-thanks

..... for the money for a fourplay, i'd rather get an echo or because 24" or even a reset

Builds up nice (Everything is straight and even), gaps well, sidehops ok (cockpit is kinda small to get leverage), bunnyhops well, good overall geo (its a do it all bike), paint is reasonably tough, very stiff frame.
It is definitely a street trials frame. I do the brakeless trials thing on mine.
If you wanted it for pure trials it might hold you back in some areas.
The only issue I had was getting one of my tensioners to fit. The spacing kept putting them in the spokes. Might be the hub I am using too. Who knows. I just made a tensioner out of straight iron and bolted a roller on it. Works great.
I would say buy one if your interested.
9/10

Here is my build:

what do you want to know?

originaly i had a heatsink uk24 and it broke,i thought it was fantastic.i replaced the frame with an inspired and was amazed how much better it was.first up i could all the moves i strugled with on the 24uk.

when i first pulled it out of the box i was blown away at the build quality and paint finish,there really well made(so they should be for the cost)the welds are fantastic,the rear end is square(i state this because my heat sink wasnt and it was hard to put the wheel in)

when i built it up there was no problems at all,it went together smooth as.i like how the sticker kit is sepperate allowing you to put the stickers where you want to.

i like the feel of the frame when riding,it feels stiff and responsive for how i ride,the frame seem like it will last along time,ive had mine built for 8months now and thrash it every ride and its taken it all in its stride.

i think you should get one,how ever i havent riden the others to give a full opinion on them.

the biggest flaw with them would be the lack of disc mount on rear,however this has been addressed.

Great vid Filodude, you look so natural in the park and on street moves but a bit cramped on the bike with rock and natural moves. Is this your only trials bike?

Crescent · 02-17-2010, 06:02 PM

What size stem and bar were you using during that vid?

on my inspired im using 2 different set ups

viz pro 700 bars with viz 120x20 stem

ns district bars 3.5'' rise and a profile 63mm stem

fist it had the viz set up,then i spent more and more time at the skate park so i went for a shorter stem,the profiler stem and ns bars are higher then my old set up.

Awesome! I enjoyed that. Like said earlier you do look a bit cramped riding natural, but you said you fixed that

Another video?

filotr14lsdude · 02-18-2010, 04:50 AM

What video style?

Just inspired
just trials
or a mix of both?

I'm currently filming ATM for a pure trials video,but I can get some inspired footage

niwlen · 02-18-2010, 05:19 AM

The inspired in the vid

( used purely for street ). I'd go for smth with a horizontal dropout.

Georg · 02-18-2010, 09:44 AM

Thanks for the answers.. just ordered mine now. loooking forward for it, got a little bored of the natural trials.. and allways liked to put some bmx / street in my riding , so i think this bike will fit me perfectly

Keith Courage · 02-19-2010, 04:25 PM

I always wondered the plausibility of riding an Inspired for natty. Nice.
Your street stuff was awesome too. Great vid man.

Sorry, your musical interest completely sucks.

filotr14lsdude · 02-20-2010, 04:27 AM

Thanks,I agree with the music comment.however it flows with the riding quite nice which I find important.

I'm a metal head,and some people arnt.I've made videos with oldies,rock techno,metal,rap,crap and there's always a critic.so I just find songs that flow with the riding,I don't really care what people say about the songs,regardless to what you use people will always hate it.
