That bike would be useless for trials.

Buying a second hand bike isn't a bad thing at all.

If they give alot of info on the parts and condition, then its usually ok.

If you do buy something second hand be prepared for suprises, try and see the bike before buying.

Again that nNorco would be completely useless for trials.

what is the difference apart from the capital A? :)

that might be a stupid question

The capital A was meant to highlight that the A and I are the other way around.

Trails is dirt jumping and stuff along those lines.

Trials is hopping about on rocks and other peoples property, without a saddle and with silly gear ratio's.
