Just saw a couple of onza t rex with the modern style frame on e bay for less than £200 is that a good bike for the money? what is good and what is bad???

If you choose to use disc make sure to get a powerful brake and a big rotor, I have a jump bike with 24" wheels and giant brakes the rotors are 160mm and they are way too weak for trials riding!!

Hi thanks for the qick reply! I think I rather go for a full build, I don't really have time to chase around for parts and I don't know whats good and how much stuff is worth... I'm about 183 cm tall. Since all my mountainbiking has been on 26" It sort of feels good and I always crash on BMX because it is so small and strange when used to a mtb.

Hi everyone! I'm Magnus I'm new here. After lots of thoughts I have decided to get into trials riding. I have been Mountainbiking for almost 20 years so I thought a stock would be the way to go. I live in bournemouth, are there any good spots to ride here? To the real problem I want a seconhand bike and don't know a whole lot about trials bikes, whats good and not. What is there to look out for regarding dents, cracks etc on the frame? What type of brakes are better and why? Single speed vs gears Different hubs, cranks etc.. What is the differens on a £150 second hand and a £450 (weight, geometry, whats most likely to be worn out) I guess what I really look for is some kind of buyers guide for a beginner, It seems to be alot of knowledge in this forum! Hoppe you can help me out a little and I'm sure there are more beginners out there that would be happy for some guidence Thanks! /Magnus
