Luke Rainbird Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 A wheel that needs to be trued is one that's buckled, ie. it's bent from a knock/poor build somewhere through its life. If it doesn't go up in price much more it could be a good first bike to get the hang of things, but most of the parts are relatively low quality (trials-wise) and/or outdated so you'd end up replacing pretty much everything if you were to stick with it which'd then cost a whole heap more.

trialsbeginner Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 ah right cheers, and kk then ill give this one a miss, its just because i am looking for my second bike but i would like a stock rather than mod which i have ridden before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Don't underestimate the FS section on here - unfortunately for sellers, it really is a buyers market! Top spec bikes go cheap purely due to the nature of the beast - you'll find some great bikes for around £300+ on this site, so have a trawl and if you find one you like the look of, drop the seller a message for more details or with an offer. Good luck with the hunt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbeginner Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 yeahh man ive been looking on there for about a week and a half but all the stock bikes are like 300 above my price range or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Keep saving while you look - £50 more on a second hand bike could well get you an extra £100+ of upgraded parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
