Sir_Hops_Alot Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 All depends how long you was riding before mate, to how good you was to what bike you would warrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Having ridden a DDG Shooter belonging to a friend of mine I wouldn't consider the geometry particularly good for trials. It's much more BMXy than most trials bikes... I'm a big fan of the Echo frames for proper hopping around on the back wheel trials, I've owned a Pure and bought a Control last Christmas and it's even better...

Jolfa Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Whatever your dream bike was when you stopped riding, you can pick up old top spec bits for peanuts, I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil H Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 My advice is pick up an old Onza T-Rex frame. Not the lgihtest frame but not heavy, has a good geometry and a very solid feel. Should transission you into the modern world of pure trials preety well at a relatively low price. Can pick a frame up for around £60 second hand.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 dude tartybikes are selling simtra st-1 frames for 150- 160 posted lighter than a t rex and bit of bb rise and the paint job is ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugh_b Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 (edited) trials bikes are now a lot longer, lower and with a higher bb. Check out www.metabike.com i ride the vtt 26", super solid and rides beastly. If not the simtra at tartys would be a good choice also.

At £160 you cant go wrong either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
