Hey Andrew, welcome to the forum - There is an 'Introduce Yourself' thread for new members to, well.. Introduce yourselves.

You've got my vote I've only just become a full member myself, so I know what it's like.

Just thought I'd give you a heads up, don't get the Rip. They come with a 20" back wheel - opposed to the 19" rear wheel of a typical mod bike. Makes everything a little bit more difficult.

Fair shout, what parts have you changed on it? The one that I wanted had full maggies, carbon brake booster and stuff - but apparently someone has offered him about £130 for it so i'm kinda annoyed.. Thats what I offered him originally, then pulled out of because I wasnt sure :$

Ok mate, cheers

I'm so sorry for posting so much crap, I just wanted to know something.. If I bought a Onza T-Bird, would the bits (wheels and such) be interchangeable with the modern Onza bikes? Cheers

Hey mate, watched that video on youtube a little while ago You're not bad! Hmmm, I'm really racking my brain over this Getting so annoyed! I still don't know what to do How much did you're T-Bird cost you? Thanks for your help guys

Hey mate, are the T-Birds light? and compared to newer bikes, what are they like? I'm in a place called Dolton by the way, a secluded little village in the south-west..

Come on man, he was only asking

Since I'm a newbie - Why is it better to have a front freewheel? So what, do you just get a solid freewheel to replace the back one, and then convert the sprocket? Mmmm, it does look fragile, since the frame has no under support from the front for a few inches..

I rekon you're right, it isnt worth it really - and I think it looks odd anyway And, if the holes are in too close proximation - your going to have some serious weakening.

Yes, I'd quite like that - but no reply as of yet

Hey guys, I asked this same basic thing in NMC when I was premember.. But I really need some further Reassurance! I want to get into trials, badly. And I have been looking on eBay for a bike - I found a nice Onza T-Bird I can get the guy to push the price down a bit, but it's up for £140 it has Front and rear Maggies, drilled rims.. And to be honest, it's a nice bike. I also found a Onza T-Mag frame, with cranks, sprocket and forks for £30 including postage. It has a few days left on it, and I have been sat there watching it thinking 'Do I really want that? Can I get a better bike?' I only want a cheap bike incase I don't suit trials, as I'm 16 and this will be my first time. So what do you think? I have about £185.. Does anyone possibly have a mod that you've got up for sale that would be good for me? Thanks in advance.

I agree, the forum is about sharing your love for trials and asking various questions about things your unsure with. Not just flaming people who ask the questions! Share the love people!

Really not too sure.. like matey said, the 19" wheel is generally classed as a 20" and that means you can have big fat tyres like the creepy crawlers on them, like a massive rubber cushion so your rim doesnt crack every jump. You'll find most people call mod bikes 20" bikes aswell, I suppose its just rounding it off. The only bike I actually know of that comes with a 20" back wheel is the Onza Rip, which makes it harder for everyone.. Confuses me too.

Thanks guys, much appreciated Feels good to be a member

Hmmm, this has the potential to be a good idea.

Whoops, my mistake - sorry :$

You seriously need to improve that spelling and grammar!

Had a look on eBay, cheapest one is £20 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ONZA-V-BRAKE-ADAPTER-/390232695811?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item5adbae6403 No selling in NMC.
