sdm Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I'm torn between which bike to get out of these three. It's mainly for use in Portsmouth (if you know the area), this is my first mod bike, I've not ridden trials in a few years (used to ride stock), and I weigh about 13 stone if that helps ha ha! Looking for the most robust/reliable option, something I won't regret! Onza T-Comp '08 Yaabaa 649 Monty 219 Magura '08 I have narrowed my choice to these three so I'm really not looking for other suggestions. At the moment I'm liking the Onza most. Cheers!

El Cristoff Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Can't go wrong with a t-comp, they ride very nicely How come i haven't seen you around before? And does sdm stand for SouthDowns Massive ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does sdm stand for SouthDowns Massive ? Yeah I'm definitely edging towards the Onza. When I said a few years ago I meant somewhere in the region of 5-7 years. sdm is my initials, first name Stu.

Muel Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 If you want a bike right now, I'd get the Yaabaa. If you willing to wait for the new Onza's to come out, then you'll love yoruself for waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, fairplay to you Yeah, i'd wait for the Onza's, the yabaas are awfully short (990 wheelbase) so you'd be better off with a BMX lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly eager to get a bike sorted. It's going to be a nightmare being rubbish again, I'm looking forward to it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 try and find a older T-Pro, exactly the same as the T-comp just a diffent colour (and 5mm longer or shorter stays, but thats all) You can probably find one on here for cheaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Gay Bear Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 If you have £500 to spend I would consider looking around ebay Echo team Just keep your eye out and you will proberly find a bargin... Cheers Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzaboyjake Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Yeah as said before dont go for the Yaabaa as due to it having a very short wheelbase you will be very unsteady on the back wheel which is not ideal for learning on. You cant go wrong with an Onza T-comp or if you were considering buying second hand a nice spec T-pro would be ideal for getting started in trials again. I dont know much about the Monty so I'm not going to comment but to me it looks like the Onza is the best option. Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I would personally say wait till you get validated, and buy a second hand one off here! Sooo many bargains come up weekly on here. Top spec bikes for about £400-600. I would deffinately say thats your best bet, as all those bikes listed will be nowhere near as good as something you can buy off here second hand! Just my opinion!

Z o o !! Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 wont find a better bike than this for £400 trust me! http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=121623 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeaky Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 If I was you I would wait and try some bikes out that way you will be able to go on some bikes and find out which one feels right for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Onza t-comp defo or you could build a bike like a did. Bought a retro t-bird for £170 Bought a DOB Magnesium frame for £130 Bought new cranks fo £30 Bought new bar stem £?? Bought new forks for £?? Overall spend like what £400. And it works pretty well, except some issues caused due to needing a half link... But t-comp i think is the nicest out of all of the bikes you listed.
