October 6, 201114 yr I used configure as a heading rather than "design". If you could configure a trials bike that afforded you the ability to raid the parts bins of any current trials bike manufacturer what would this "Parts Bin Raided" configured trials bike look like? An example would be, The engine out of a 2100 Beta Evo, The 2011 GAS GAS PRO frame, The 4RT shocks, etc, get the picture"? And what would we call it? Basically: What engine configuration: i.e. 2T or 4T What size cc: What engine: What frame: What dia of forks: What forks: What forks: Upside down or conventional: What Rear Shock: What plastic: What wheels: What (factory) colour: What factory graphics: What clutch: What brakes: Should be an interesting configuration!

October 6, 201114 yr I've often wondered the same thing for trail bikes. If money was no object, what would the ultimate road legal 'off road' bike be like? If only money was no object
October 6, 201114 yr As I already own the perfect configuration of trials bike I'm afraid I need to abuse this thread...my apologies in advance Basically: What engine: Briggs and Stratton What frame: Zimmer What forks: Garden What Rear Shock: 240 volts What plastic: Tupperware What wheels: Castor What (factory) colour: Grey or brown (most factories are grey or brown?) What factory graphics: To Let What clutch: Massey Ferguson What brakes: Tea breaks, smoke breaks and NAAFI breaks are my favourites Should be an interesting configuration! Indeed GJ
October 6, 201114 yr As Mr Bou hasn't phoned me yet and as an Engineer and O40's rider would suggest the following What size cc: 200 or 250 What engine: EFI definitely, reverse cylinder seems good idea. 2t lightest, 4T more fun!! What frame: Steel as per latest GasGas - inherent strength in the design What dia of forks: see below What forks: 4rt Showa What forks: Upside down or conventional: see above What Rear Shock: 4rt Showa or Ohlins from what I have read What plastic: 4rt RTL Burgundy metallic circa 2006 What wheels: 4rt/DID What (factory) colour: 4rt Burgundy as above or Repsol What factory graphics: as above in Fuji style with flat alloy tank What clutch: not 4rt What brakes: Nissin oversize front, wavey disc. Rear seems AJP std but wavey/slotted disc

October 7, 201114 yr Enough Said ... Bring these back out and even the playing feild !!! Nice bike still! It just struck me just how good that bike could bee as an all rounder trail/trials bike with possibly a slightly larger tank and seat and a bit here and there(real brakes). Pye seems to get around the SSDT quite well onit! I would have to do that kinda stuff as I cannot afford too much titanium!
October 7, 201114 yr Trust Me , the old girls drums are as real as they get ... Still not disc , But they function better than designed ... And you can put the stock tank back on and gain about 1/2 a litre more fuel . Glenn (now just some Maxton suspension bits ... And all will be grand )
