Re: 'Trialsduro' concept build
Looking good. It's got something of the Huskie Vitpilen about it. Ground clearance looks good. I take one look at those electrics and shudder - I'm gradually re-wiring my Beta and it's a horrible job. Some people find electrics easy and logical; for me they are a dark art.
What are your plans for the finish. Will it be shiny and painted? Or mad-max red-neck?

Re: 'Trialsduro' concept build
Nice bits of old school logic there--bashplate is part of the frame, and the rear shocks put their load into the main loop--no real subframe required(ref BM back in the early 80s etc). Will it be registered?--I guess an MOT is all that is required to submit to the DVLA?
