  1. Yeah well about the custom charges, I once ordered a shirt from USA, I don't remember how expensive it was, maybe 60$ or something, but it later turned into about a ~150$ shirt, It really wasnt worth it But it might be different since It's withing Europe. So I should consider a 26" eh ? Well my price range could be within £1000 EDIT: I've checked the Specialized site, and I've found some of their bikes http://www.specialized.com/se/en/bc/SBCProduct.jsp?spid=53749&scid=1004&scname=Dirt%2FPark%2FStreet Would that be something ? Or is that quiet simply the wrong bike ? I'm asking because I know someone that works with Specialized bikes, so I can get a discount and avoiding taxes
  2. So I'm a XC rider now and want something new to try out, so I thought Trials seems pretty fun. My question for you guys is what size should i choose ? from what I've read 20" is more of a pure trials bike, whilst 24" and 26" is more of a bmx influenced / street kind of Trial, Danny MacAskill style. So I'd rather ride more of the street kind of approach I guess, It's rather hard to choose since I've never tried it But since Im a quiet tall guy on around 194 cm, what inch should I go with ? I've been trying to look for a good beginners bike, and I've found this one http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/24_inch_trials_bikes/onza_zoot_2010/c50p11230.html Is it any good for me ? please give other suggestions if you think otherwise. The site tartybikes seems like a really good and legit one, but I live in Sweden, so I want to ask if any Swedes or anyone in the western Europe zone If they've ordered anything from that site ? What's the extra charges for shipping and customs ? But before I run of and buy a bike, is there anything I could practice on my excisting bike to get a hang of what this stuff actually is ? Keeping in my I ride a Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29er, so my frame is a 21" and my wheels are 29", so It's quiet a big bike. Thank you in advance
