We'd just like to take this opportunity to wish all of our friends and customers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We hope you get everything you wished for, and have a great year of riding ahead. See you in 2011!
I posted this up online a week or so ago and entirely forgot to post it here. So, well, here it is!
This is my 2011 Fourplay Frame built up with a selection of the finest parts that Inspired and Trialtech have to offer. Massive thanks to those guys!
And as a bonus, while filming for Ali C's (now living in Blackpool instead of Hebden Bridge!) new video I got him to film a couple of clips of me too. Nothing huge, but had fun doing it which is the main thing. Expect Ali'sHex promo video to drop in the next day or two as well...
P.S. In case you were wondering what's going on with my forks, that's a glass fibre footjam plate Adam moulded for me. Carbon fibre version soon, hopefully!
The home page has been a bit of a whopper recently as far as new products go, and that's continued this Friday with all the new Echo and ZOO! 2011 frames going live. We're expecting them in early January, although if you want to be automatically informed when they're in stock just click the "Contact me when back in stock" button. Do it!
We've had about a million new products go up on the home-page since the site when live, from Viz Top Caps to the pimp new Curve V2. Loads of products in between too, so head over to the homepage to check them out - as well as the new site which we... er... sort of forgot to mention on here.
EDIT: Added a bit of an over-view of the Try-All 2011 range over ont' forum - head over there for a few more details!
Pretty amazing packing. Could use that in schools to teach kids what tessellation is...
Gav and Stan are currently trading some fairly savage "Your mum..." jokes and getting it unpacked, so it'll be up on the site soon! Same goes for our new Echo order too. Busy busy busy!
Prior to tomorrow's big Red Bull: Way Back Home video by Danny MacAskill, here's a little edit for DigDeep - Danny's clothing sponsor - filmed over a couple of days in London. Streety! Click here to view.
As you can see on the Home Page, we've got some more info about Danny's new video is due out on the 16th November. To accompany the video, there's going to be a live Q&A session with Danny on the Way Back Home website.
We'll also have the video up on our website when it goes live, so keep an eye out there too!
As I mentioned the 2011 Inspired Fourplay frame, we've got some fresh photos showing the production red and also the frame with correct mounts on (i.e. 4-bolt and disc).
It's no secret that here at TartyBikes we're pretty keen on 24" related matters, and this Sean Watson video for Inspired is no exception. Some really creative riding in there borrowing moves from both BMX and trials creating something well worth watching! Sean's even made it over to the Dirt website which is pretty cool.
Sean's riding the new Fourplay 2011 frame, which is out now!
EDIT: Video doesn't seem to be formatting right, so click the Youtube video to view it on the Youtube page.
We've got plenty more products up on the home page now which range from great value helmets up to sweet full builds. Also up on there is the Mountain Biking Tricks and Techniques book from one of the sport's legends, Martyn Ashton.
Aussie trials rider Mitch Ho e-mailed us recently with a pretty strange find - seeing the word "Trials" in 'our' font is pretty unusual, so it was weird to find this in our inbox!
And for a bit of riding from Mitch, here's his video from earlier in the year to use up clips filmed on his Atomz stock before switching to his FANS 26".
If you've checked out our homepage, you'll have no doubt noticed the new Onza products on offer. There's a great range of products at pretty good prices, so if you're planning on changing anything on your 20" or 24" bike, you'll no doubt find something that'll suit!
Well, this is the last of 'em! All the new range of Inspired frames and bikes are on the website now for pre-order. We've got the frames and bikes hopefully arriving tomorrow, or Thursday at the latest. Plenty to go and check out, so get clicking!
Yet more new Inspired news - the entire 2011 range featuring the Hex, Fourplay Team, Fourplay Pro and the Element are available to view on the Inspired Website. They should be available by the middle of next week at the latest.
