lineaway Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 That looks better than the 26 inch Oset that almost killed me two years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I would buy a motorised shopping trolley if it improved my riding, I need all the help I can get. Lovely job though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breagh Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks like every bike you see in the pre 65 Scottish except this ones been starved! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collyolly Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I think it is what is needed to get youngsters into the sport, a chap in the U.K. I think called John Bliss made a similar bike based on a pit bike engine and it looks super. This appears to use bicycle wheels so how big is it ? Would it be a starter bike for a 12 year old ? Perhaps someone needs to start putting kits together to enable budget bikes to enter the game. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleanorbust Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I don't think there's an inference that this is a low budget option. Mountain bikes and bits can cost more than a trials bike, and that's without factoring in the cost of an engine. Also, however good the rest of the plot may be, riding sections on mtb tyres would be the biggest self-imposed disadvantage I could think of in a bike. Neat job though.

guys Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 I'm sorry but I can't find anything futuristic on it. Not even as a concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Give it to Peter Gaunt, he would make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_earle Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 Looks like a fun toy, I wouldn't mind having a play on it. Not a serious competition bike and will never get close to a Beta or GG 80 for the kids. Obviously. I admire the workmanship though, Fair play to whoever built it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
