Hey, my name's Elliot, I'm 16 and live in Loughborough. Haven't yet got a trials bike but I'm looking to buy one soon. Been riding other bikes all my life and am a decent mechanic. This post was a brilliant idea by the way, really helpful cheers

OK. This is all really helpful, I'll definitely be looking into all the suggestions you've given here. I wanted to buy second hand, I know that people argue that you don't get the warranty but I'm a good enough mechanic to fix most problems I've come across so far on my bikes (and enjoy doing it), so I figure buy second hand and learn more about the fixing, instead of relying on a warranty. I checked out the link, it was helpful and saved me a lot of time trying to find some of the answers to those questions, simplicity is better than complex in many cases, especially when dealing with n00b's Thanks for everything, especially taking the time to help a novice, means a lot

Wow, thanks for replying so fast! I'm about 6'/ 6'1" I have ridden a BMX since I was about 7, I also ride a BMX Jump bike and I recently refurbished my dad's old racing bike. Hmm, not sure which I feel more comfortable on, probably the BMX or the Jump bike, so quite small bikes. Yeah I've been checking out all the topics but I figured no harm starting my own topic to get to know the website more. Thanks again

Going to get into Trials riding and could use some help with deciding which bike is for me. Thanks a lot in advance.
