have been looking at retrobikes e.t.c at the old classics.have always wondered what they were like to ride (i remember that a trials rider from late 80's/early 90's rode one in m.b.u.k) . here's a link to retrobike and pic for anyone who doesn't know the bike (a really nice example) http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=83657 .cheers 🙂
yep..I know it, rode one from `90 to ´94....
for the time back then ! it was fantastic...but not especially for the trials...
geo was something like 70/70, heavy tubing, 0 degrees, 130mm "frank the welder stem", onza porcupines....bullseye components (which were a nightmare..)
for trials look for the very rare "yeti treefrog" ...a special trials frame for 24 wheels....
wrong...the treefrog has 20# wheels of course..

A mate had one and I gave it a spin. Very stiff, not for me.
Looked cool though, best head tube badge/logo ever.
