Thanks for replys. I'd rather ge a cheap new one, the one I had in mind id the Onza Spyrogyra, please don't say anything like your gonna regret it.(unless you know if it's a crap bike) I want a stock preferably, just because I'll have to ride it to riding places. I've been doing mtbing for about two years now. I can do the basics pretty much, (backhops as in hopping on rear wheel? I can do about 3...Still trying though) I'm about 5ft 10 and I'll be doing street mostly. Personnaly, I'd prefer to get new. My price limit's about £250. Someone once told me, second hand bikes are risky as you don't know what stresses have been put on it. That true? Thanks again
