DANNI BOI Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 hello:)i think to be honest u should look around abit more.i have had one of these beasts and i must say they make a better hardtail than a trials bike.but if you dont want to realy want to ride trials seriously and just want to be out messing around on a bike then yes this is probaly good because it is cheap and they are a fine bike for doin lots of differnt things like jumps and just little street realy.anyway have fun on whatever you get :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholiver 11 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 well if it is a 26" bike you are looking for you should consider looking at the onza range. There is a few cheap bikes brand new or 2nd hand, but overall they are a good starter bike if you are looking to get into the world of trials.

Brad. Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Its not really that suitable for trials, if you are serious about trials then look for a good starter bike like an Onza, Saracen MAD or something along those lines, But if you are just wanting to do trials as sort of a mess about then mabie get something like that which you can do small trials and other stuff like jumps etc... And obviously depending on whether you would like a 20" or 26" bike. Its totally up to you and depends on how you feel about wanting to do trials.I'm sure you will make the right decision Brad.

Brad. Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) Search around on ebay.There is those new onza out now, onza cleaners? There some others which are cheaper if you dont like the price which is like £500 ish. They are on tartybikes and look ok for a beginner and are also 26" And the Phase has also been a favorite of beginners.Heres some linksPhase 1.3http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2147Onza SpyroGirahttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10274And TheOnza Hitmanhttp://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10275I think they are quite low prices for actually what you get and in my opinion a nice beginner bikes Although search ebay for a bargain.Brad.
