trials! We built up my Echo Control this summer and he's all excited trying to learn back wheel hops and what not. (He got over 20 today, and his first pedal kick!! I'm so proud of him!)

Please welcome him to the forums! His user name is Egy and I just wanted to start a thread for him to post pictures of his bike! Hopefully he'll post them this evening...

Hey sorry it took so long, apparently there was something wrong with my account. Well this is my new trials bike, aka Mikey's old parts. What do you think!?

Ugly as sin. But its a 1st bike. Your 1st bike looks like a BMW compared to my 1st trials rig.

Keep on ridin! Welcome brother.

Hot S? My god you're rocking the old school. And put a new chain on, please! I had the exact some one - broke in 2 pedal kicks.

Oh yeah also get a chain ring. It will make your chain and ffw last longer.

A tensioner and a grind for those massive drop gaps and you'll be set!!!!

Happy riding!!!!

That's so awesome!! I can't wait to see it in person! I love the way it looks, and I apologize for the extremely ignorant folks on here.

Honestly though, I really like the way it looks!

Thanks guys, I like everyone's concern for my style, if you saw any of my other bikes you'd all love them since they match so well. But like I said it's a hodgepodge of old and random parts. I'm just really excited to start riding trials. Thanks and keep the post coming!

O ya, it isn't a new headset but it seems to be working well enough. Also I got a Surly Singulator but I need to find the other spring. And finally I know the chain is such a piece! A link actually cracked in half when I was pushing a pin back in!

I think I might be running 18-15, wheel I bought comes with 18t and 15t cogs... so I'll still need the thread on cog for the crank... King wheel too :)
