trials-ryan Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) My mate rides an onza blade and it rides amazing but he has just recently changed to double disc on it and it rides even nicer so i would get one if i were you they are really good bikes they are quite strong i think aswell, They are also really light there like the third lightest on tartybikes.

RossMcd Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Get it! Also while you do that buy front and back BB7's You will probably be able to Ebay the original brakes and get a bit of cash back! They ride amazing as double disc bikes!

However they would be a good starter bike but if I where you i'd get a cheaper bike off of here or ebay, as you pick bikes with good specs and much lighter. Or on the other hand just go for that and upgrade it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Go for it mate, but i would change the bar & stem setup,Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammyturbo Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for the quick replies i am probably gonna get a new bike like i said i used too be into trials and was not too bad so dont think i am gonna be abusing the bike like a newbie would be but thanks for the advice ! As for a rear disc i was under the impression that maguras where the brake of choice ?? and what mods would be good to do if i purchase ?Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie_Trials Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 just been on tarty and they have a echo for 600, maybe you could push your budget a little because it would help out a lot in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammyturbo Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Bike delivered today Been out for an hour but the weather is bad The major thing i noticed is how much stamina you need......................... unless i was just fitter 6 years ago lolFirst impressions of the blade are good nice light bike, I need a few more days too get back into it properly but did a four foot drop when i was out (i know thats small too some of you guys) but for the first ride in 6 years i was quite proud !!! Hopefully will get out again tonight if it stops raining.Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
