mista-neos Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) Hi there my local bike shop has just got a trials bike in stock. It’s an Onza T-MAG 08 and its been used, it doesn’t have a single scratch on it. So it looks factory fresh and finding a used trials bike in that condition is hard. I have now test ridden twice and I love how it feels. The shop is asking 400 pounds for it and new its 750 pounds. So do you think I should buy this or leave it?Thanks Blake Edited October 14, 2008 by mista-neos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yer I think it is for £400 with no scraches at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrex Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 It might be worth the effort to barter with the shop, see how low they are willing to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam 94 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 It might be worth the effort to barter with the shop, see how low they are willing to go.Yes of course andy. Yeah see how low they will go i would probably go for it. Is it light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mista-neos Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yes it is light I want to get a new rear wheel for it and new forks as I heard onza ones aren’t very good. And I might have to give that a go see how low they will go.Thanks ageen Blake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I think the forks are zona's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cresswell_d Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 get it!!! - its a good bike and just like any other bike if it brakes get a new one, and try and hassle the shop manager down!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtchell Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'd say get it mate sounds a deal and half ,350 would sound nicer though, but still at 400 its a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsLad80 Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 To say that it hasn't got a scratch, It's a really good deal.Try and nock them down abit on price while your at it, thats if you are thinking about getting it.And even if you don't like it, you will easily make your money back or maybe even more on Ebay.James.

Adam-Griffin Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 When you think you can get a top spec Zoo!/Echo/GU/Czar or something for that price if not cheaper, it's not that good.But it's not a bad price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t want that happening again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam-Griffin Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Not always, and a bashing doesn't necessarily mean it's not upto much.I'd put money on the fact that a bashed up Python last longer than a brand new T-mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doopdoopbedoop Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Not always, and a bashing doesn't necessarily mean it's not upto much.I'd put money on the fact that a bashed up Python last longer than a brand new T-mag.Pretty much exactly what I was thinking while I was reading through. But if you're set on getting the T-Mag then good luck to you, I know how frustrating it can be to have to wait to find another good deal. One piece of advice would be not to worry about what needs upgrading at the moment as you sound quite new to the sport. Give it a while to learn what you need to upgrade before just chucking extra money at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Fisher Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 yes i would go for it if you like it , but a bike shop will always go down on price if you offer them the money in cash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron.Tottman Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 if they'll go £350 wicked.if not £400 is still a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
