It's an Onza bar and a Guess stem but I don't know the specifics off the top of my head at least. I was trying to track stand and hop last night and it did not seem all that bad however when I ride or just coast I really have to crank my neck to see where I am going. I'll stick with it as I don't think it will hamper my initial progress and look at changing if it is obviously going to be a problem. Cheers, Graham

Thanks guys, I'll do just that. Graham

I am just starting out in trials with a used Onza T-rex and after limited play time with the bike I am finding the bars really low, I'm 6'3". Compared to my usual mountain bike the bottom bracket is high and the forks are short. I can't decide if the set up is genuinely not matched to me or if it is just the newness of it all. Are there any guidelines on this and would it be worth considering a taller stem? Thanks, Graham

Hi all, My name is Graham, I live in Oxford and as of today I am the proud owner of a trials bike, an Onza T-rex with hydraulic brakes, bought used on Ebay for what I think was a reasonable price. As a kid I always wanted a BMX but got a BMX annual for Christmas instead, boo. That was back in the days of steam radio and "pedals up". Since then I have kept an interest in cycling, I have a Rockhopper PRO MTB and a Ridgeback Genesis street bike. But the idea of doing "tricks" on bikes stayed with me and recently after watching a rather famous Scottish trials video on YouTube I started to wonder if it was practical for me to have a go, you see I am 31, 6'3" and not exactly stream lined (i.e. a bit of a FB.) Then I found a video of a 47 year old guy learning trials and I think there is no excuse any more. My aim is to become the worst trials rider on the block, but at least I will be a trials rider not just a cyclist. If I see you riding trials around Oxford before you see me I will probably run away (or pedal if I am up to that stage by then) out of embarrassment so don't be offended Step one, learn to not move anywhere, exciting Ciao, Graham
