Onza Kid Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 i think the oposite if i was you i would go onto a 24 or 26 inch as they will improve your riding in the long run and it will be alot better for your size and also if ur a bit heavy and as a starter bike i would go for something like an onza or a inspired but as a first bike i would definatly go for an onza as there good bikes and very good for what you pay for them but i do agree you should deffinatly look on ebay and in the for sale section on the forum and look around a bit before making a decision but i would definatly go for a 24 or 26 inch. good luck in trials and choosing a bike.

sandeeebeach219 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Cheers lads, that gives me some idea of what I should be looking for I'll keep looking on eBay and see I anything comes up, I'm just needin somthing half desent to get me started Have a look on tartybikes.co.uk, there is a huge range of different bikes. Personally, i would go for a mod (20") bike. They are easy to learn the basics on and much cheaper than 24 or 26" bikes. I would go for an Echo Lite 09 or Zoo Lynx. Good luck mate.
