Hi all. Has anyone heard any whispers of a trials Matchless for sale at all? I trawl the net every evening but nothing ever surfaces. I built one about 30 years ago and wish I still had it but that`s life. Any news gratefully received. Hazel

I have been riding and restoring trials bike for the past 25 years. The riding has never been very serious...some sand...some drop-offs...some small ledges to climb up...some rocks, etc...Not climbing up freezing streams or anything like that...all older and smaller bikes...TLR 200, TY 175...etc... nothing modern.

Hi all, this is my early Dalesman. My best Google image searching has not found another with the same standard forks and the rear brake/peg arrangement that mine has. Is it just a really early one? Can anyone recommend any upgrades? Front forks are very stiff with little travel, which probably isn't ideal. Don't want to do anything to loose its charm, but could do with it being a bit less hard work.

Hi all. I would like to know if is possible to repair this piston. The central window port is a mistake, and I need to close it. How could I save this piston? Welding? Glueing with metal adhesive? Any other idea? Thanks in avance.

OK, I have been away for a month, missed both the biggest trials of the year, pre65 and the 6 days but now I want to catch up and I can't find anything on the pre65 2 day, is it a secret or something ? Searched this site and the general Internet and nothing, is it because I am using an I-pad ? If it is then that's ridiculous. Help please
