i go through phases of wanting a newer type one
this kind of thing


i probably never will though... i do really like them though. if i owned a field i'd get one

Nice, looking for a similar period twin shock, myself as well as a very slow build of an Enfield 250 into trials trim.
Something from my youth Montesa, Ossa Bultaco, eyen a Yam, at the "right" price cof course

Love the old Cota's


They are still on my list of "must haves before death"

My local bike shop has a Yam TY and an old Bultaco in - a real contrast to the brand new Husqvarna's they have in there (they've recently taken on the dealer franchise) and a few KTM EXC's.

I've been doing some Green Laning recently (with Coose who used to be on here) and was chatting with a mate the other day about the prospect of using a trials bike for the job - would be really good on short journey's where the trails are fairly slow and not far from fuel stops
