isitafox Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 It looks like a good little starter bike that. Probably be a bit heavy being a Mission and with the large axles on the wheels but it looks in very good condition and would be relatively easy to upgrade the frame and swap everything over. Should do the job for you to get started on, and I wouldn't worry about the price. You could definately pick up a bit of a better spec for that price but not as good a condition as that looks in for sure. Hope it rides well for you!

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 but i didnt see the little sticker that came with it i belive its quite an old 1? I think the sticker is unrelated to the age of the bike, it's just stating that it passed the British Standards tests which haven't been changed since that date. I'd put the bike around the 2003-4 sort of period and should do you just fine to learn the basics on and practise for moto riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 cheers, well the guy i bought it off his daughter does side car trials, enduro, basicly any thing and every thing with an engine any thing todo with bikes she does they drive round europe every other weekend competeing considering they r bike mad, i though it must be well looked after, i asked why he was selling it, and he said it hasn't been used in like 2 years what sort of frame would i look for? i dont have any idea of trials in the push bike world of things motobike i know names makes, wots good and whats not but non motorized trials well im glad your saying its good, thats releaved me lol would have been gutted if was bad lol sry for the large photos, i didnt know the limmits on what you can upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 how far are you wanting to take push trials? do you want some beautiful bike or are you just wanting something to piss about on? cause the mission will be a f**ker to upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 ahah well if its gonna be a f**cker to upgrade im not botherd i wanna take it seriously, cos i do motor trials competitively, imm gonna use it to practive on, like learn to hope it up stuff normally for me if i wanna jump onto summin, i just pop the clutch and off i go but now to co-ordinate pedeling, hopping and balance, im crap LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 if you want a bike you can build up over time easily with nice parts you want to look elsewhere. i could bore you with gory details but in short. if you want to upgrade the wheel, frame or forks, your going to need to outright replace all 3 at the same time cause no other trials parts are the same size (i think, i know the rear wheel/frame is. and the forks on some missions are 1.5" instead of the "normal 1.1/8" forks). if you spend a bit more on you initial buy it will pay off massively in the long run this would be fantastic, it's probably going to sell for £350 £400 but you would be able to ride it without any doubts or fear of it not being good enough, full hydraulic brakes, front freewheel, isis and sweet geometry...

Gilbert Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think as ive only just bought it, i'll put up with it, try n learn what i can and just have ago on other bikes as well to see how they differ and feel etc.. i dont think i want to build one over time, cos thats what i have my beta 250 for, that one you linked on ebay, goes to show what condition my one is in, thats looks quite beaten up in comparison cheers for having alook around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 didn't realise you'd already bought it the zoo is beaten up (it's from 2005) but i'd put my money on the zoo serving you much better than the mission would, have fun regardless though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.tattoo Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 my lil bro just got a mission as new 75 quid, one on ebay too for same money. the botom bracket feels like its an inch off the ground? i had a lil go and couldnt do sum things i do on my onza. he got hes for basic balance track stands etc, the minute he starts jumping about he will get a diff bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Dunstan Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Good bike to learn on, but £250 is VERY expensive for what you have purchased. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
