  1. Well, I finally got my new custom mod trials bike from Ted Wojcik. Took 9
    months to complete. Ted and I worked on the geometry together and the bike
    fits me like a glove. Its made of airplane grade steel, light as a feather,
    hand built wheels, I collected all the best components I could get my hands
    on (trials parts are often hard to come by) and voila! I rode it last night
    for a little bit and I could feel how easy it was to handle. Now its time to
    start working on the skilletz again...

    Some pics of the bike:

    I was wondering about that. The rear looked a tiny bit smaller, but I
    attributed that to an optical illusion . . makes me want to get out on
    my 20"er. I need a front brake on there for anything fun.

    Enjoy!

    Interesting part in the bottom, I guess to protect your chainring?
    Does Ted have a brother from Mass? I have a friend with the
    same last (I thought uncommon) last name.

    Yes, that is a commonly used method of protecting the chainring, freewheel
    and bb on a mod trials bike. You can also use it to help "climb" up
    technical sections on a course.

    I don't know if Ted has a brother or not...

    Some questions:
    Are my eyes fooling me, or does that crankset freewheel as well? Is the
    gearing around 1:1? How thick's the bashplate?

    Are those HS33s on the rear? Those ZuZus crack very easily if you bin it
    doing trials stuff, BTW...

    No seat would get you ticketed/arrested in Gainesville... gotta love cops
    with nothing to do.

    I ride stock... mod would be really weird for me because I'm used to the
    pedalkick on 26" wheels... it's like I pass the balance point way too quick
    on 20" bikes and the bike just shoots out ahead of me.

    Nice rig!

    Yes, Echo front freewheel crankset with White Industries ENO freewheel. Rear
    has a TNT Revolver fixed hub with a Dura Ace fixed cog. Ratio is 18T on the
    front and 12T on the rear. Bashplate is cnc'd from a block of aluminium, not
    too thick about 1cm to 1-1/2cm (varies at different points on the plate).

    Yes, HS33's on the rear, 2005 version. Can't use a disc brake on the rear,
    there is a possibility of ripping the rear triangle off the bike when doing
    a power move with your rear wheel. HS33's are VERY strong. I've have been
    using this pair of Zu Zu's for about 6-7 yrs now with zero problems. I have
    used it on my bmx (that was a different lifetime ago...), on my DH bike
    (another different lifetime ago...) and on my previous trials bike. Not one
    single problem.

    I have the same problem, but with 26" wheels. I guess its because I am a
    smaller person, its easier for me to ride a mod.
