I saw some guys up in Central Park a weekend or two ago and they were effin' sic! I'd love to do trials, but I can only have so many bikes (My apt is SMALL).

I'll post some pics when I get em developed.

I've been learning trials stuff on my 21" Trek 7000 frame....it's too big for me normally, let alone for trials...but it works. I agree...just get a smaller frame and you'd be good to go for straters...

[monkeyboy424]

my trek is not that big with the seat all the way down. i personally think that this bike will do fine, until it breaks! lol
ya ill use it becaus i cant aford a new frame at this point and time so ok.

I would recommend that you run a longer stem with more rise. It will make it easier to get up on the rear wheel, and to do pedal up style moves.
Atleast that is my opinion.

[monkeyboy424]

i will try to get that stuff, but the stem and bar i have are th stock bars off my kona, so ill have to save up some more cash for extra parts...
:D :cool: :)

What is the optimal stem length? I am using a 100 mil thomson on my hardtail, but it gets used for dirt jumping, trials, street and trail riding, so i don't want to go super long or super short. Is there a dif. length I can use that will help things or should I stick with this?

[monkeyboy424]

$69.95, and they have small sizes. Seems like a good deal for a starting-out frame...
