Bonjour And Advise Please

[matryder]

Hi people. My name is Mat and im fairly new to all this trials malarky. I live near Dartford in Kent and i am currently looking for a trials bike. I just wanted a bit of advise from a few of you guys that know a lot more than I about which bike(s) and setups are best for someone thats a bit of a noob. I have recently been riding around on my mate old Orange Zero which feels quite good. Im looking to spend about £300 preferably on a 2nd hand bike thats got more spec rather than a later bike thats budget (if that makes any sense). Also i would much prefer a 26" or 'stock'. Not sure which term to use.

Anyway thanks in advance

For £300 you'll easily find something with a reasonable spec in the 'For Sale' forum. It all depends on how you ride (or how you plan to ride) with a new bike, for example if you're going to be riding street rather than pure trials then the geometry is very different between the two.

26" or stock, call it what you like.

I'm by no means an expert but I hope this helps a bit.

Cheers for the advice, ill probably be riding street more than anything. What is a good street setup i.e frame etc
