zane121 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Hi to everyone who is readinbg this. I am new to both Trials and this forum. I am looking at buying a Onza Bird 2012. But i am unsure as to weather or not its a good beginers bike. Can anyone help out? I have used BMX's for a number of yrs and I'd now like to try trials please help as am looking at buying the bike this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Very good, capable starter bikes! When I started I was on the old old T-Bird... mini seat and all, and I coped okay on that. The 2012 is a much nicer design, and generally kitted out better. The brakes, considering theyre the cheaper Onza Vee/Disc units, are brilliant. Very good I've found through riding a mates Bird (lol) and Rip. I doubt you'd be disapointed. Another option, would be to look on here, ebay, pinkbike etc.. for a second hand bike. For around the same money you could pick up a fairly high spec used bike that would last you right through you learning curve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketrials1995 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I would definitely say that an onza bird is a good bike I have been riding one for about 3 months now but when you start to progress a bit more you will wish you bought a second hand one because the tyres are shit, brake pads need upgrading and in the first month the non drive side crank rounded of but thats probably my fault. when I started I did trials on a heavy dmr drone for 6 months and as soon as I got on the onza bird it felt as light as a feather for doing everything.

zane121 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thats great guys think for £300 its a good deal and the bike comes with upgreaded rubber pad free. Wich is always nice. Id like a 24" too but since am used to the BMX I thought this would be the best into trials. I've never done trials but am sure if it turns out not to be for me then I could sell the Bird for the same money as at the moment its on sale so I dont think I can go wrong. The help is fab though, feel welcomed to the forum. Just need the help with the tricks now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zane121 Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Well thought I would say I have bought the Onza Bird 2012 just waiting on it being delivered. Wish me luck with it am sure it wont look new after a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
