Hi Gordo, yeah lots of thought..All those years of wondering why builders didn't do it this way or that, and an oppertunity to put my money where my mouth is. 

The pressure mounts as you get one bit right, to not stuff up the next bit. Makes you think lots and ponder the options before building.

You certainly learn heaps.There are some very clued up guys here at trials central that have been great fun talking to about different aspects.

I don't have as much spare time as when I started but I'm still making progress (just), and yes I will post results good and bad.

I spend a bit of time balancing on it as it has a nice stable feel and is easy to balance on. Can't wait to see how it works dynamically.

I suspect it will be finished for new years events, only because of time constraints.

Cheers

LOVING my new ride!!!  Got the chance to take it out this weekend after working on lightening the clutch and a host of other small items.  Today, I made a front plate and looking forward to some fun riding this season.  Even got a comment from a modern trials rider, "This bike is surprising!  Really feels like a modern bike!!!"  New pegs help and I still am smiling all the way...!

My new Beta TR 240

The standard bike felt kind of strange. Very short and very high front end, so i lengthened the swing arm by ca. 40mm and shortened the forks by 15mm. Then i also moved the fork up in the yokes about 10mm. Footrests have been moved back and down.

Now it is a really nice bike to ride and very competitive. Not missing my Fantic 240 at all!
