Post your ride(s)

Parts detail to follow. Warm weather says go ride. Here is my Stock.

Vee’s belong on Stock bikes. And I don’t mean the tires.

Perhaps 18 lbs...

About to go ride...

 

[De_Nada]

Loving the beausage and v brakes.

 

[De_Nada]

Simtra ST-1. Sick early 00s comp geo. White industries hubs and freewheel. Mono trials brakes. I love that its quiet. 25lbs. Still figuring out bar/lever angle. Rear brake completely useless right now but I'll get that taken care of soon ish. Brand new Der Kaiser hasnt even been ridden yet (but I did have to shave down some of the center knobs to make it fit). All of my favorite things are in this picture.

 

[Indy]

Bionic +65 frame
Trial Tech 150mm stem
Echo Tr headset (ten years old) and cap
Zhi v fork
Echo SL Hubs laced to SL rims triple butted sipaim spokes
Try All shift front tire, Jitsie rear
Avid SL levers and arms
Tnn pads
Try All cranks/BB/freewheel 108
Echo Tr pedals
Neon brake adapter
ALL bolts replaced with Ti
Jitsie snail cams with KMC chain

Any parts that have anodized gold have become that color from sunlight only with the exception of the pedals

Dig the dual disc Simtra. I don’t think that frame will ever break.

Only thing that bothers me...
That bong is far too clean.

 

[Indy]

Bionic +65 frame
BB7 levers and calipers, hope 160 rotors
TryAll carbon bars and 180 stem
King headset
Rockman hubs, TryAll rims, sapaim butted spokes
Jitsie tires and snail cams
TryAll cranks and 108 freewheel, Echo Tr pedals

about 18.5 lbs, surprisingly slightly heavier than my stock.

Only thing that bothers me...
That bong is far too clean.

It gets cleaned every AM and then ripped while coffee is brewing.

Felt Breed. About 19lbs. Completely stock except the handbuilt rear wheel. Velocity Chukker laced to Hope Pro 2 Trials. Folded the stock wheel doing some dumb drop to rear, asked LBS to suggest a rim that can take abuse. Super fun commuter than can rip around the city and roll over/through anything. Raced it once and got owned by a bunch of nerds with shaved legs.

 

[Indy]

Always liked a good cross bike...
They call them gravel bikes or some such nonsense these days.
Overly used grips. That bike gets to complete its intended purpose. Love it.

 

[Swoofty]

Just built out this pony. My old czar was stolen in 2020 and I finally found the same frame in Japan so now I'm back in 26" heaven. It wears a big fat lock even in the garage now.

 

[Elan]

who has xtp2 #123?

 

[Indy]

My buddy just picked up one off marketplace for his son. King hub and a bunch of parts stripped off a Monty. Got it for like $300 or something silly low.

Believe it or not still a scene here in The Natural State.

 

[Indy]

That czar is slick
Love trials bikes with seats
Who’s got a sexy PX out there?
Crescent, Megamo?

 

[tda]

Nothin but hobos, inpulse n hex here..

One day I’ll ride the inpulse...


and building the greatest frame ever made back up slowly...

/ pogo princesses, gu (definitely a fav bike ! gap monster)

anti “street trials” with a “long n low” 10?yr old stem hope it rides ok... rain life out there now

 

[Indy]

Frank the Welder. Awesome frame.

You’ve got some good projects down there.

The kids today have know idea. All you could get back in the day was a frame and then you cobbled that shit together to make a trials bike. Heck, we just used 15” MTB frames for a long time and smeared tar on crappy brakes to make it work. Now complete bikes that work out of the box. My how things have changed.
Tires sucked forever too. I had an IRC El gato once. A supposedly trials specific tire that was made of tissue paper. First decent one I remember was the Tioga 2.3 DH.

 

[tda]

i was a fan of some geax tires... but definitely remember how unsoft the rubber was in most early mtb tires... Michelin 24.1 was the first unreal gripper
