Lee K7 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hi, how you all doing? I'm seriously wanting to get into trials and need a bike thats going to be suitable for a beginner, i want to spend up to about £700. I'm messing about at the minute on a dirt jumper(Kona Shred), can do a few basic stuff like back hops and the such but the bike is obviously not built for it.

Xandor!1990 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 If your a beginner you want to start out on something like a onza t-bird or a t-pro. Because when i had first started out i had started on a t-bird then upgraded parts and frame to a t-pro as i got better. Plus there quite cheap for the price range that your at just go to www.tartybikes.co.uk or www.trials-uk.co.uk im bound they will have something for you!!

Adam Fisher Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Why want to spend so much. I bought all my bikes new and it was a bad thing to do. I would go on ebay and get a good onza t-pro for about £100-£150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Get yourself onto ebay, You'll get a top spec bike for that amount! Are you looking for Mod(20") or stock(26")? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i went and ordered the T-Pro after reading a few reviews and asking around, see how it goes anyway. Get yourself onto ebay, You'll get a top spec bike for that amount!

Thanks to those that answered. t-pros are f**king awesome you'll improve really fast with the geometry. anyway, 20" versus 26" you'll pick things up faster on a mod there lighter and easier to chuck around. stocks are more stable and tend to be a bit more forgiving bigger wheel gives you a bigger sweet spot to land on.
