  1. Thanks for the replies. I havnt checked back in here for a while. In the meantime I found a cheap Onza SKA for £80 - in pretty good nick. I know it's probably not the best bike and the brakes are pretty mediocre. I will keep an eye out while I practice. My trackstands are fine, I'm now trying rear wheel hops (unsuccessfully at the moment) anyway, I'm enjoying it and it's a great way of working off a middle age paunch! on a completely different note, I took my children to Hastings today and visited Source BMX. For those of you that are interested, they have just relocated to the derelict ice rink building - look it up it is pretty impressive. Daviesdt - I'm in kent.
  2. Thanks for the reply. I quite fancy the Ashton - I'm not sure but I think it is an early red/white one. Seat is missing, I'm not really sure of the spec it has mag rear brake and front disc. That's about the depth of my knowledge of it at the moment. i guess I'm asking, is it worth a punt at that money? If I decide to sell on (when I get bored) will I get my money back? i have also been offered a onza T-bird with front and rear mags for £60.00
  3. Hi everyone, new to the forum (and sport) so thought I would start by introducing myself. At the grand old age of 42, I have never so much as given cycle trials a cursory look - I have been missing out!! I've had an interest in cycling all my life. Started off in the eighties with the first wave of BMX's then later onto mountain bikes (easier for my then paper round!) never done anything serious though. I then moved onto motorbikes - mainly moto X, grasstrack and then a bit of road racing. Have also had a couple of Gas Gas TxT 250 trials bikes to knock around on. My Daughter is now riding an Oset (doing quite well in this winter series) and I thought I might get a cycle trials bike to follow between sections. Having looked on you tube, I can only say how blown away I am with the talent out there!! I know at my age I have missed the boat somewhat, but what a fun way to keep fit. LBS has a diamond back justice resolve in at the moment - mine for £150 if I want it. Not in greatest shape, but not too shabby. I'm only a small bloke 5' 6" if I really straighten my back - would I be better off with 20" onza? I don't want to spend much, as I'm never going to set the world a light at my age and if worst comes to worst it will be great transport back from the pub!! any thoughts/recomondations will be appreciated (and yes, I know I should be looking for a Zimmer frame really)
