CrazedMofo Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi all, I'm 22 and i have a 19" trek 4300 i use for light trails around my way. Used to do a hell of a lot of bmx'ing a fews years back too. Now I'm looking for a 20" trials bike I can use for when i go 140 miles away to my misses house. Basicly I will have something to do when she's at work on a sunday as i have a mate up there that does it too. Being a bit of a noob to trials what bike do you recommend? What prices can i expect to pay as i dont really want to pay shed loads and more than likely going to buy second hand for a half decent one. More to the point.. anyone have a bike they would like to sell around the berkshire or devon area. can pick up. Cheers guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look on www.tartybikes.co.uk and deside on a one you like, Also people arn't aloud to sell in the NMC wait until you get validated and then try and get one from the For sale section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob L Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I would start by looking on Tartybikes if there too much look on Ebay for something like a Zona Zip or some kind of Onza it would be like £300-£400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyeo00 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hmm- i would suggest a Onza blade (£500~) Any of the Onza 20"s with a 19" back are great begginer bikes.Personally, i wouldn't buy the RIP because my friend baught one and within 3 weeks his cranks were trashed and were falling off Mat.
