Quick question... Is the rear wheel 19" enabling it to take a larger rear tyre? Just asking as its an older bike and not sure if the 19" rear is a newer thing
Brilliant thanks Adam.. Yes I suppose in hindsight it's going to be light as foook for me anyway as I've ridden DH bikes in the past! All help is appreciated gents
Wow...that was exactly what I was looking for thanks... As I suggested before this was not a bike I'd seen much of so getting a low down on all parts and mods was great. Hopefully I can agree a price with the seller and get myself on "the street!"

Thanks a lot for the reply I really appreciate it...
So what I'm taking from your opinion is that it's not overly outdated so I should be fine to get out and ride round town with it (I don't have comps in mind at this moment in time) however you wouldn't recommend upgrading to any serious extent as its not a high end bike to begin with...
Thanks again
I've posted this in the "is this a good bike" sticky but fear it doesn't get the traffic that the main forum get so my apologies for the second post but I hope somebody sees this one! I have the possibility of buying an Adamant A3 I'll look to get a picture up to aid with your help...
specs are
Adamant a3 frame Magura Louise fron disc brake Magura hs33 rear brake (shimano lever) Riser bars Trialtech cranks Echo hubs Rockman pads Echo headset and stem
However I am not overly sure on the bike itself and it's quality... That only being said as it's not the typical "onza" bikes you see quite regularly on sale websites. Is this bike very old/outdated therefore giving myself a disadvantage at learning trials or is it in fact a bit of a find!?
Would someone mind giving this newbie a bit of help!! Thanks
Edit: if you could suggest what sort of price range in should be looking at aswell that would be appreciated.
Thanks

This helps a lot! Really appreciate the reply... At least I can start to pencil in a cost for these products and what I'm looking for.... Any opinion on the T-PRO frame? A £20 find so in thought it had to be worth a go as a base frame.
Hello everyone! My first build is under way I have acquired an onza T-PRO frame but this is going to be a complete build.
My appeal is for help with the setup on the bike.
I am looking for some ideas of what to be looking for in a hub/bb/crankset/freewheel (front preferred) etc. I have trawled tarty and trials addict but I am slightly blown away with the choice an I'm struggling to know what is compatible with what.
So to recap if anyone could put together a shortlist of what would be a complete setup for effectively the "drivetrain" of the bike.
Please keep in my im no sponsored rider with an unlike budget!! Haha
Any replies are appreciated

Good evening everyone.
Does anyone have written down or stored somewhere the geometry for the onza T-PRO. I'm aware the newer models are just called PRO but this is definitely the T-PRO.
It's the silver\grey frame with the white onza stickers.
I really appreciate any help.

Sorry hadn't seen that you had replied. I'm in Kent and I have been looking at a fair few bikes on eBay/Gumtree etc.
The issue I have (as I'm sure many do) is price for a bike. However I am happy and in honesty id prefer to grab a real "doer-upper" at a cheap price that I can really put my stamp on.
Thanks
Just looking for peoples thoughts on an onza rip as a base bike and its compatability with parts to make it more of a custom build and to my preferred spec (when I find it!)
Reason I ask is that I can pick up a RIP fairly cheaply locally for about £150 but would be very keen to use this bike as a platform to upgrade and make my own.
For example does it have the ability to install a wider rear tyre or discs etc rather than the more "bolt on" components.
Thank you in advance and I hope to hear and get involved more as I grow with this sport!!
Looking to build my own mod but still very new to the mod scene... Using this as what I would think is a cracking looking bike, what would the costing be of a build like this? (Roughly of course)
Thanks for any help
