Is Trials Biking The Most Expensive Sport
durkadurka replied to abe's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
i work in a bike shop and i have picked up on a few things. road is probably the most expensive and you have to have a winter training bike (minimum 500) and then a race bike which can go up to 7000 for a trek madonne. its real nuts!! then you have to add on, the lycra, spd shoes and cleats, aero helmets. the carbon accesories can really amoutn to a lot. i advise not takin this sport unless you at a standard like lance armstrong or better, because it will bleed your pockets dry! stick to trials! adz :lol: -
