Swagyy Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hey everyone im interested in getting a trials bike, ive never ridden one and dont really know anything about it. Ive seen alot of people doing it around london e.t.c and it really interests me and want to start leaning. So can anyone recommend a good bike to get for a complete beginner? Im quite tall (6'2) so i was wondering if height plays a big role when choosing a bike? I dont really have a big budget so would probably want a 2nd hand one for around £200? Also what are the first things i should learn bearing in mind when i say i dont really know anything i mean nothing. I suppose i should learn what all the bike parts are e.t.c? im 20 almost 21 but its never too late to start right? Hope to hear from you guys soon, cheers.

Go on www.tartybikes.com and have a browse on there. Tarty are f**king awsome and I recommend you only buy from there really. Seeing as your new to the whole thing I will tell you this; Avoid trials-uk.co.uk (Dan KO is a scamming b*****d), use Capitol letters and spell correctly. Dont rush through your threads thinking its all ok just put some effort into your posts. Hope I have helped. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cresswell_d Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Well hight doesnt really play a role in what bike you need to get, I'm 23 and I'm 6'5'' and I ride a Zona Zip (a 20'' bike).One way you could find a bike for £200 is to look on ebay, Or,When you could look in the for sale part to this website. Please note you cant message them though the website (Untill you get validated.).But if they have a email address on there profile email from hotmail or something like that.Daz.

Hannah Shucksmith Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) Spelling and grammar LOLRepetitive LOLThe word 'Capitol' was also used in the wrong context. It should have been 'Capital'.I'm sorry, I just really felt the need to point that out.Edit: On the subject of punctuation and spelling I realised I missed the full stop off the end of the first sentance...

Pashley26 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 GTFO. Fool.Your a f**king disgrace. Get off your high horse, your no better than the new members because you've been a full member. You are worse. You were a full member and you proved yourself to be such a tool that you were demoted, so put the keyboard down until you can control your forgetful fingers.
