Token Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 If you want to start out, and don't want to break the bank you'd be best buying either an Onza or risk it, an buy 2nd hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 perhaps http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10275 ,its new out from onza.it'll be easy to upgrade this bike and the spec isnt bad for its price.upgrades that i recomend for this bike would be magura hs33 with a decent grind and pads,a single speed kit and highroller tires steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoo_whittington Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 onza probs best if just starting outwhat the heck get a koxx lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thats the worse advice ever (above comment from zoo something) Why would he spend £1000's for just starting? I'd highly recommend looking on ebay and such since you get so much bike for your money. Theres always pretty nice stocks on there and won't break the bank either.

Trix Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Also i'd much more recommend looking on here in the classifieds section, although you can't post there you can always look and see if they have an msn address. Its how i got my first trials bike, and i'd much prefer buying a trials bike from here the ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hey,if your looking for an easy way into the sport, look through ebay for any second hand onza's, echo's, koxx's etc, but make sure the bikes are in good condition and the sellers have good feedback.If you look through the rides section on here, im sure you could find a ride near you, and im pretty sure that youd be able to get a ride on many different bikes and wheel sizes, its good to try them and see what you like!I built my pitbull from scratch about a year ago and its lucky that i had the money availible, because to get what i needed for the custom build went waaaay over budget! a full build bike is definately the cheapest and easiest way to go if your just starting. if you don't mind me asking, how much money have you got to play with?Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Well i've got £400 ATM but was just gunna put that on frame & forks... Or is that a lil OTT...nah thats a good price as you have got a wide range of products to pick from . i highly reccomend either echo urbans or echo controls,personally i would get the urbans as im going to shorten my wheel base with these; but the choice can only be made once you finally decide on a frame . are you coming along to the brum ride wayne?steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
