Little Yoshi Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 It depends on what you feel comfertable with.And since you just starting I would advise getting a cheap second hand one as then if you dont like it you havent lost a load of money.

No way! wannabe Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 It's not long since I've taken up trials & when I was looking for a bike, I was advised not to buy a 2nd hand trials bike. Because trials bikes take alot of punnishment & you never know what what a 2nd hand one has been through. There's a chance the frame could be cracked.

CorruptOne Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I've decided to give trials a go too. I've been the smart one and made a few adjustments to my old mountain bike to make it slightly more trials friendly while I learn the basics, but I plan to upgrade fairly soon(when I get paid).I was going to go for the MAD Phase 1.3 (simply because it is cheap) but replace the rear brakes with Magura's (HS33) and BB7's on the front disc brake. May change the fork too, I would really appreciate advice from anyone who knows their stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
