Balthazor Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Checked Halfords and they dont sell trials bikes at this rate i think im gona have to save up to buy and well by then id be about 50 lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Halfords used to sell Koxx, but it was through NSE, so you've got no chance through them anymore.Try supercycles for OnzaEvans for Phasethen there's other bike shops across the country that sell trials bikes and do finance.Try airvalleycycles, not sure if they do finance but they do plenty of trials bikes.

Balthazor Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Gahhhh found a few sites that offer finance on trials bikes but only if i want either a M.A.D phase 1.1 or 1.2 or an Onza 20" ( no 26" Onza's for some strange reason ) or a Monty cammel at over 2 grand lol.Has trials become a richmans sport recently or what hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) I think the problem your facing is that only large shops will do bikes on credit but don't sell trials bikes, but the smaller / trials specific shops won't because they're just too small and don't have the money to do bikes on credit.Maybe thought about a credit card?

Balthazor Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thought about credit card already but unfortunatley mine is almost at its limit got about £100 left on it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Try Bike DockThey do finance and used to sell trials bikes. They are still selling trials parts from what I could see, so maybe it's worth asking them if they're still selling complete trials bikes.

Muel Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Maybe you shouldn't be thinking about buying a bike if you've already nearly maxed out your credit card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Phone around and ask if anyone deals with a company called MooreLarge. They're the new distributors of Onza now but they also do a lot of other high end products so a lot of fancy bike shops will have an account with them.

anzo Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 You could try a private financial lender; it all works the same way. However they'll buy your bike outright and you pay them back with a rather high intrest rate. You never actually own the bike until its paid back.Although they can be picky on what they want to fund. A trials bike rapidly loses its value so if you don't keep up the repayments they can't really sell it on to regain their loss - which is why I imagine not many bike shops will over such finance on an expensive, yet disposable item.Though I tend to live by the motto, if you have to borrow money to get it, you can't afford it. Are you really sure you want to pay out your arse for the sake of a bike?The winter blues will be coming soon and not many riders will be out riding - spend the winter season saving up like made and treating yourself for christmas or the spring.

Robwalker Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Halfods can still get a few Koxx's through. Which you can get on credit. Not too sure on the entire range but go into your local Halfords and ask. If they say 'We dont sell them' say that Rob at Chatham 724 said we can and they can ring me if they want. Its under Monty in the Bikehut Product Finder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Cheers for all your replys guys i think i was getting a bit desperate for a bike when i thought of getting one on credit lol, as of right now ive got about 100 quid saved up so i think its best for me to save up and buy a good 2nd hand bike off here or e-bay.Ive got my eye on a nice Pashley on e-bay down from 600 to 299 now so hopefully in a few weeks i might be able to afford it, and i put my Kona in the local ad-mag for 350 ono so i might be up and running sooner than i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am ze best Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Maybe you should try to sell your bike at a boot sale or maybe a shop like an exchange shop then you can get easy money and then get your bike quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
