That bike was something special, I truly never thought I’d see one again. Pumped to have it back…but also curious to see if I can ride it like I used to!
That is awesome! Glad you were able to get ahold of this one. I often regret the selling of my older bikes. Still miss the 99 Norco Team Trials bike I had even more than the planet X zebdis I had.
Honestly I’m not sure…I think I got a new bike sponsor and didn’t have a space for an extra bike in my apartment. Glad to have it back, though! Carbon wheels…maybe that Ti crankset…big question is what fork to use…
I know that this is nothing new - but it is still a mystery for me. What are the nuts that you using on rear hub? Is it dedicated hub or maybe inner spindle? Any recommendations? I am on old Halo wheels with old QR and open drop outs and man this thing is weak!
I'm honestly not sure? It came this way, I think it may be some sort of thru-axle setup that works with quick release dropouts. I wish I could be more help on this!
@@SuperRiderTV Hahaha Ali Clarkson said the same thing. Looks like no one knows how to get it. Or is it just trials mistery not shared with ppl that have no idea how to jump on back wheel 😉
Amazing that it's basically the hex before the hex was a thing, no wonder you love the hex so much. I'm also super impressed at using ET's to change gears, I'm definitely going to practice that move, it's so obvious but also not.
UCI required it bitd. Those people were dimwits that had to keep everything bikes under their thumb. Beyond that, those bikes were awesome for their utility and ability to play on street or dirt. Way to go in finding one again!
Lots of silly rules in that era, but you're right - the bikes were awesome! So stoked to have one again...surprising how close it is to the Hex for geometry. No wonder I love that bike!
Enjoy! Glad to see it in good hands 🤘🤘 stoked you have so much history with it. Looking forward to seeing your component choices
Thanks again!! Pumped on this, thanks for sending it my way! :)
Fun to see you so happy about a new/old bike. And of course the bars had to get swapped :)

@@SuperRiderTV The question, is it what you remember it being?
My name is Iolo so I’ve obviously got to like the Capriolo. Those are truly beautiful welds.
Yes!! Frank The Welder is incredible!
Aww man that brings back memories! You must be sooooooooo stoked to have one again!
So stoked! I saw it pop up online for sale and it was an instant buy! haha
Love it Aaron. Great to see you back with something so meaningful to you!
Thanks Chris!! I’m going to see JJ in a few weeks, he used to ride one, too! Definitely going to bring this one along - some two-wheeled nostalgia!
That is awesome! Glad you were able to get ahold of this one. I often regret the selling of my older bikes. Still miss the 99 Norco Team Trials bike I had even more than the planet X zebdis I had.
You’re still riding that Norco in all my memories! 🙌
@@SuperRiderTV Driving to Arkansas listening to Reggie and the Full Effect in the Lutze van!
What a great find. Nice bike. I hope it brings you years of fun and happiness.
Thanks Martin! Pumped on this acquisition, to say the least! :)
I've always wondered about Ti trials bikes, awesome to see one, nice video!
Thanks!! I loved this bike when I rode it the first time, big fan of titanium for trials…would be interested to try a Ti comp bike at some point!
Great retro build!
I still have my old steel Megamo Expert 26
That’s a legendary bike - I remember riding that! Had the Megamo bar/stem on quite a few bikes, too!
Such a great frame! Interesting to see the similarities with the Hex.
Agreed! I definitely want to make a few tweaks to the components, but the frame is perfect!
really a nicee bike great jobb !! i got a arcade pro now days, your videos are great content !
Thanks so much! Stoked that you like the videos!
This was fun to watch
So stoked to have this bike back! :)
What were you thinking when you parted with that bike? I'd put some carbon rims and mt-7's on it and keep the DJ saddle.

@@SuperRiderTV If you are going w/ titanium cranks, the next logical step is a custom titanium fork :)

ETs to change gears is an awesome flex at the trailhead, too! :)

Matty P suggests bike swapping, so I volunteer to ride this bike next time I’m in Oregon. 😉👍🏼
Deal! Ready when you are! :)
Wasn't this the one that was for sale in Bend for awhile?
This one came from Bellingham…maybe he got it from the person selling it in Bend?
Yup that was me, sold it to Austin! Be interesting to know how many owners it had.
It is time for some good old Marzocchi made in Italy.
That’s what I wrote originally on this bike…would love to have that setup again!
Finding straight tube trials forks still is easy
I had my eye on the Inspired Flow...any others that you would recommend?
@@SuperRiderTV carbon or steel? Inspired probably for steel but I’d got hashtagg for carbon
@@SuperRiderTV I’m resto modding a norco evolve circa 2002 myself that I traded for an old fishing rod
I'm born in 1984, i can't wheely and stoppies with disc brakes
Born in 1980 here...I learned it with V-Brakes, but it's a bit easier with disc brakes, I think!
