New brands.

2012-03-07T16:55:00.004Z

Throughout the day we've been adding a range of new products to the site from brands like Spank, NukeProof, X-Toolz and Brand-X. Whether you need some new pedals, a new spoke key or just some scented grips, we've got you covered...

Joe Maher - Fresh Air

2012-03-06T15:00:00.003Z

Yet another new video from Joe Maher, this time featuring some different areas of Barrow Farm as well as a litle street! Well worth checking out if you need a little pre-ride motivation - click here to view.

Ozonys Skill 20"

2012-03-02T09:49:00.004Z

The 20" complete bike market has been hotting up over the past year, with new models from Echo and RockMan, the Koxx 749 and 1049 as well as the Zoo Lynx - not to mention the usual models from Onza.

French brand Ozonys - well known for the 20", 24" and 26" Curve frames - have stepped into the fray now with their Skill range of 20", 24" and 26" bikes. We're gradually adding these to the site, and first up is the Skill 20". A good frame and fork built up with a selection of great parts from Bonz, Ozonys' parts brand, make it a great option if you fancy something a little different.

Inspired 2012 Range

2012-02-27T15:15:00.006Z

A few details have been released on the Inspired website regarding their 2012 range of bikes, specifically relating to the Element 24" and 26" bikes, and the Fourplay Pro and Fourplay Team completes. The Elements have mainly cosmetic changes, but the Fourplay bikes feature updated geometry, new colourways and a slightly tweaked spec. Check out those sweet limited edition white cranks on the Team bikes too...

We've also got the 2012 Inspired Element 24" and 26" bikes in stock now:

In other Inspired news, Danny MacAskill has a new video out for his new sponsors Lezyne. Some cool riding and an interesting interview too, ideal!

If you're having problems viewing that video, you can head over to Lezyne's Facebook page, like their page then view the video there.

New products...

2012-02-21T11:51:00.001Z

We've put quite a few new products up on the website in the past few days, so keep an eye out for any new bits and pieces! One notable product is the Echo Lite 2012 frame - a few updates from the older model, improving on an already good product. Ideal!

Magura MT2 disc brakes

2012-02-20T16:59:00.002Z

Magura have launched a new range of disc brakes for 2012 - the MT series! We've got the entry-level MT2 brakes in stock now, which are a great value-for-money alternative to brakes like the Echo TR discs and Hope Tech Trials.

Click here to view the brakes, and click below to check out one of our new Product Videos - soon to be introduced to more products across the site!

TartyBikes Warehouse Tour

2012-02-17T13:23:00.005Z

We've had a couple of videos showing some of the riding area inside our warehouse before, but we haven't done a full-on tour video yet. Seeing as the warehouse is nice and tidy post-move, we thought now was the time! This doesn't quite show all of our new warehouse arrangement, but it should give you a pretty good idea of how we take and process orders, and how the parts area came to be!

...and here's our video of Cap and Stan playing around on the riding area!

One part of the warehouse we didn't cover was our "Random shoe boutique" upstairs...

More Joe Maher...

2012-02-17T09:56:00.003Z

Another week and another cool video from Joe Maher - never a bad thing! This video features Joe's trademark style with plenty of power, control and style, as well as a couple of clips from Matt Mitchell.

New video and move progress...

2012-02-03T15:42:00.003Z

The last two weeks have been pretty full-on, but fortunately we're still on course for our re-opening on Monday! Stay tuned for a new warehouse tour at some point soon, too - it probably won't stay this tidy for long, so we'll need to act fast...

While we were slaving away, team riders Joe Maher and Tom Rankin were making the most of the ever-increasing facilities at Barrow Farm.

Cap and Stan

2012-01-18T19:02:00.001Z

Indoor video frenzy! Here's Cap and Stan riding the new unit from two nights last week. You can check Stan's bike out here.

New Joe Maher video

2012-01-16T16:03:00.005Z

Any Joe Maher content is always good to see, and Joe's latest video - a day edit from Barrow Farm's indoor setup riding his new customised RockMan Austin - is all good. A sweet mix of big, tech and creative lines all with Joe's trademark smooth style = good motivation!

Completes...

2012-01-12T14:17:00.005Z

A bunch of new complete bikes have gone up on the website over the past few days, starting with the Koxx 1049, moving up the range to the Onza Genesis, carrying on up to the Echo Pure SL Custom Spec then finally the 2012 Koxx Sky 2.

The 1049 is Koxx's top bike from their 'Entry' range - it's fitted with the new Magura MT2 disc brakes, the 2012 Try-All 'H' hubs and Stiky Lite tyres front and rear.

The Genesis is Onza's latest 26" bike. With a fairly comp-orientated spec it should be great for riding a spot of natural on, but can also handle street riding too.

Our Echo Pure SL Custom Spec bike is made up from a selection of top quality parts built around the excellent Echo Pure SL frame.

And lastly, the 2012 Koxx Sky 2 which pretty much needs no introduction...

Theft sucks.

2012-01-05T13:01:00.002Z

I've been good friends with Joel Bennett for a pretty long time now, and no doubt anyone who's ridden London will probably have bumped into him too. Soundest guy around, so to hear about the recent theft of both of his bikes and a bunch of other stuff sucks!

His bikes are pretty unique, so if you happen to see either a nice Leeson or Raleigh roadie up for sale online then get in touch with Joel via Facebook. Full details of the bikes are up here. Something that unique can't just disappear without a trace, so keep an eye out...

January sale.

2012-01-04T16:50:00.003Z

We get asked every year if we're having any sort of January sale, and this year the answer is 'yes'! We're taking 5% off all online orders from now until the 31st January, so if you're tempted by anything (or if you've got some Christmas money burning a hole in your pocket...) now's the time. Full details are available here.

Koxx Sky 2 2012 26" bikes...

2012-01-04T10:51:00.003Z

...are now in stock, and are also pimp! Quite a few changes to the last model including the upgrade to carbon bars and forks, as well as a switch to the 20" 3D forged stem that a lot of riders have begun using with these frames. Overall, a sweet build weighing in at 8.58kg! Full details are available here.

Frames frames frames.

2011-12-23T14:09:00.004Z

Plenty of new frames up on the home page this week - at prices from £349 all the way down to £49.99. Bargain!

We've got a mix of 20" frames, a 24" frame and a couple of 26"ers too.

Gelpr? Gelpr.

To quote Gabrielle...

2011-12-06T14:37:00.003Z

As Gabrielle once said, "Dreams can come true". Did someone say Echo/Zoo delivery?

There's pretty much a tonne of parts in that delivery so it'll take a day or two to get them up on site - if you're waiting for anything, set up a stock reminder and you'll get an e-mail as soon as they're up for sale!

Shiny and new.

2011-12-02T16:53:00.001Z

We've got a bunch of new stuff on site now, so if you're after any bits for your bike then it'd be worth having a quick look through the 'Latest Products' section on the home page and seeing if they tickle your fancy! Plenty of variety on there...

RockMan's newest frame

2011-11-29T15:20:00.002Z

Brand new from RockMan, the Austin 20" frame, as seen in their Austin complete bike. Up for sale at £279, the frame's a great value alternative to RockMan's more expensive frames such as the Manus or Aurem.

New V!Z freewheel

2011-11-29T14:00:00.002Z

Viz have stepped into the high performance freewheel market with their new one2zero freewheel. 120 clicks of sweet engagement joy! Full details (including volume level, if that does it for you) is available on site.

New stuff...

2011-11-24T16:48:00.003Z

Quite a lot of new stuff's been appearing on the home page over the past couple of days (plus some older items are now back in stock). Main two would be the Onza Limey 4 and Onza Genesis frames.

The Genesis has pretty solid geometry (1085mm WB, 380mm CS, +55mm BB) and a good overall weight of 1.56kg, with a price tag of £329.

The Limey 4 has some new-school UCI-style geometry (1095mm WB, 380mm CS, +70mm BB) and a slightly lower weight of 1.51kg. The Limey 4 comes in at £449.

In case you were wondering, it's also the 17th of Movember. Here are Cap and Gav "bonding" at the end of the day.

Inspired demo bikes

2011-11-17T16:49:00.003Z

New on the website today are the Inspired Ex-Demo Bikes!

We've got 1 Hex Pro and 3 Element 24" bikes with over 20% of discount from the RRP, so if you're in the market for a fun new bike then take a look.

2012 Ozonys products

2011-11-15T16:10:00.004Z

We've just received stock of some new 2012 Ozonys products! First up are three (technically four...) updated frames - the Cannibal V3, King Of Dunce V2 and the Curve V3 in two different models.

First up is the Cannibal - a great all-round frame, with some slightly less extreme geometry than a lot of new frames. It's also built to be strong, so features good reinforcement throughout the frame to help make it as stiff as possible. The graphics have also been updated for 2012, with a new gloss black finish over the frame's satin black anodised finish - teamed up with some nice green graphics.

Wheelbase: 1070mm
Chainstay Length: 380mm (18:15 gear ratio with no half link)
BB Rise: 35mm
Head Angle: 73 degrees
Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 660mm

Next up is the King of Dunce - a 24", street-orientated frame with some unique touches. For example, the built-in tensioners are a nice addition, and 2012 sees the braking option switched up to feature a post mount only setup (which comes with an additional +20mm adaptor). Ozonys have also added a couple of gussets to key areas to help shore them up - always good with the beating most streety 24" frames receive from spins and tricks.

Wheelbase: 1045mm
Chainstay Length: 375mm
BB Rise: 25mm
Head Angle: 72°
Reach from centre of BB shell to centre top of head tube: 660mm (25.9")

The Curve has been one of the most talked about frames since it's inception thanks to it's unique looks, and it's been freshened up for 2012 with some new graphics and slightly thicker tubing. This brings the frame weight up a touch, but should result in a stronger, longer-lasting frame. There's also now an even more beefed up model for more street-orientated riders which features even thicker tubing as well as a reinforced standard headtube instead of Ozonys' traditional sculpted internal headtube.

Wheelbase: 1090mm
Chainstay length: 380mm
BB Rise: +55mm
Head Angle: 71
Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 650mm (25.6")

More parts should be up within the next few days, so keep an eye on the home-page...

Because Simple complete bike

2011-11-02T15:29:00.002Z

Skye photos...

2011-10-28T10:35:00.005+01:00

We've finally had a chance to get some more detailed photographs of the new Inspired Skye bikes, and here are a selection:

Unfortunately the frame kits have sold out for the foreseeable future, but we still have the complete bikes in stock, available to ship in 1-2 working days.

You want pimp stuff?

2011-10-19T18:55:00.003+01:00

Bikes bikes bikes!

2011-10-13T16:54:00.003+01:00

There are another 4 bikes now on the homepage - the dinky little Onza Mini Master 2012, the slightly bigger (and very well specced) Koxx 749, the slightly larger (and much more streety) Onza Zoot 2012 and lastly a custom-spec Adamant 24". Options!

Onza Pro 2012

2011-10-13T14:15:00.004+01:00

Here's the Onza Pro 2012 bike - now complete with hydraulic disc brakes, a bit of an upgrade from the previous model! They also come in a subtle matte black finish with some cool gloss black graphics. A bit of a departure from Onza's usual style, but they look great.

Details are available here.

You know what time it is...

2011-10-13T11:30:00.001+01:00

...it's "TAKING PICTURES OF BIKES DAY!"

Here's Cap doing a last bit of fine-tuning to a 2012 Onza Mini Master. More soon...

Inspired at Hope!

2011-10-11T14:38:00.003+01:00

Back in April, Mark headed over to Hope's new HQ in Barnoldswick with Inspired and Danny Mac. Here's the video from the trip.

New 661 products

2011-10-04T11:59:00.003+01:00

Couple of new products from 661 came in stock today - the new Recon Wired 2012 and Dirt Lid 2012. The Recon is a nice, light 'All Mountain' helmet that comes in at a very reasonable £69, and the Dirt Lid is a skate-style lid that comes in a couple of different colours and a low price of £25. Bargainous. Helmets make sense, and getting one that fits well is always a good bet, so with the Recon's 'Detox' fit system allowing you to get a perfect fit, and the Dirt Lid coming with a sackfull of additional padding so you can get it just right, you should be covered!

New Inspired and Trialtech goodness...

2011-09-22T11:32:00.002+01:00

We just received a new shipment of Trialtech and Inspired products, including the Trialtech SL Topcap, some new stems, some new Inspired bashrings and chainstay protectors and a couple of new bikes (no Skye bikes yet though, sorry!). More on the website soon!

More blue pads...

2011-09-21T14:49:00.002+01:00

Another pair of new brake pads - blue seems to be a theme! This time it's from Dutch-based BBB, the Tie Fighter pads.

Their new shape 'grips' the cylinder much better than the standard design, which in turn should help reduce pad roll. Super soft compound makes them ideal for smooth rims.

New, from Hope...

2011-09-15T15:03:00.003+01:00

After many years using the same compound, Hope are now offering a softer 'Pro' compound as well as their 'Standard' pads.

The Pro pads have been developed in conjunction with some of the top riders and brands in the trials world and offer slightly improved performance at the expense of a slightly reduced wear life. Adam's got a set on his uber-light mod too, and so far so good!

Treats...

2011-09-14T10:59:00.003+01:00

If you end up heading down to the Street Light Session this weekend, you may be able to pick yourself up one of these cards...

And yes, choosing business card finishes and colours did remind me a lot of American Psycho.

See you down there!

Ta-daaa...

2011-09-09T13:53:00.001+01:00

We've had these in stock for a little while, but we've finally got round to getting photos of 'the range' - these are the new, coloured versions of the Echo SL Titanium pedals. Same colour range as the TR range, but with ti axles. 261g per pair!

Cap's new video...

2011-09-06T13:35:00.003+01:00

When he's not here at work, being a 'Big Lad', climbing, doing skids and wheelies for money, playing on his PS3 or eating, Cap likes nothing more than to boot some big gaps (sometimes to wheels, sometimes to downtube - he's not picky). This is his latest video with Matt "No bones" Arkwright featuring a selection of spots around Preston and Cleveleys.

Red Bull Street Light Sessions

2011-09-06T09:58:00.004+01:00

Here's a bit more info about the up-coming Red Bull Street Light Sessions:

"In a bid to give wiiings to the British trials bike community, Danny MacAskill, Martyn Ashton and Red Bull have been working tirelessly on the final preparations and adjustments to the Street Light setup, before it’s in Bristol on Saturday 17th September for the first of two Red Bull Street Light Sessions.

Danny has recently returned from Eurobike and is looking forward to getting back out riding in the UK . “It is really exciting for me to be back riding in the UK after a year of traveling, and the Red Bull Streetlight Sessions are a great way for me to catch up with the Trials scene over here. I am confident the riding setups we will be bringing to these cool locations will be well received, Red Bull know how to throw an event so come down and check it out!!”

Both Bristol and Manchester events will open their doors at 5pm, where up to 500 spectators will be able to watch the crème of the global trials scene in action, with a selected number being given the opportunity to ride the course alongside Danny or partake in a ‘Street Light Taster Session’. The events will run into the evening, gradually becoming illuminated under city lights, before coming to a close at 10pm.

Red Bull and Inspired Bicycles will run three, hour long ‘Street Light Taster Sessions’ in both Manchester and Bristol, offering a limited number of ‘street trials’ first timers a shot at the sport in a safe, progressive environment. Sign up at Redbull.co.uk/Streetlight to be in with your chance of securing a place.

Experienced Trials riders and those keen to spectate need simply turn up on the day. Danny, Martyn and Red Bull look forward to seeing you there!

City: Bristol
Venue: Castle Park, Bristol, BS1 3XD
Date: Saturday 17th September 2011

City: Manchester

Piiiimp.

Check 'em out...

Eco friendly?

2011-07-27T14:58:00.003+01:00

There are plenty of adverts around telling us to think of the environment and to recycle, and now you can Be-Green thanks to TNN.

Went there...

Combining the popular (and good, according to these reviews) LGM pads with the popular (and good, according to this review) Belaey pads, these pads are - according to TNN - the best of both worlds.

2011 Trialtech products...

2011-07-26T14:32:00.003+01:00

Bit of a change from the Echo theme recently - Trialtech have some new bits available (as well as some popular old ones such as the 4-Bolt 26" forks back in stock), including the new Sport Splitter and Sport Bashring. Stan's been testing out the splitter for over a year to good effect, and Mark's been bashing as usual to try out the new bashring - both are still working well.

2011 Echo products...

2011-07-20T16:21:00.005+01:00

Yet more products on the home page, check it out!

The newer, lighter Echo SL forks are available in disc only in silver or black for 20" or 26" wheels. They've got an upgraded steerer which now features a built-in crown race, meaning if you're running an Echo SL headset (or any headset with a 36° lower bearing) you can leave your existing crown race off.

The Echo TR Disc Pads are now also available, ideal for replacing those in your existing TR Hydraulic Disc Brake or your Mono Trial, Tech Trial or Try-All disc brake.

We also have the new 19" SL 2011 rim in stock. More weight shaved off compared to the 2010 version - it's now 100g lighter than an Echo TR rim, and around 5-10g lighter than a Try-All hOle rim.

Two Lite SL bikes...

2011-07-20T10:11:00.004+01:00

So, the frames have been available for a few days, but the complete Echo Lite SL Dual Disc bike is now available - 7.88kg as standard, not too shabby!

Adam got one of the Lite SL frames built up too (as well as some of the new SL 2011 forks), and this is the result - 7.46kg in total with a 'real' spec:

Update update update...

2011-07-19T14:19:00.002+01:00

The Media page has just been updated with Joe's latest two videos - check it out if you need any inspiration, or if you're planning on hitting Radfest this weekend and want to get a sneak peek at what's available to ride...

New Echo disc brakes.

Joe's 'Welcome' edit!

2011-07-16T19:57:00.002+01:00

Joe Maher's been around the UK scene for what seems like forever, and with his riding constantly improving and him generally being a sound guy it made sense to get him on the team. If you want to learn more about Joe click here to check out his profile, or click below to check out a video filmed over a couple of hours in London back in May.

You snooze, you lose...

2011-07-15T11:25:00.003+01:00

We also had the new Koxx Sky 2 20" model in, but they sold out faster than the charity chocolate box that gets delivered once a week.

That's pretty fast.

The Sky 2 has been slightly tweaked from the earlier model, as shown below...

Echo Pure SL 2011 complete bikes

2011-07-15T11:16:00.005+01:00

The Echo Pure SL 2011 Complete Bikes are now in stock!

These are decked out with Ti bolts throughout, as well as most parts being upgraded to Echo's Titanium/SL range too. 9.06kg for the 'standard' bike - not bad, especially for £1299...

The Pure SL frame also features slightly tweaked geometry from the standard Pure frame, with a 5mm shorter reach and 5mm shorter wheelbase. The 2011 SL Forks are also revised from the previous model, now featuring an integrated crown race to match up with Echo's SL Headset.

The Lite SL 2011 bike will be going up shortly too, as well as the standard Pure 2011, Trial 2011 and Lite 2011 bikes going back into stock. If you've been waiting for an Echo product to come back into stock, then chances are that'll be in again now.

Fork jenga.

2011-07-07T10:58:00.001+01:00

Get back in the workshop!

Echo Order... Arrived.

2011-07-05T18:00:00.003+01:00

Well, it's taken a while, but our Echo order (all 1.38 tons of it) is finally here! We'll be checking it off in the next few days, so if there's anything you're waiting for feel free to set up a stock reminder and our system will fire you an email when it's back in stock.

We also got a 4-pallet Koxx/Try-All order today, which has been unpacked, checked off and (mostly) added to the website. The Sky 2 bikes, freewheels and frame kits have changed spec a little so we're gonna have to build some up and get new photos etc. before they go on the site.

Bits 'n' pieces.

2011-06-16T10:26:00.004+01:00

So, another week has passed, and a lot more things have happened! The first Clean jam happened in Bristol this weekend, with Nick Cooke taking first place and earning himself a shiny new frame. Photos of the day are up on the Clean site.

Speaking of things being up on websites - there are plenty of new items that have gone up on the home-page too. Whether you want a sweet new bike, some replacement pedal pins or a new brake booster - there's plenty to see.

New products, new media!

2011-06-09T09:42:00.003+01:00

So - a lot's happened since TartyDays (click that link to view some official photos, or click here to view some very unofficial photos), as you can probably tell by checking out the homepage. We've now got some team edition Hope products back in stock, as well as a few new bits and pieces from other manufacturers.

Whilst at TartyDays, Ali had a bit of a mishap with an 11ft drop resulting in a suspected broken foot. To try and combat non-riding-related boredom, Ali went to a quarry in deepest darkest Yorkshire with Stan and Mark and pioneered some natural crutch trials:

Stan and Mark also recently headed down to Bristol and filmed a little video with Ben Rowlands - the usual smooth, flowy lines you'd expect from Stan with some streety moves from Mark, Ben, John Shrewsbury and Bristol-local Dave Wells.

As a bit of non-TartyBikes-related inspiration, here's a cool video of all-round legend Chris Akrigg doing some super nice moves at some local spots, followed by a pretty savage crash. Get well soon, Chris!

2011 Onza bikes

2011-05-26T11:39:00.003+01:00

We're due to receive our first drop of the new Onza 2011 bikes tomorrow, including the Onza Bird 2011, the Onza Ska 2011 and the Onza Rip 2011. Full details are up on the site here, here and here, and we should have some updated photos next week too.

See you at TartyDays!

New from Ozonys...

2011-05-24T13:03:00.001+01:00

Forgot to mention this last week, but we've now got the new Cannibal V3 in stock. Click here for info!

Some other new Ozonys frame and forks are up later in the week...

TribalZine

2011-05-18T14:55:00.002+01:00

Two noteworthy things from TribalZine today - firstly, a little Q&A with Mark about Section 01, but also this awesome K-124 Days video. We're all very keen on this, so pull up a chair and make yourself comfy...

Site updates...

2011-05-18T14:21:00.001+01:00

So, new tyres for your 24" bike, and then some videos for inspiration? Ideal...

Fresh produce...

2011-05-17T14:13:00.005+01:00

We've got some new bits and pieces on the website, and hopefully by the end of the week we should have even more.

First up, the much talked-about MilkyWay Gummy Bashrings. A fairly new, innovative concept in a usually plain, unremarkable section of the market, the Gummy uses a trio of elastomers to try and reduce the impact of landing on your bash on objects instead of transferring that force straight into your cranks/BB/frame. Available in silver or black by clicking here.

We've also got a small drop of the FiveTen Baron shoe, featuring the revised Stealth Sole. Top riders like Ali C and Danny Mac swear by their Five Tens, as do other riders from different disciplines such as multiple downhill world champion Sam Hill. Pretty good pedigree! Click here for more info.

Lastly (for now!) we have the Echo Titanium Caged pedals, now available in a pimpin' all-black colourway. Nice and stealthy, not to mention pretty light! 254g per pair is pretty decent. Click here for info on one of the lightest pair of pedals on the market...

Tech tip...

2011-05-11T14:29:00.005+01:00

We've had a few e-mails/calls about this problem, and here's our solution to it - if you've found it tricky removing an axle bolt from a hub before, here's a pretty simple way to do it.

Jack Carthy: Pretty good.

2011-04-21T14:05:00.002+01:00

Adam took a trip up to Brimham Rocks for the 1st round of the British Trials Cup, and spent a bit of time filming team rider Jack Carthy aboard his new Koxx Sky 2 (which should be back in stock soon, hopefully). This video's the result. If this is a sign of things to come for the comps for the rest of the year it should be pretty interesting!

Riding.

2011-04-18T18:30:00.003+01:00

Ali, Danny, Mark, Rowan and Stan all have some clips in this - bit of pre-ride motivation if you need it!

How cheap?

2011-04-06T15:02:00.003+01:00

In answer to that question: £799.

Bargain!

Cheap wheels...

2011-03-30T10:00:00.003+01:00

If you're on the look-out for a new 26" or 24" frame, we might have something to tempt you - we have all the remaining Ashton/DiamondBack frames in the country at pretty tempting prices. £139.99 buys you either an Effect 24" Frame, Fork and Headset or £149.99 buys you a Justice Frame, Fork and Headset. Pretty bargainous!

Bits 'n' pieces

2011-03-29T14:41:00.002+01:00

Nothing too exciting today - just some top caps and brake spares. Not going to set the world on fire, but pretty handy if you need them!

Cap settling in nicely.

2011-02-24T15:43:00.000Z

Getting on pretty well with Gav especially, it seems...

The weighing game?

2011-02-23T10:36:00.001Z

The new uber accurate scales are coming into their own...

Racey.

2011-02-22T11:35:00.001Z

Sweet levers ahoy! 77.6g (according to our pimpy new scales), which is pretty light. Full info over here.

Rice Pudding.

2011-02-18T13:06:00.002Z

Nothing was going to get between Stan and his rice pudding, not even the absence of a tin opener...

It's been a little while since we've posted up a custom spec bike we've built up - this time it's the Neon Bow 20". A solid build with Trialtech Forks, TR Wheels and a range of great quality parts on there - all for £1099. Not bad, not bad...

New Tech lever colour.

2011-02-08T16:21:00.001Z

Well, with that title I sort of made this redundant... Here's a link to the Product Page for info, and here are some photos.

Adam's been busy...

2011-02-07T10:50:00.003Z

Well, I (Adam) broke my rear hub recently, so decided to custom make a new one... Here's the result:

More pics and info on Trials Forum!

Products products products.

2011-01-28T16:08:00.003Z

A couple of new items went up today - the 221 Kamel Risers in White, Black and Red, and the Kenda Small Block Eight 26" tyres in both 2.1" and wide-boy 2.35" sizes.

Rain, rain, go away...

2011-01-27T14:40:00.004Z

It's still winter (at least it certainly feels it today), and spring with all it's lovely rain is just around the corner. Chances are if you step out to go riding it's going to be raining, so it may be worth spending £10 on one of these bad-boys. Some more detailed photos on site, and a range of sizes from XXXS to XL, so get to it. As usual whenever Gav is modelling things get a little... er... 'fruity', so here are some alternative angles we got.

Fresh orange juice available seperately.

Benito.

2011-01-27T12:40:00.001Z

This is why he keeps winning things, and also why he's one of the best riders in the world. No-one comes close.

That's from Little Limelight 3 in case any of you are wondering!
