Classic Trials

Hi Everyone, My Son Scott and Myself are restoring a 77 OSSA 350 Trials bike, to record the Project we have put together a small Web site, ( OSSA-restoration.piczo.com ). We will be posting Info and pictures of the progress, please feel free to have a look, This is our first Restoration Project so anyone with tips, advice or contacts feel free to comment. Cheers, Vaughan & Scott Thompson, Durham, UK.

Has anyone done any long distance trials such as the Moor to Sea and the Ilkley Trial? I fancy a go at something a bit different. If so what sort of bike would be suitable? A pre 65,a twinshock or even a modern enduro type bike? What sort of bikes are popular in these events and are the trials any good? Any thoughts/comments welcomed.

While looking around I came across this Classic dirt bike Nice Bultaco and Mick Andrews so must be worth a look, 2 new YOU HAVE USED WORDS OR A PHRASE WHICH ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THIS WEBSITE.

Hi There, Can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of Spokes for the rear wheel of my 1978 TR 350 OSSA, I live in the north East of England. Cheers, Vaughan.

Group, Can someone post (or email me) a picture of connecting the rear brake (pedal). Just looking to see how it can be done on a Bantam. Thanks Alan

Hi guys and galls, I've just been reading an old post about the classic Jack Wood 'River Kwai' section and all the stories that went with it and it got me thinking back about other classic sections from days gone bye, like 'Tremorithic' in the 'Wye Valley Traders' it was a cracking section in a fantasic trial (one of the best IMHO). If you didnt get up the step you had to be hauled up by two or three blokes using a rope and grappling hook, it made 'Witches Burn' look like a main road. It was 3rd gear from a standing start and slippery as hell, if you did manage to get up the step I think there were 3 more sections waiting for you straight after. Happy days

Quite frankly I find me old TL-250 to be one the most fun Trials bikes I have ever ridden. I think back that I had more fun in No Stop Twinshock than the modern stuff. Cheaper too! Don't forget to state your reasons why!

Just a quick thanks for a great trial today,although i ride a modern mono,i find the sections perfect for my level [average]. I know some do,nt like moderns riding a classic trial,but hey would it be viable without them?Cheers

Thanks Andy, for giving us somewhere to yarn about the classic side of trials. Cheers
