if your buying a ska new, you could get a rad bike second hand, which i'd recommend cause the ska is functioning but awful, you want fancy brakes and a good freewheel off the bat or you'll be even more put off by the steep learning curve.

yeah SKA would be perfect for you!

I’d agree with ogre there. Get yourself a nice second hand bike for the same amount of money. That will feel better and will last you longer as well. People on this forum are quite genuine and I can’t imagine anybody selling you broken parts either.

Or, as people say - buy cheap, buy twice

Wise words indeed 

I just got my first trials bike a couple of weeks ago and opted for a 2nd hand bike over new. Better all round parts for less than the price of a brand new lesser quality bike plus it came with a spare tyre and front brake. Until I manage to actually aquire some trials skills I'll just stick with preowned and bash the crap out of it
