*gentlydoesit Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) I paid 210 +postage off ebay for the pitbull and I'm at about 300 ish on the new bike, not finished either. Theyr're both stocks. It seems the 24" street bikes hold their money so even if you did buy new ther'd be little depriciation, used are better value imho *edit. I'm riding this saturday if the weather is ok, anyone about I could tag along with? Edited October 15, 2013 by f**megently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle-livesey Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I only use face book to take the mick outta my girl friend and to organise and know where rides are, face book has killed trials forum to be honest all the riders use that.

TOMTRIALS123 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm down in Malvern and new to trials but I'd love to meet up with some new people to learn all I can as I'm by no means good! P.S. I only have a normal MTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted October 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Tomtrials.. I've been to malvern plenty of times but I wasn't riding a trials bike then, is there any natural around to ride, rocky outcrops n the like?

TOMTRIALS123 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah, there is plenty of natural and street to ride but you have to be careful where you go because it is a SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest) in some places. I've never had the skill to ride any of it though, I instead usually just go on the hills doing XC and the odd jump! That's why I'm gonna learn trials, but yeah, there is tons of natural obstacles to ride on: I've never tried riding them but there are a few deserted quarries where you can ride old pieces of cast concrete and fallen boulders and a few cool obstacles in town.

Ash-Kennard Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) id say 800 was a hell of a lot for that! wouldnt bother, you could buy a top spec bike for that money secondhand! EDIT: to be fair the spec is good besides the frame and forks, but its still too much. 500 max for that Edited October 17, 2013 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapiesworld Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Cheers dude thats what i was looking to offer but he wasnt interested. Looking for that style bike for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) if you are just starting, this is a bargin! http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/2010-onza-zoot-24-trials-bike/1035192742 spend the rest of the money on upgrades and sell the spares, it also mean you arent investing hundreds not knowing if you will like it or not http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/custom-gu-le-09-trials-bike/1034555920 this one is good too, does need brakes though, but will be easier to learn pure trials on and has a good spec! if you can handle the colour Edited October 17, 2013 by Ash-Kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
