I'm so torn right now, I want to buy another type of bike off of a friend. But I also want a new Sunday! frame, but the 2007's dont come in 20" anymore.

I could get an older one, but I would rather get the other bike before the old frame. Ontop of all this, I still need cranks...


**** decisions.

That thing is an atrocity. Don't even begin to compare that to a road bike, please.

I owned one a few years back, they handle really nice actually.

I dont care about looks that much at all when it comes to this.

It doesn't even look like it has a stem. That thing is nasty. Buy my general lee frame. Problem solved.

That is sa far from the truth, I dont even know where to begin.

Most 26" trials bikes run with a disc front, hs-33 rear. This is 20", a disc is dumb on a wheel this small.

If you like trials enough then get it off the guy.

Now, if you want a shorter TT Sunday. Call Sunday and tell them what you need. A guy at Vans was on a 20.25 Sunday with 13.5cs's. They hooked him up. It never hurts to ask.

I wasnt aware they did that. How much extra do you think it would run? Because 20.1 toptube with 13" chainstays would rule.

The bike is currently residing in my garage, i'm checking a few things out on it and so far it looks good.

EDIT: the trials is $350.

I'm not sure, but $350 is a bit expensive. But im not sure how much they sell for also, how much does it weigh?

weighs 17lbs.

It was almost a grand new back when they were made. And for me, $350 isnt all that much. Hell, my BMX cost over two grand Canadian.

350? get that bit if you'll use it...I've been looking for a cheap way to get into trials recently, and I've kinda abandoned my 24/cruiser project to save up for a planet-x jack flash just so I don't end up buying a bmx and a trials in the future.

Ya, it's such an expensive sport to get into, thats why I think i'm going to grab it.

And if I snap the frame like my old one I'll pick up a Koxx cheap or something.

The only steel on it is the axels, and they're hollow (Except for things like the chain and stuff).

Even the harware is aluminum.

Call them up, the guy at the park said thats how he got his. My guess is it is like Standard and around 40-75$.
