Nice, but may I add that it would be of your greatest concern to BUY A HELMET!!!! I know it may be cool not to wear one, but just imaging losing your balance on that wall and falling backwards....

Thanks. I was looking at the ONZA Spyragyra (mainly because it has a seat. )

I'll look into it. By "out there" you mean the fact that I'm in the US, right? A lot of big manufacturers ship all over the world... at least I hope they do.

To tell you what I'm looking into: ONZA bikes. Cheap, apparently good for beginners (I hear a lot about the ONZA brand) Personally, I prefer 26" bikes (my mtb bike is that, so I'm used to it) and would go for the ONZA Spyragyra. Other than that I don't know much about trials bikes...

How did your English teacher like it? (Wish I could do that stuff...)

I asked the same question a few days ago and got no reply. But I think I know what to look for... What do you prefer? Mod bike or stock bike? (Do some research on the looks of each bike, they also work differently.) I heard that ONZA sells good bikes for beginners, but I could be wrong. My preference would be a Stock bike with a seat so I don't hurt my tenders.

Just take the weight of the bike and live with it. How a much does your bike weigh? ...20-25 pounds maybe? If so, consider yourself lucky (well, compared to me, probably the only person here who uses a mtb bike). Drilling holes in a frame gives me the impression of a weaker frame. Don't do it... unless it's a plan to break the frame and get a new one, in which I would say go all out!

So would you recommend a lower tire pressure to a beginner or a higher one? (Or, does it depend on the bike?)

Wow, 20 and 15 psi is really low, if you hit a somewhat sharp curb or thorn the tire would just blow. Does the tire have some writing on the sides of it that say something like 20- 60 psi (any number really...) Keeping the pressure higher will make it less likely to burst, well at least for mtb bikes.

Hey guys, I'm Jesse and I currently reside in Rochester, New York. I ride a Y26 Trek mtb bike, and am learning a few trials stuff on it (I know it's heavy and not a trials bike, but it works surprisingly well for weighing 35 pounds). Apart from this I am completely new to trials, having only started last month and am really into it!

Hey, I am new to trials biking, and have (for the past 2 months) been practicing on a full suspension mtb bike. (I know it sounds terrible, but I can actually pull off wheelies, pivots, and very tiny hops, though the bike weighs about 35 pounds). I have looked far, and my knowledge of trials bikes is minimal, but I am interested in a 26" (stock) trials bike that is under a thousand US dollars yet still light/strong. Any ideas what fits those requirements? Thanks.
