duggyd Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi, I was just hoping to get opinions on these two lowbie bikes. I'm looking to buy one, and can't choose. Leaning towards the MAD, as i hear the Onzas are very heavy?I'm an intermediate trials rider, used to ride quite a bit in Bristol, but have not ridden for a few years now, and am looking for a cheapy bike to get me back into it.I am open to suggestion of anything else I've missed that's out there, i have £500, want 26", and not single speed. oh, and HAVE to have HS33s! Any advice and general opinions would be great, thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice and general opinions would be great, thanks guys!The T-Rex is very light. I have an 03' or 04'. I don't know the year, but it is very light for a stock bike. Mine is for sale for $650, but I don't think I won't to send it to Britain. Saracen's suck. I've never seen one not have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Get the trex mate. You cant fault them at all they are really great buys for the amount you pay, They are heavish but are real strong sweet riding frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggyd Posted September 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 hmmm, so the T-Rex comes out better? It does look damn solid, and looks better than the MAD too. I ride very lightly, so strength is not too much of an issue, I'm sure both bikes would suffice. So weight is more of a concern i reckon.Does anyone know the weights of the bikes off the shelf? I have looked for ages on the net, and can't find them anywhere!Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
