Dan Jonez Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Hi! I'm new here and to the world of Trials. I'm currently living in Portugal and looking at bike options (There are very few here) I fancy getting the hang of the sport as a new way to train balance and bike control. I'm not planning to get to a competitive level and would like a bike that I can ride fairly easily from spot to spot around the City. My original budget was around £300 but it's flexible as long as it's a good investment. The only bike I have found so far is an Inspired four play 24", it looks to be in good condition and the guy selling it is a really good bike mechanic so it's no doubt been looked after. I was hoping to get some advice on the price as I have no idea what's good or bad. The components it comes with are below (My best translation!) I really appreciate any advice on the price and whether this bike is suitable for my needs. It's advertised for 630 euro (£500) Cheers!

isitafox Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 As above, good price and those older frames are really nice to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Jonez Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks for the replies, how old would you say it is then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 The mk1 frames were made from 2007-2010 (I think) so anywhere inbetween. I wouldn't say it effects the value in any way though if that is what you're worried about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Jonez Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 That's good to know! I guess it's time to purchase and start dinging my shins! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
