just wondering if I can make the same bike cover two roles (with certain mods of course such as tank and seating for road) just wondered whether it was feasible or too much of a stretch. would like to do both but can only justify one bike to she who must be obeyed.
a friend used to take his out with me, it was road registered, and had an auxillary petrol tank on the front where the headlight would be on normal enduro, also a petrol can bungied to my bike on rear seat, it had a pad seat on back mudguard for a rest, made mincemeat of anything difficult, going up and down twice whilst you where still trying to get up once lol
yep, figured it would be fun once in the lanes but a pain in the 'harris' on the road bits getting to/from and in between. problem as always is that I want to do three different things with a bike designed for one! I can't justify a lane bike, a trials bike, occasional shortdistance commuter and a hillclimb bike! no matter which bike I choose it's always going to be a compromise.
I had a road legal Montesa 4RT which i did do one run lead. Points to note: Fuel range poor, no seat unless you can get one of these below, wear on front sprocket is poor due to the small number of teeth. Most modern trials bikes have good gearing 3 low and 2 high so its ok for the road and lanes.
