New rider!

The newest addition to the TartyBikes Team, James Hyland, is now up on the website. James has been well known throughout the trials scene for years, and with his degree finishing in May James will have even more time to focus on his riding.

Tech Levers are Tech.

As you'd expect, I suppose?

Anyway - if you have a Tech lever firstly "Congratulations!", and secondly we now have coloured replacement Lever Blades and Master Cylinder Lids (Or Reservoir Caps if you're like us...).





Plenty more products going up in the next few days too, so keep your eyes peeled!

Rims Galore!

Waiting for an Echo rim to come into stock?

Chances are, we've got it back in now! (Couldn't fit them all in the photo...)

New products.

If you take a trip over to our home page, you'll see we've now got all the 2011 Echo and ZOO! frames in stock. In addition to that, as part of the mammoth 'New frames on the website' task, we've got the new Kortz 2.5 and Slate 3 Frame Kit from Rockman. Linkity link.







Someone's also in the workshop right now building up a new frame from one of our latest shipments, but whoever could it be, and what wheel size could it be? Answers on a postcard...

2011 Rockman

Oops - forgot about this one from earlier today. Also got a load of new Rockman frames in, photos have been done so they just need editing and products adding to the site. I say 'just', it's a bit of a monster task...

Here they are waiting for their photoshoot.



I think Mark mentioned there'll be around 25 (!) new frames (including the 2011 Koxx Skys) going on the site in the next few days, so keep checking back!

2011 Echo and ZOO!

We received our latest Echo and ZOO! delivery late this afternoon. Within the boxes are the new 2011 frames, so we're gonna hang around a bit this evening to grab some photos.

If you would like to be emailed once all the photos and geometry are done, set up a stock notification on our site :)

Fun day, Parte Deux.

Happy New Year!

Today...

... will be fun.



Hope you all had a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

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!

Some bouncy Spaniards...

...and a few others too.



Also, while we're talking bouncy Spaniards - it'd be rude not to mention Benito.



Suffering from some pretty savage weather envy right now.

Ali C's Hex Video

To celebrate the Inspired Hex Frame and Inspired Team 26" Rims being available, Ali C and I put together this little promo video featuring him riding his production Hex build. Enjoy...

Mark's bike + video

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's Hex 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!

Cavalcade of win.

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!

Linky linky...

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!

Gav...

So...



Yeah...

V!Z delivery now in.

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!

Inpulse R26 frames now in stock

The new Inpulse R26 frames are now in stock, so if you fancy something a little different then there's another option on the market...

Danny MacAskill: Way Back Home

This is absolutely amazing. Danny MacAskill, Way Back Home.

Danny's DigDeep Video

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.

Friday's quote

Friday's quote of the day:

Danny MacAskill's Way Back Home!

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!

Relevant.

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).

Intriguing.

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.

New products news is new.

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.
