Mikey Tomo Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Great starter bike. But if I was you I would buy some new Magura Brakes for it but that is what I prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-baby158 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I would go with an Onza T-pro, there great starter bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyB Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Looks like a good deal to me and its in your area. You can always upgrade bits as they break or you need better performance but as an introduction to biketrials I'd say get it and start riding.

Andrew Willis Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hes right.Get some Magura brakes put on it.I'd bid on it first.If you can try and get a second hand T-Pro or T-Bird (newer Model).But never the less, would be a good bike to learn the basics and the art of techniques on Give it agoAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Thornton Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Seems like a reasonable price.i would go for it.You could put some magura Evo 2 magura brakes onto it.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianatrials Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I would be careful with a vee only frame like that. Not much room for improvement. But, it is a good deal at that price, if you could get it for that id say go ahead. Id recomend the '09 onza blade or the pro, they both are nice bikes with alot of room for improvement.Christian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'd stick with the vees on it. Just get some good pads and grind the rim. To be honest though, save your money and get a used T-Pro, T-Comp, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan GU Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 No there shocking even for a starter bike, get a t-pro for starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Chinnery Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 Being a person who started on one :$ IMO they are god awful, 20" rims etc etc etc. Plus that picture is of one brand new and looking at the B.I.N price its (no offense) gunna be a pile of shite. But thats just my opinion. Sorry for being harsh but its the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thats just my opinion. Sorry for being harsh but its the truth.Almost new ones don't sell for much more, there just not desirable.It'll get you into the world of trials but you'll want to upgrade quite quickly.Davey.

Matt Kerley Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 heyy bud right i got a trials bike 2 years ago i looked at your bike and i had a go on it and if you get that bike andthen when you get a new bike when you get better it will feel/ be really arquard because of the length / height/ style if i were you i would do what i done and get an onza t-comp or a t-pro, t-pro is exactly the same as an onza t-comp but with worse brakes but go for a frame size like the t-pro or t-comphope i helped atleast a little =]matt[= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
