you may have trouble learning to ride on that bike, riding with forks is very hard. Trials specific frames are noramly the easyiest way! If you look for onza t-bird, t-vee, t-rex (26 inch) they are a great starting bike.

Hope ive helped

Hi there!

Cambridge has a friendly scene I don't get time to get out riding there nowadays, but if you hook up with Julien and the others sometime then you'll be guaranteed a warm welcome.

Hey!

There's a few riders around Cambridge! I'd be more than happy to help you to learn to ride trials. Generally, I'm riding most days around the town centre at the moment, usually in the late afternoon/evening so you're more than welcome to join me. Also, there's usually a few of us out at the weekend.

Edit: Apparently you can't PM Pre-members, so i sent you an E-mail!

Yep, we're out riding quite often, and tend to meet up most friday afternoons, then also on the WE. We'll get you started.

Yea..? Riding with out forks is even harder.... no front wheel... handle bars.. stem with out forks..

I think what you mean is.. riding with "Suspention/shock absorbing forks" not Ridgid ones...
