Alps Pacino

Going off the prices of them i think the t-comp is better than the t-pro but i'm very new to this so could be wrong. I'm sure someone on here can give deffinate answer

Ye i seem to be in the same boat as you, i have nobody to ride with an nobody that has a mod or stock to try and compare so i just took an educated guess and asked a few questions on here and paid the money and took a chance. Hopefully i will get on alright with the t-comp and manage to progress me skills a little.

not sure, suppose 5 people took a shine to me?

Well i put a bid in for an onza t-comp on ebay and won it at what seems a reasonable price to me?. Cant wait to get home now and take it out for a quick ride which should be fun considering i havent been on a push bike in 10 years lol Link to me new steed http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Cheers for all the help and advice aswell gents, i'm sure i will have a load more questions when i get home to annoy you all with Cheers Mark

Just got my email through saying i'm now a grown up on here, that means i can start with the bike shopping properly, didnt take anywhere near as long as i thought it would Cheers Mark

Thanks for all the input gents, unfortunatly i dont have any mates that have trails bikes so i'm going to have to make an educated decision and a bit of a gamble and just buy a bike and see how it goes. I suppose that if i get a good base i can always play about with different stems and see how they feel if i dont get on with the bike i buy. I have found a onza t-comp on ebay which looks a good bike and after doing a bit of searching on here they seem to be regarded highly so i might have a punt on it and take it from there. This is the bike i have my eye on so any input on what its like and worth would be much appreciated http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Cheers Mark

lol cheers, i did notice after i posted the link up that the a1 is pick up only which is a bit of a pain for me as i'm in sweden at the min and live in middlesbrough so a bit of a hike when i'm home. I dont think i have the luxury to cntact him yet so by the time 5 people like me and give me that right it will probably have sold anyway lol. Thanks for the advice by the way its much appreciated as you can probably tell. Cheers Mark

haha ye good advice, i would be looking for a second hand bike as like you say i wont loose a massive amount that way if i do decide its not for me and sell up. I have got my eye on a few bikes on here but being totally honnest i dont have a clue if there any good or worth the asking price as like i say i have been out of the bike scene for 10 years and never in the trails scene. Plus i wouldnt know which one would be best suited or better suited for me being larger than average. These are the ones i was looking at No price on this one and dont want to offend with a silly offer or get robbed lol http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=147582 I really like this and reading things on here people seem to rate them highly http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=147410

Spot on, looks like i need to find myself a good 26" then. I have been looking on ebay and on here but most bikes that are for sale seem to be mods especialy on ebay. All the 26" bikes on here seem to be a little more than i was wanting to spend and probably to good for what i need but i might just bite the bullet and spend some cash on a decent bike. Thanks Mark

Thanks for the quick reply, so in your opinion a 26" would be a better bike for me to start off on. The reason i thought a 20" would be better after doing a bit of searching on here is because people were saying they were easier to throw about and control, id would be ideal if i had the luxury to try both out but i dont so i need to be sure before i waste my money. Thank Mark

Hello All I'm trying to get into trials after a long stint off from biking, basically stopped when i was 17 and am now 27. I have been doing a bit of reasearch on the forum about what bike i should be looking at and have came to the conclusion that onza are regarded as a good starter bike and that a 20" is easier to learn on for a beginer. Now my problem is that i'm 6.5" and about 16 stone so not small and not light and was wondering if there was a certain bike or bikes that the bigger lads out there find more comfortable and easier to ride? Any advice would be mucho appreciated as i dont want to waste my money on something that is just to small or fragile for my size and weight Thanks in advance Mark

Hello All My name is Mark i'm from Middlesbrough and looking at getting back into biking again. I was really into it years ago and sort of gave it up when i discovered ars, women and drink lol, i'm 27 now and decided it would be a good idea to get a trial bike and to try and learn how to use it. Cheers Mark
