  1. I am still looking for my first bike, would a 2010 onza comp be o.k? there is a new one on e bay foe 619 quid.
  2. hi well thanks very much for your advise! Time to go and buy my new 20" bike and try to re live my youth!?!?!?!?!
  3. hi hey thanks very much for your input! i spoke with a guy at tarty bikes today, can't remember his name but he was a top bloke and he advised me on buying a new bikes, after going through the options, we agreed on a echo lite spec 1, its slightly more than what i wanted to spend but heyho.......its only money!!! thanks again for your help!
  4. Having spent the last few days looking at different bikes to buy ,i am amazed at the mount of different configurations you can go for. Now am a big mountain bike fan, and although there are lots of different makes models and manufactures, it is very easy to get good advice from lots of different bike shops in the southwest, there are some very good guys who are willing to give out good free advice on what type of bike is good for your riding style etc, without trying to get you to buy from them! Now onto my point, in the southwest to my knowledge there isn't any shops that sell a range of trial cycles or for that matter are even that intreasted, i suppose this is down to the fact that there isn't that much intreast in the sport in devon/cornwall so they wouldn't make any money at it!! So i need more help from you guys from vast knowledge of the sport 1. wheel size......this doesn't matter to much? 2. why do some have gears? 3 .single speed, what ratio to go for? 4. buying new bike from a shop....is this a good idea? 5. brakes...disc or rim 6.is it good to buy various bits and build it yourself? there are hundreds of other questions but i realized i have sent half of you to sleep already! so i will stop...... Anyway a conclussion i have come to is the that this aspect of cycling seems very much left for a hardcore few trying to keep it from the masses,which seems a bit strange because, the more people that get into it, the more bikes that sell which means the cheaper they become, which has to be a bonus for eveyone?
  5. hi i am 5,9 and 12.5 stone, i had a go on a friend of a friends zoo which had 20" wheels and it felt comfortable,but i hear what your saying about the mtb thing ta
  6. hi thanks for the reply! i have a budget of 500 quid, and i like the looks of the 20"wheeled bikes..... god that sounds like something my mum would say!! hi I am looking for a bike at the mo, that was one of the reasons for joining this site, but i am not validated yet, and it seems like i can't answer any of the for sale adds until i am, but i have had a look at a 09 onza master.........would this be a good starting point?
  7. hi i am new to this here trials malarky, and to be honest i am probably to old to start now, but hey ho! Can any of you guys give me any guildence on wheel size, i did a while ago have a bash with a saracen flea , but it kept braking!, i have about 500 quid to spend on a used bike, please help!!!
  8.
