Team Sarecen trials bike M.A.D content

[kyle888]

Hi
Here's my new trials bike i picked up off gumtree for the bargain price of £90! It'd hardly been ridden and just been kept in a shed. It had plastic cheapo pedals with no grip whatsoever and the rims still have the machining marks in them that's how little use it'd had!

The paintwork had some staining and chips from storage. I have given it a polish with 3m cutting polish and all the marks have gone bar the chips from storage that I'll touch up with paint from work.

The tires were perished so got some 2.3 continental vertical tires and new bigger tubes (dh for the rear).
It had a very clean set of magura hs33's on it which i sold and i put my xt v's on it with new cables and my old v brake levers that i painted at work. New grips and new pedals to finish it off.

enough rambling here's some pics

ps. I know the shifter is in the wrong place it was deliberate to keep it out of the way.

Looks like an 8 year olds bike

Seriously though, do you hop about over rocks steps and drops and stuff?
Have seen them doing it down the seafront.

Re:

Yeah that's what it's for you dont sit down while doing trials the frames are made very small so you can manoeuvre the bike around more.

The seats just there for saving you hitting your nuts or if you want a rest! Ha ha

You need to watch danny mckaskill long way home on you tube...

Re:

I need to shorten the chain by about a foot!! Also need a brake booster on the back as the seat stays bow under the pressure when squeezing the brake hard.

The red John Tomac edition HS 22 rim brakes.

Re:

It came with red hs33's with new style levers when i bought it but i sold them to pay for the bike. That was the condition of being able to buy another bike as we're looking to buy a new house!
