This appeared in my 'Twin Trailstars' thread a couple years ago. I sold my mint MK2 Trailstar frame a while ago, I still have my Mk1 Tank. I think I prefer my Rhythm to my Trailstar so I'm hoping this will be as much fun and almost as 'light' as the Rhythm. Shorter rear at 408mm than Trailstar, more relaxed 69 deg head, lighter at 6lb too, and bigger wheels than the Rhythm. And then Gears which neither TS or Rhythm has! Oh and it's better looking!
It was going to be a cheap 8 speed, parts bin 4x inspired bike to hit local woods with and the streets, but as usual after years of collating it's ended up with many posh new bits and ultimately is a bit too nice for the local scroats.
It's now 9 speed 35 x 11-32 with chain device. This won't be quite as restrictive as a 4x bike and more like a little trail bike. As usual it's still technically too small, so will be interesting now I have a bike that fits in the stable. I want it to be lightis but was shocked when i weighted a DMR Moto at 930g! So the street style folding Supermoto's may go on instead, suggestions welcome. I'm also trying to bleed brakes to go on it.
Here's the kit pics, it'll be built up as soon as I get time!
