    hi peeps

    my name is Ryan and i'm 24 y/o

    living in south london - just started a job in London nr. Victoria Station

    used to ride BSX but living in the city i'm keen to get involved in trials

    looking to get myself a low-end bike to get me up and running - something like an ONZA RIP - seen one in the For Sale forum, so fingers cross

    hey

    i think i'm gonna get myself a 20"

    to be honest, looking to spend £150-200 (second hand) which i know isn't a lot but should get me up and runnning and give me enough of a taste to decide which direction to go in the future

    ONZA T PRO (2009)

    ONZA RIP TRIALS BIKE 20"2009 MODEL

    ONZA BIRD

    i'll also keep an eye on the forum here for anything

    how important is it to have a set of HS33s, as i notice the RIP only comes with v-brakes

    can you get away with upgrading pads and grinding the rim?

    chris4stars - cheers for the heads-up on TartyBikes.co.uk

    Hi all

    I've been out of riding for a while now - used to ride BSX until my local track got shutdown

    I've recently started a job in London and keen to get myself a trials bike as the city seems like a pretty big playground and also be a good way to meet similar minded people

    I see there are quite a few peeps organising rides and stuff in here so should be able to find some people to ride with and learn from which is always an encouragment

    I'm looking at getting something second-hand probably, as it'll be cheaper, but i'll also consider a new bike

    as most people have said, entry level bikes are pretty impressive regarding spec

    I have no idea what i'm after ie. 20" 24" 26" not to mention geometry/brakes/bars

    are there any particularily good bike shops around London where i can try a few models out?

    keeping an eye on a few bikes on ebay

    mainly Onza as its one of the few brands i know

    anything else i should look out for?

    thanks for the help peeps (Y)
