Panteraboy Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hello,What are the pros and cons of the bird against the blade, is there any significant difference between the two? Which would be better to learn on? Which is cheaper/are there any second hand going?CheersJason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 If money is no object then go for the Blade. It's got a better spec so won't need to be upgraded so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maladie Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well i wanted a blade as my starter bike but had to go for the bird because it's £150 cheaper and my dad didn't really want to go spending nearly £500 for my first ever trials bike seeing as me or him weren't sure if i would enjoy it or not.Turns out getting a trials bike is the best decision i've ever made, but there you go But yeah, go for the blade if you have enough,better specs and much better looking too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladie Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Nice one,cheersDo you know what kind of price the blade or the bird would be second hand?I'm not sure mate, but take a look on Ebay for a blade, or maybe a T-Pro which I think has very similar specs.Or you could wait until you are validated then you could look in the for-sale section regularly, or post a thread in the wanted part.

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Nice one,cheersDo you know what kind of price the blade or the bird would be second hand?They're brand new, so I doubt anyone will be selling one just yet. Keep your eye out for 2nd hand T-Pros. They ride so well, and being 2nd hand, they generally come with an upgraded spec, but for a much cheaper price than a new, lower spec model!
