Oh, and when you do make a choice on what bike you want, Buy it from this website: http://www.tartybikes.co.ukHope i've helped out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am ze best Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Well the onzas you said you liked are 20" so i guess you are going for a 20" bike. Personally out of the onzas i like the blade and the skull the mostbut if i were you and just starting then choose the blade. the skull is better and you wouldn't want to muck it up within a few days/weeks of riding if you fall off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLTAGE25 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 thanks guys. think im going to get the comp as it seems like a good base to start and i can get a good discount locally. as for size i thought a mod would be better as i have a specialized p1 and the scott yz25 for jumps and general street stuff anyway. what sort of upgrades should i start with anyway or should i get stuck in and ride it.

The bike comes with good bits already and I would say until anything breaks, don't replace nout. ..Excluding brakes as you may want to get rid of those silly hydro's and get some trusty cable brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob. Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Why dont you spend £500 on a decent mod bike like koxx , gu , zoo ect instead of buying an brand new onza what weighs a bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
