  • I have a very very small bit of inheritance. So far managed not to blow it on fixed gear bicycles.

    Trying and failing to find a suitable and local (within 100 mile round trip from Swindon) trials or enduro.

    Relatively specific, should be an older twin/mono trials suitable for green lanes as well as trials. Or, an older enduro that was basically a trials bike with a bigger tank.

    Can't find any Suzuki Beamish or Yamaha TY, or Honda TL/TLM nearby. Can't find anything else similar.

    There was a Suzuki TS125r not too far away, but that's just a pokey baby 2T, and probably not a big enough engine to satisfy me... considering I already own the heavy DR350, and a 2016 Sherco ST300.

    Not sure what my options are closer to crossers, and I don't think they'd suit me. I want to climb narrow rutted hills, not bomb along dunes.

    I want to do that with something with a bigger fuel capacity than my ST300... but I guess I could just look at a second similar ST, and fork out for a long range tank. Boo.

  • Been thinking about this one but don't know enough about this segment of the market to advise. My initial reaction was to say a 2 stroke enduro bike but not sure that's quite right or too similar to what you have already.

  • Yea I’ve come full circle, that cost/risk/availability with a vintage twinshock/mono, I could buy a second modern trials and lots of fuel
