Hi, I've been looking into getting a trials bike and I have come down to one bike I like but I want to know what other people think about it. I know the Onza bird is a slight upgrade on the RIP and I dont want one of those as I've ridden one and it doesn't have very good brakes. So please help me as I'm looking to get one soon. Cheers Sean

im from mytholmroyd but im not very good at trialsing

"We have one in the shop now (Selectbikes) fully built and ready to go. If you wanted to buy one and change it to singlespeed we could do that for you for a small amount extra. It'd be a case of changing the cassette to a single cog, adding spacers and changing the mech to a single speed tensioner. We can look into it and do you a cheaper price for the extra parts and fit them for free." how much would this cost?

thanks for the advice guys i rekon ill do ok now

yeah my budget is around £200- £300 and I dont want to spend much more than that, is the DiamondBack Kabuki or Onza Bird any good these are the two that stretch my budget but my mate says they are ok.

Is it cheaper just to buy a bike with a single gear set or to upgrade this one. I need to know as I'm going to get a bike soon. Also on another note should I be looking at other 26" bikes as I'm 6'2" or should I look at the 20" bikes

I'm going to get the Diamondback Tekiya 2008 and I like everything about it apart from the rear 8 gears and I was wondering if it is possible to change it to a single gear?

Im new to trials bikes and I dont know if I need a 20" or 26" bike I'm 6'2" and I was looking at getting either an Onza RIP/ Bird or the Diamondback Tekiya as they are in my price range of under £270. Please I need help :P

Thanks for the adivce guys and I will bear it in mind when I'm looking

I'm new to trials and I've been looking at lots of different bike and I've had a look at the forums and most people say to newbies get a 2nd hand one. If so what trials should I get, I like the look of the Onza RIP and BIRD. I have ridden my mates RIP and its pretty nice so I think that is the way I want to go: a 20" bike Help please Sean
