Thylacine X-Trials

Want a trials frame unlike anything else out there? Want something that sports a competition geometry, but is still strong enough to handle the abuse of urban riding?

What's so great about this frame? When asked this question on biketrials.com, here is what Warwick Gresswell, the frame designer, had to say:

"Actually, its not painted. Its a surface finish called N-Coat which is a super tough industrial coating thats as hard as steel - just think of it like an M&M - softer Alumnium with a harder shell. =) Hehe, I love that analogy. It makes the frame stronger and virtually scratch proof - kicks anodisings ass and looks a million bucks compaired to crappy cheap powdercoat.

"Now as for other things that make my frames 'special'..... In terms of what you can see, my frames are trials frames designed from the ground up. All the tubing and CNC work is designed specifically. I dont order any of these parts from a taiwanese bike building catalog - I make them myself right here.

"Secondly, my stock frames are tougher than your traditional frames, yet sport competition geometry, and in custom form can be configured any way you like. Super short and light, with a double butted Easton front end? No problem. Street tough and designed arround a suspension fork? I can do that too. Easton RAD downtube? Sure thing.

"As for what you cant see (well, you can really see it, its just not obvious), I have only one word. Quality. Quality from Aircraft accredited welders. Three alignment stages. High cost tooling and jigging. Straight frames built to realistic tolerances. Small production runs and personal service.

"Sure, theres no denying I'm one of the new guys. I've been in the bike biz for near on 10 years and doing the Thylacines for 2. I'm here to up the ante by producing individual bikes for people who know what they want and who want to take trials to the next level, not just keep it as peoples budget third bike. Superb quality and personal sevice is where I'm at, so if thats what you're into, come along for the ride."
