bergerhag Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Hey all. Got me a trials bike again after riding solely enduros for the last eight years. I started in trials in 2000, on an ol Montesa Cota 242 '84, and quickly got me a Gasgas GT 32 '91. (That was at the age of 30+ ) Rode it for a few years, then decided to go Big bike, so I got rid of the trials bike in favour of a Honda NX650 Domainator. That was the wrong bike for me. I rode it nice and shiny for a week, then wrestled it down a narrow trail, and fell over on some rocks and roots into a deep puddle of water, plastics were flying in all directions.. Went huntin for enduro bikes instead. Finally settled for a 4stroke Gasgas, and rode it hard over a few years, and last year I got a new bike, another gasser, a 2-stroke 300. Lovely bike. Anyway, the 450 was sittin all lonely in the shed, so i decided to let it go. Now, with money in my pocket and an empty space in the shed, plans for a trials bike was born. Mind you, used bikes in the 1500 euro range are scarse in Sweden, and if they ever show up for sale, they are gone in a day or two.(At least the good ones) Anyway I found a 2000 Gasgas TXT280 not too far away from home, and it was looking reasonably good. So deal was done. I knew it had some issues, like a blown water pump seal and linkage bearings was shot, but I do my own wrenching so it should be ok. Looking forward to take part in this here community. //Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
