Hannah Shucksmith Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Neither of them. Wait until validated and buy a much better spec'd bike from the For Sale section. You'll get waaaay more for your money and still have a bob left over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifiedridah2k9 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 but i want a new one Why? The bikes on here that you can get for the price of a brand new onza rip are pretty amazing like an Echo Team. You know what, go waste your money and buy a new bike lol.

Dwarf Shortage Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) how long that take It depends on the quantity quality of your posts. Posts that are helpful will get you vaildated quicker, whereas posts that are needless, contain bad spelling/grammar etc, will make the process longer.

Posts that are helpful will get you vaildated quicker, whereas posts that are needless, contain bad spelling/grammar etc, will make the process longer. And you have got to use full stops, commas etc. So you can't write like this: oryt how do i gt validated qwiker so i cn buy stuf. Not emplying you were spelling like that, just saying. Also make usefull posts, if somebody posts a picture of their bike, don't just say "cool". Ask some questions on how it rides, is it light etc. Hope i helped you out mate.

isitafox Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 With that much money I'd wait till validated then probably buy a good condition 2nd hand frame then buy everything else new. I did that with my python and it only cost me about £350-450 and its as good as a brand new bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the rip there great bikes. I would say Onza are one of the easiest to get in touch with and get warranty issues sorted, you just have to know how to get in contact, ring up the supercycles shop and you will get straight through to the owner , just don't email them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis-collins Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I would definitely wait to get validated and go with the second hand option, alternatively you could always look on ebay, I looked on there about a week and a half ago when i was looking to buy my first trials and I saw some pretty good specced bikes on there for decent prices . Another way of getting a bike is to just ask around locally if anyone is selling a second hand bike, I did this last week and it turned out that a boy I knew who lived about half an hour away from me was selling a good specced onza ice for £450 , I agreed to buy it off him and i'm so happy I did. I prefer trials so much to bmx which is what I previousley did, also I got a good deal and some money left over, which is always good !
