benjo1989 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Hi folks, Looking at getting into Trials, got my eye on a few onza mods, particularly the 2010 Bird - any comments? I'm based in Plymouth going to uni here, seen a few bikers around so I wonder if any of them are on here? Anyway, just saying hello. Hopefully I can find someone to ride with once I've actually got a bike and am a bit confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hitcher Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Welcome. I'm based up in plymouth at the moment, living with another rider, Luke Rainbird, usually out and about the majority of weekends with the local lots round here. Keep an eye on the rides / location section as any big rides are usually posted in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe O'Connor Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I've never understood why all new riders get Onza's? I never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe O'Connor Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Apart from being cheap. What makes them a good starter bike though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Apart from being cheap. What makes them a good starter bike though? Have you even looked at the bike in question? Seen any other bikes off the peg for anywhere near that money? Or if you have with the good level of parts to get someone started, don't forget its a decent frame worthy of hanging upgrades off of. Certainly more than good enough for a starter bike. Nice to see someone else in Plymouth starting up, I ride down there quite frequently and its always a good laugh, some good riding and a few good people hopefully see you out riding soon.

N.Wood Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Did a year of Digital art and Technology, then changed completely and I'm now a first year on Environmental Science I went to Plymouth Uni, but have moved to Mid Devon now. We still ride Plymouth now and again though. If you're on Environmental Science keep an eye out for a matey called Luke Holmes who's doing his PHD, he's basically trials master.

I didnt look at the bike. Its just an observation that I have made, Onza bikes are always what new riders get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Oh OK. I didnt look at the bike. Its just an observation that I have made, Onza bikes are always what new riders get. Mainly because they're pretty much the only manufacturer that cater for new and improving riders, shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjo1989 Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 Got the bike! It's quite nice, lighter than my old bmx Ironically I'm not in Plymouth anymore as I've finished uni :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
