Cyklist Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 My first proper trials bike was a Orange Zero and it actually was a really nice bike, except for the tire clearance wich was pretty much the same as on a roadbike.Had it built up really light and it was great for the level of riding I was at back then. Eventually sold it since I didn't ride it that much towards the end. I kept riding more downhill and bmx and I didn't buy a new trials bike until two years later.And sure it would be fun to still have it, even though I wouldn't ride it since it's way too short and so on. But it did look mint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt middler Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 My first bike was a Saracen X-ile, it was a rubbish bike with rather cheap parts but i learnt the basics on it then then bought a decent bike and pushed myself further.

MadManMike Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 My first Trials bike was an Onza T-Raptor. (Also known as the T-Snaptor lol)I sold it because I got bored of trials and wanted a streety all rounder.I then got a Saracen X Tort slightly after, sold that because it was shite!

jonnyyork Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 1. My first trials bike was an Onza Woodstock. Easy to throw around for spins and streety moves, but flimsy and flexy to ride. 2. I sold it because I moved onto better frames.3. Never wish I still had it. Would never go back to it. Looks too old school for me, and would feel too restrictive after using long wheelbase frame.

vinny.p Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 my first trials bike was some unbranded gold 26" thing from onyerbike in burnley,funny thing is my mate bought a pashley frame the same year and when he held the frame next to mine the geo was identical.he was pretty gutted as my frame only retailed at about £90.

0zzy Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 my first trials bike was an onza t-pro got it off ebay for 350 quid at the time, i then upgraded the back wheel to a viz hub with try all rim, uprgraded the forks to echo lote forks and upgraded the bar and stem to echo team stem and zoo! 07 riser bar and i also put a tensile brake booster on the rear, it rides like a dream and i still have it today going strong.

Ben 81 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Not a propper trials bike, but i don't think there were any back then!1992 GT taquesta (?spelling?) 14.5'' frame. I wanted a Zasker LE like Hans Rey had but couldn't afford one, so this was the next best thing!It weighed more than a small car though, but it was bomb proof. (i've still got it!)I''m looking to get a mod and get back into it again, although i'm probably a bit old now!Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
