Some really nice work has gone into it.

Haven't had a chance to read all of it but that's a really well documented & interesting read so far. I do love stuff like this.

I find trials bikes incredibly hard to ride, would still love a cheapy just to play around on. I miss spending afternoons in Ashford woods with the dirtbikes!

Perhaps next year

A lot of reading and a lot of obsessiveness too!

Good bike with lovely detail to all the parts. I actually remember the Beta Zero at the start of the 90's coming out, and being ridden by pro rider's along with other now rare semi modern bikes like the Aprilia Climber, and Fantic Section.

These were exciting times in trial's for both the technology, USD front ends, fully alloy frames etc. But also for the very bright 90's colour schemes too!

Back then I was riding a TY175 in schoolboy trials, and I did have a few rides with a bright orange Fantic 305 which was like from another world!

My fave trick Trial's bike of modern times though has to be the Montessa/Honda Cota 315R, a true HRC bike and very trick with the rainbow colour treated fork tubes!

This guy should be canonised as the patron saint of trials bike restoration. He's worked enough miracles there.
