TrialZonn Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I know that there are many topics about this but I'm in a very difficult situation and I need your help...I want to buy a new bike...And I want it ot be nice for trials riding...1.Not so expensive2.I live to Greece so I need a shop that ships products to my country3.The bike must be from a brand that my local shop can order (if there isn't a trials shop that ships to my country)4.The bike mustn't be seatless cause my parents don't understand that there are bikes without seat (they think that these are not bikes) and don't let me buy one,they find trials too dangerous)5.I want a bike a little more specific (not too specific)(not for beginners cause I have learned the basics with my old bike)6.Nice geometry for urban/street riding, lightweight, strong frameWith the money I have I could buy a nice trials bike like Echo But I can't cause it's seatless...So I haven't find anything interesting yet except this http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-GB/bikes/...ain/1408/29680/It's not a trials specific bike (it's name means Street/Trail/Park)but I have seen that Jeff Lenosky can ride trials on it...The new model (2008) have a rigid fork (the previous had suspension) so it's better for trials...It is lightweight and strong...and my local shop can orden it too!!!So I want to check it and tell me if I can use it for trials riding (is its geometry ok???)I don't want to do something really hardcore...Just Trials basics until I get a full specific bike in a few years...I want to learn techniques like Sidehop,Pedalkick(Pedalhop),Manuals,J-hop(Bunnyhop),180's...not so many drops from really high places...Please check the bike and his components and tell meor tell me about another bike that I can buy...Thank you for your time...

kona1991 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think the bike would be fine. My mate has an STP, not the rigid one, but yeh, he does basic trials on it.Also you'll just adapt to the bike, for example i have a cheap mod, learnt kick hops on it, and can now do it on any bike with a decent gear.But anyways, yeah the STP looks good, and youre parents should let you have it.Hope i sounded supportive.Connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
