*** One to get around and one to hop around ***



'93 or '94 ? GT Pantera built up with spare and new parts as a beast commuter.
2004 Echo Team Mod built up to be long and sexy.

Both bikes have the same wheelbase

 

[Dane]

[naz]

hmmm moDan why not get some try-all bar n stem, they look n ride hella pimp.

[Daver]

[armpit]

[Tomas]

you know your trials bike is missing the seat?

Hahahahha dave imagine how many times a day he gets that. I know quite the small ammount aboot trials, but dude that looks sweet...

 

[snow_rider]

nice, 8) 8) 8) i like the sudden change in size does that feel strange when you change bikes?

 

[dylma]

mmm, quit the rigid setup. does not tickle my tastebuds though. and they both have the same colours, though the trials bike looks a bit more shinier.

 

[LEX]

hahah yeh iv got friends who see a pic of trials bikes and go where is the seat? but iv also had ppl ask me where are the breaks on a bike with disc breaks. dam un educated bastards lol

 

[spuddy]

this may seem like a noob question, but is it a pain in the ass to go somewhere on a trials bike to do stuff? with no seat and gearing like that it must be a bitch to commute....

 

[lotec]

pfft he has a commuiter bike for that and whats wrong with sitting on the top tube? :? sick bikes i no nothing about trials bikes but that looks hell pimp 8)

 

[mtbmx]

i need to get me a trials bike they look so pimp plus i wanna learn to do trials

 

[Tomas]

If your waiting at the lights or somthing, you can sit on the back tire. 2.5" of pure squishy trials tire!

A great reply us trials riders use to this most frequently asked question is:
"I lent my bike to your Mum, and this is how I got it back"

And yeah, your right, it is a pain in the arse getting around. But boy does it get you kadence up!! :shock:

 

[MoDan]

Thanks for the comments!

Confucious say " Is a car with no roof racks missing roof racks? "
A seat is an accessory that a trials bike doesn't need, just like monster T's

The most common question you get asked riding trials is usually by little bandits that follow you around - 3 questions in one sentence they say : "Hey wheres the seat?, how do you ride with no seat?, can you show me your best trick?" haha.

Yeah it's no 10 second bike thats for sure. more than a few km's is a pain but you're usually stopping pretty regularly to rear wheel hop on some little bandit thats just asked the golden question

nice, i like the sudden change in size does that feel strange when you change bikes?

Shit yeah! but in a good way - 'once a trials rider always a show off' so any other bike you ride is always being trackstanded or hopped in some way. Do this for a while on a high standover fairl heavy mtb and when you get back on a Mod it feels like the lightest most agile bike in the universe. It's cool.

 

[MoDan]

Naz : Yeah try-all bar/stem are pretty nice. You been riding sams echo!
They are just lower and flatter - makes some things easier and some harder. If i had a spare $200 i would get some but can't see the point at the moment. Prolly get an ENO freewheel or Try-all tires first!

 

[MUGEN]

lol...i prefer having a seat even if its full trail bike.

 

[SPOON]

lol...i prefer having a seat even if its full trail bike.

I'll definitelly agree with that one.....tired and no seat aint a gd combo
