Anyone?

Quick/stupid question; I've got a 26'' MAD Phase thing in the back of the shed (not sure what year). It has Magura HS33 rim brakes front and back. I've been thinking about actually starting to ride it (bought on ebay a while back and then never used it). So the stupid question is... Which is the best place to get it serviced in Bristol. I know I could just do it my self but can't be bothered to be honest. Just want to get it back in shape and then get me in shape!

I just saw your bike.... LOVELY!! Did you buy it that colour? (Its damn cool!) Mines pretty much bog standard I think, new to all this.. Could you let me know what I would need to convert it to single speed? (list of parts etc.) Cheers

Team Saracen MAD Trials bike (with gears) Any good? And how much hassle are gears?

No I haven't got any pictures, all I can tell you is that there aren't any scratches cause the guy who had it didn't use it and its a pretty cool dark red. Have you got any ideas about how I should start practicing or do you reckon I should just go for it!

Just bought an Onza T-Bird specs: Style: Trials Frame: 6061 Aluminium Forks: Onza Straight Blade Cro-Mo with disc mount Chainset: Onza Trials With 24T Chainring Bottom Bracket: Onza Sealed Chain: KMC Freewheel: 18T Dicta Headset: Onza Sealed Stem: Onza High Rise Cro-Mo Handlebars: Onza Flat Wing Bar Front Brake: Onza V-Brake Rear Brake: Onza V-Brake Brake Levers: Onza V-Brake Rims: Jalco Alloy rims Front Hub: Quando double sealed Rear Hub: Quando double sealed Spokes: Stainless Steel Tyres: Maxis Daddy 2.0" front and 2.5" rear Pedals: Big Foot Tred Grips: Gussit Sport Grip What does everyone reckon? (Paid £130 for it, its a 2006 model) P.s. Any tips on where I should start i.e. balance, bunny hopping etc etc... would be very much appreciated!!

Well I get the impression, the trials and ''normal'' cycling dont mix... not a problem I think I might go all out and get a full on trials bike! Which one between M.A.D phase 1.3 and Onza t-bird... (Iknow they're very different but....)

Right, want to get started but haven't got a clue what bike to get... I want to start doing trial stuff but I also want to be able to cycle for slightly longer distances as well (is that even possible) so firstly what size should I get? (20' 24' 26') Should I get stock or mod? and what brakes are best in general disc or 'V'?? Could someone sugest some decent beginner/starter bikes for me to check out?
