Giant Trials Team Retro Build

- Today's video is building up a bike I've wanted since I first started riding trials and saw Martin Hawyes and his Giant Trials Team, nearly 20 years later I finally get to build one up myself! Will it live up to the image or will I be disappointed?
HUGE thanks to Mike Freeman for sending the frame and parts up, you've made me very happy!
I hope you enjoy this build video, no music but a bit of nonsense, let me know :)

San pilgrim's bike magic is flowing through your veins
Martyn Ashton Cannondale next?
It'd be sick to see a beast of the east again!

Question is what one the red or the blue
I'm not sure Hambini would approve of that headset fitting technique 😅
this caption style format was brilliant and engaging. loved it. the cat bit was truly funny.
I'm guessing an old Ryan Leech Norco Moment is next! Steel is real!
Can we crowdsource a lengthy disclaimer from the YT resident lawyers so that the cat can show us how to make brake pads?
Thank you for the great video and for the written instructions that help people with some difficult to understand spoken English (like me). Greetings from Italy !!
Never happier to see Scottish rain. Great build👍
Looks awesome Ali, an Ashton would be pretty cool next!
I love the parts being thrown into place. That's an incredible skill to master! :D
Who needs a pedal wrench?
That frame is drop dead gorgeous.
Has to be a Cannondale Ashton or Diamondback Effect 24" next to go with the Hawyes. A Pashley Ed Tongue 24" would be cool too or Orange Zero Petr Kraus. Seeing this makes me want to relive my youth and watch Dirty Tricks and Cunning Stunts and Chainspotting! The Norco Leech was one of my favorite bikes ever, it started my love for steel frames. A Pashley 26mhz would be nice too or a Curtis T1 or T24! Covering all basis haha
When I was a teenager I bought mbuk magazine. 1 issue had Martyn Ashton and martin hawyes on the cover. They were in Malta trials at popeye village. 1 on Volvo 1 on giant. it was that day I tried to turn my Raleigh activator into a trials bike lol. I loved that giant.
This is like a combo of my mechanics and Sam Pilgrim! Loved it!
Now that my friend is a trials bike (Chain spotting gang).. All that you need now is the Volvo Canndale frame to complete the set..
I don't know why but I found this video really cool and absolutely hilarious
Ali your sense of humour is top notch! Love this video, really relaxing and made me chuckle countless times.
Love the still of recording. Maybe some 20" next? My bmx heart would like to see more 20 inches 😉
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen.
That cat should have its own channel!
The next frame should obviously be a red Cannondale like the one Martyn Ashton road in Dirty Tricks ans Cunning Stunts. A pure classic this movie !!!
"Grinding rims with Adam from Tartybikes" 😂😂😂
those clear brakepads though 😍 you gotta add some leds lol
mike was so kind to donate those parts.. i know you are a kind person as well .. donate that bike to me...
Looks good. Hawyes was a beast, loved watching him ride.
That is beautiful!!
the pedal mounting beats every sam pilgrim magic trick :D:D:D
Nice.. I used to have a thing for the Martyn Ashton blue / yellow Cannondale frame also.
5:43 That's what you get when you steal cat's cardboard box
So relaxing! Been loving watching the restoring videos recently, restoring old ww2 torches and the like. A retro bike version is just what I needed! Makes me want to build my pashley back up
It’s really great 👍 to see another classic bike back in action, very cool 😎 indeed.
Being a musician i found your handlebar test very convincing. Have a seal if approval for that one. LMAO
That’s awesome, I miss my riding days, I had two giant team trails, this colour and the blue and silver one... good times
Great video again with a light touch of humour. Perfect
I remember this bike from the movie Biking. Me and my brother used to watch it on VHS all the time. He went on to become pro and I gave up eventually, Just dabbling in trials from time to time lol
thats one chilled out moggy
Looks class i can't wait to see you out on this.
Odi longnecks are the best non clamp on grips hands down! Wore through countless sets in my bmx days.
Can't wait to see how it rides. Great watching these build videos ali 👍
Great stuff looking forward to it.
Wow,silence is golden! I like the video
Looks like you learned that headset install and tire install from Sam Pilgrim haha! Love it!! Neat bike! Can't wait to see you ride it!
Dude looks ballin bro awesome job Ali let's see the ride....really cool man!! ENJOY!!!!
Super informative video, thanks!
Seeing you build that makes me want to get my old giant team trials frame back out and build it back up to ride
Great build video!!!
Oh man I so wanted a Giant Team Frame back in the day !! Sick build mate 👌 and a fantastically edited video 👍
Im guessing either a Cannondale or an Ashton for Martyn? Love these parts bin builds! Keep it up Ali. 👍
What a video. Was really different not having some sort of naration. Really enjoyed the captions though. Can't wait to see whats next.
great video. the bike looked amazing and all parts as was random but still looked ace!
when I get my house I'll be on the hunt again for this frame.
Great build!
What a nice frame, and build :)
Nice video Ali. You're going to do awesome things with that bike. I hope you have alot of fun!
I loved the style and editing. Don't give up on talking videos but it was just what I needed today and might be a once a month thing you could do! The cat bit was genius, that cat was so chill too.
Awesome build Ali!
My very first dedicated trials bike was built on a 14" cross country version of this exact frame. Looked identical except for round downtubes. Unfortunately the triple butted frame snapped a year or so later, but this brought back some memories for sure. Looks great Ali!
You went all out with tips, tricks and jokes on this edit! Really enjoyable video all in all!
Nice to see some DIY engineering to solve small problems on bikes. Gives me ideas how to remedy some of my own in the future. :)
You need a beast of the east to go with it now 👍
Looks good! Waiting for a riding video).
Great video Ali
Thats pretty dope.
Hands down one of the best looking trials frames of all time! I want to say the next one will be a Norco for Ryan Leech, but I don't know how rare those are in the UK, so maybe a Monty for Ot Pi??
Cannondale team Volvo in blue. can't beat it, in my view at least
@@judechandler5102 Yeah, that would be more likely for the UK
Jude Chandler 100% agree. Although Akrigs Pace was drool worthy
@@BurningChariot just had a look, not heard of it before. That thing is epic. you're right!
@@Ali_Clarkson Yeah, but then it starts to look more like a "specialty bike" and less relatable
‘Old conti race king’ pulls out brand new tyre
Wanted one of those back in the day . The next should be a red and yellow cannondale or the blue and yellow one that came later .
Ali Clarkson I knew someone that was given one of his red ones by him back in the day . It was sooo nice to get to ride it once .
Clever video and cool bike
What a classic. Really tight geo. I got a Pashley 26Mhz frame in the garage
Ali Clarkson not sure my body can take it anymore. I do keep looking on eBay for something cheap
I enjoy watching this video very⁴ much ❤
cool video, getting creative with the cat
Looks great man!!!
Like the weight check. .light!
That's a gooooooood looooking bike! 😍
No joke, it doesn't look dated at all I'd take it right now (MTB does not have that same appeal, retro bikes are cool but not in that I want one I'm not even nostalgic for).
Man this is awesome, still the best looking trials frame ever IMO, cant wait to see how Hawziee's turns out too, even though #Itsnotafuckingcomeback it would be amazing if you could get him out for a spin with both of them! Cannondale next then?
the video is so satisfying .....
totally silent only bike parts noise....
i was little bit upset but after watching this video now i am in a happy mood...
thanks sir
#lovefromINDIA..

#loveyourvidoes.....
just waitng for the riding video on this BIKE
Man... Ali this bike reminds me when I looked up to the martins in the 90s! Loved this bike build!! I had a specialised s-works! Like Jason McRoy had, along with cannondale p-bones polished forks. Race line brakes too! But I always wanted this gaint trials bike! Hope you have a good one on it!!!!
This is one of the first bikes that drew me into riding, i'd be pretty stoked to! (maybe a little more stoked for an Ashton Cannondale)
I have one of these! Thinking about a full strip and fresh powder coat too!
A bit like asmr haha
Cool build video 👌🔥
Greetings from the Philippines
Great build video! Always learn so much. Very creative touches in this one too. Keep your eye on that cat! Monty in your future?
Sweet baby jesus, I can't look at you going ham on the headset with the block of wood...
@@Ali_Clarkson I look forward to your forthcoming video on how to coke can shim a flared headtube :)
Very cute bike! ^_^
Oh, for those of us who remember the Martin's, we're showing our age. Loved this frame. Would be good to rebuild an old Pashley 26mhz. I got rid of mine and with I hadn't!!!
ohh this looks nice :)
BOX is an excellent component! I run BOX two Cassette, chain, Rear derailleur and shifter on my 29er.
@@Ali_Clarkson Get to it M8! Its awesome. The derailleurs have a built in clutch no need for chain tensioner.
Wow. That is a beaut. I saw one in action in Stellenbosch (South Africa) back in 1997. Can't recal the Team Giant rider's name, but he performed with Hans Ray and Martin Ashton at the Downhill World cup.
Hey Ali Clarkson! Great build vid! You always keep coming up with ideas to make it a bit different like this one with no dialogue! Could you use that crown race you cut upside down as a tool to hit with a punch on alternate sides to seat an unsplit race? Thanks for the effort all the editing takes! Your vids always make my day a bit better! Ride ride ride!
Best way to seat an unsplit race is to get a block of wood and drill a hole slightly bigger then the steerer in the block of wood, slide it onto the crown race and hit it with a hammer. Using another crown race runs the risk of denting or chipping the one you're fitting, which would make it useless as a smooth surface for bearings to run on.
@@Ali_Clarkson Works fine when you've got cartridge bearings, so the rolling elements in the bearing don't contact the crown race directly. I'm quite surprised that headset didn't come with a split crown from the factory to be honest. For loose ball bearings style headsets, the crown race is the surface the balls roll on, so it can't be slotted.
Would be awesome if you had an Ashton Cannondale frame, with fatty r's in the same blue colour, with a set of hs33 racelines, on to mavic d521's with the grey ceramic coating. I've got a set of square taper middleburn rs7's with the pro titanium bash guard and built in sprocket (16t I believe?).
This video was great, loved the silence with captions, great idea to aid with the viewing pleasure. Haven't seen one of these for a while.
Awesome mate, cheers
Next up, Cannondale Beast of the East!
would of liked it more if you'd fitted every bit with the wooden fine adjustment tool
You should get the cracked frame welded and turn it into a cruiser bike to go get groceries and stuff.
GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINAA!!

@@Ali_Clarkson 😊
Your builds are mint,I would love to see an old aluminium megamo,or a 20” retro build would be the dogs!!!💪🏼👍🏻👌
Yes that’s the problem,I had a ‘pro’ aluminium but I sold it 10 years ago and I’ve regretted it ever since!!!😩
Seen you going through a rammed kelvingrove yesterday, the bike looks mint 👍
I just love your Videos you allways come up with new ideas, Even though you do the ,,same thing" its never the same! i Like it! Nice way to test the bars if their still good!! I know you probably hear this allot but its true😂😂
Asmr for bikenerds. Well.... 👌
I was sold on the thumbnail. I managed to ride one of those at the Bike Show I think it was 99 or 00 at Birmingham. Good times.
It looks awesome! I assume we'll get a video of you riding it at some point? If so I look forward to that.
6:29 amazing magic of TH-cam !!
Been watching a bit too much 'This Old Tony'? Great video :-). Definitely need to build a red or blue Cannondale, extra points for getting one with a one of the headshoks with mechanical lockout.
@@Ali_Clarkson TOT rides moto trials too - it's interesting how many engineering channels also like 2 wheeled transport, Canada's premier silly engineering channel, AvE, also rides mountain bikes. He lives in Kanuckistan though, so he'd be crazy not to.
hey I had the same maxis highroller when I was a kid
That bar test🙈🤪
