RazGman Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ok so i know this is basicly the cheapest bike I could have possibly bought. But to be fair it cost me 150Quid thats including the £10 disel I gave my dad to pick it up.. it was pretty much brand new when i got it 1 or 2 scratches tops I think I got a pretty fair deal and dont care what all you rich boys say im in love with it ! I used to ride mod and since buying this I have improved hands down, Just wanted to know what you lot think of this for a first bike is all, new wheels ect. are on the cards already when money comes in, But I have a mountain bike also so money gets spread out evenly between my two bikes at the moment there both in need of upgrading...

Tom Booth Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Good stuff In time I'd swap the rear hub, crankset for either some Deng cranks or middleburns, then swap your brake levers to something abit comfier and buy some half decent vee pads and your pretty much sorted!

trialsmax04 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 The only thing i would change for the time being, is get some decent pads, and convert it to single speed. Other than that looks like you have got yourself a good buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that looks like you have got yourself a good buy. decent pads are hitting the shopping list soon as these burn out mate ! And to be honest the main reason i got this bike was because of the gears, i live about a mile n half away at the bottom of the hill of lee quarry and it takes forever to ride up single speed! iv already gone though 1 hanger lol, so there a real help to me at the moment, once i get better and get transport it will be fine. i hated them till i saw it in person, and they ride nice too Do you find the grips really small? I found the original grips cut to small with the grip shift, so i bought some stander onzas to wack on and only cut off 2 notches in it,( was originaly 4) and yes there thinner than most but i kinda like it gives me a good hold on the bars.

RazGman Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I would say they ride pretty good! only problem being weight, the geo is pretty sweet though iv been on some more expensive bikes and this one seams pretty good. i would recomend to anyone starting out or on a budget !

Mikee Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) its not? has a completly diffrent shape? It's probably the angle. Edit: Of the photo I meant. Not the stem. Edited January 11, 2010 by Mikee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazGman Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 i think it is the angle of the photo, because its just a standerd trialtec sport forge like Damon W said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
