Dante Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hello guys, My name is Dante im 18 years old and live in The Netherlands. I have been reading alot stuff about trial biking for the past few weeks and have been watching multiple movies/tutorials. Eventually i decided that i really like this sport and wanna go ride trials my self. I decided that i wanna go ride in and around the city i live in and i think a 24" bike would suit me best. Ofc i watched some movies including the ones of Danny Macaskill and thanks to his movies i went and check the inspired bicycles site out. But then i saw that those bikes are like all 1090 euro's or more.... Its not like i dont wanna spend so much money on something i love to do, but since i never did anything close to trialbiking and i dont know anyone that does i think its alot of money for a starter. That's why i was wondering if there were any alternatives to the inspired line that arent so expensive and still are 24" and suited to the streets. I hope you guys have some suggestions for me for another bike. Also would be great if you guys can tell me some points i should focus on when buying a bike.

Little Yoshi Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Onza zoot is a good start. Give tarty bikes a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurlyBox Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 when you get a bike post on the member organised rides and say your area and arrange to meet up with people and then you wont be alone and they will help you out whilst youre learning.

Mat Tea Why Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Another good idea is to check the for sale section on here, you might be able to get the bike you want fairly cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 ...when you get a bike post on the member organised rides and say your area and arrange to meet up with people... I can tell you from bitter personal experience that just by choosing to ride trials in Holland , this fella now bring the total number of riders here to a whopping 30-35 ish . Mr.Dante , as I suggested on the (laughably underpopulated) NL forum ,don't discount 26" streetbikes ,as parts are more readily available here and you could configure a bike for street or perhaps later pure trials , retaining largely the same components . Whereabouts are you ? If you're ever around Den Haag it would be great to meet a fellow rider ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 About the Zoot its 450 pounds not euros Why are you guys all so hyped about tarty bikes? if i check that site the zoot is like 540 pounds excluding shipping. while other sites have em for like 510 euro including shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 tarty bikes do have high prices. i saw on one site and there was a bike and it showed how much it was and how much it was in RRP and the bike was being charged more than RRP on tarty bikes apparently.

If that's to do with Onza bikes, the RRP got raised and we raised it to reflect that as we were told to. A lot of other shops didn't, and sold it at the previous RRP or below the previous RRP, whilst still quoting the out-dated RRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurlyBox Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) thats so awesome! i love tarty bikes now. i never noticed that but i never thought to check in the support section. i take it all back, tartybikes are not over priced, theyre awesome and think about their customers and not just making as much profit as they can.
