I'm trying to keep my budget as low as possible for a first bike, for around £400-£500 what sort of spec do you think id be able to find?

thanks for reply, I’m based in Worcester. I’ve been looking at second hand onza’s as they seem reasonably priced. Any experience of these? A pro would be nice. Any other makes you’d recommend or any other advice you’d give a nearly 40 year old about getting started?

Hi, I’m seriously wanting to start riding trials but am getting confused as to what bike and spec to look out for. Im 5,7” and on the wrong side of 15 stone. 

I ride a lot of trails on my mountain bikes and but have to travel distances to do this as I live in the West Midlands and I like the idea of practicing my bike skills nearer to home after work without having to travel. I’m unsure as to what size frame I should look for, wheel size and is there any rookie mistakes I should avoid that put people off? 

Any advice is really appreciated as I don’t personally know any one who rides trials.
