Blake Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Bit expensive for your first bike to be honest. If you fork out £600 for a bike that you might not even want after a few months. If you have a fair bit of money to spend the onza bird 2010 looks like a good bike to start on and will also be good for quiet a long time to come. Hope it helped.

MontySamba Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 My mate has just got an onza comp and it is perfect. You could go out and buy a cheaper onza with v-brakes, but a couple of months down the line when you want more from your brakes, you will wish you had disc brakes or maguras and a cheaper frame and forks may not have the mounts for these type of brakes. So, yes I think a bike such as this would be perfect, if you are prepared to pay £619.00, then fair enough, but if you wait a while and keep an eye out on ebay, you will get a bike just as good, second hand for a lot less than that or you could look at the for sale section on this website. Simple answer, yes an onza comp would be perfect for a person such as youself looking for a good quality and long lasting bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock_N_Load Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 A friend of mine has just got a Onza Comp for christmas as his first trials bike and he has progresed so much in just this short amount of time, so I reckon it would be a good bike to start on and plus through the year if you start with a low spec bike you are going to be wanting a better bike, so it will be a good start on this bike.

davidbarr Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 (edited) Onza comps are really great bikes but with that money you could pick something up on here that is really hi spec Edited January 4, 2011 by davidbarr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could spend relatively peanuts buying some decent vee brake pads, linear cable, decent lever and a booster and have a a brake loads better than a magura.

Kenny--Trials Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Its not a good idea to get a brand new bike because when you start to bash this may crack the frame. When a new frame is £200. I'd advise looking on here fo a fairly low spec'd, low priced bike to start off on. That way, if anything goes wrong or you crack your frame, you have money to buy new parts.
