Joe Sheehan! Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Unless they do a 1 1/8 headset and 10mm axle version that i dont know about then no, to be frank.Get an Onza T-Bird, much better for money, better to upgrade and same price range as a Prodigy.

Joe Sheehan! Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 its a really fat headset i cant remeber the size Fsa pig i think its is something like 1 inch not sure lolIts a 1 1/6" headset. Which IS bigger than a 1 1/8" if you're confused. How much are you buying it for? You can pick up a nice T-Bird for around £150, if not, less!

LiamWood! Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 im buying it for £80 its has got a few marks and scratches no dints though, but i can get it powder coated for about a tenner so its all good lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 yeh i would only get a mission prodigy if it was under 100 and it was my first bike. but if you are any good at trials then i suggest you dont buy it, as the other people say it has pants upgrades and it is not perticulaly strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sheehan! Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Personally i wouldnt bother with a mission, save up the extra money and buy a T-Bird, it's the better choice in the long run. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamWood! Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 well i would'nt say im a very good rider, i havent rode trials in a couple of years though so i will be a bit rusty to begin with its because its cheap that im getting it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 (edited) Its a 1.5in headtube. only FSA, & Creek make 1.5 headsets, though your Fsa PIG pro is bombproof enough. Mission Cycles at the moment, are not committing to the trials industry because of poor unit sales of their trials bikes(specifically their bikes using the 1.5in headtube). So unless you got a ridiculously cheap deal on your 20in rig, your better off getting an Onza(if on a budget) as it will have a better sale value when you progress your skills and move up to getting a better trials rig...unless of course you decide to give up riding after 6-8months and just want to be able to sell it. depends on what area you live and what the riding scene is like there for trials. that 20in Mission will do the job, but its basically Old Skool geometry/weight/style.

LiamWood! Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 thanks for all your replys has been a great help i think i might get the mission then when im good enough i mght go back to a 26 inch bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
