BetaNZ Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hi guys, I am looking at getting my first trials bicycle, and a mod seems the go. I ride moto trials so this would just be a way to practise and of course show off in town . I have $1500 NZD (720 pounds) to spend, I like the idea of using tarty but then shipping is expensive to NZ and I also love the colour of the Atomz Premier which may turn out to be too much money with postage, the echo lite spec 1 looks good what do you guys reakon? Although there is a second hand monty kamel on trademe for $1450 NZD here is the link: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Cycling/Other-bikes/auction-331389556.htm. Cheers Brad.

Yorkshire Dale Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 I'd go stock, easier to swap between moto and cyclo trials then. plus mod is for shorter people people so u need to take that into account first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaNZ Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thanks guys, the monty sounds good and it comes with 11 FRONT TYRES but it may not still be there when I have sold my xc but we will see. I already have a dirt jumper that is 26" although it is 15kg so not great for trials. As for the short people on mods thing I am 5 foot 11 at 16 years and my dad is 6 foot 2 and granddad is 6 foot 5 so I am expected to be tall, will this be a problem if I got a mod?
