Building A Bike From Scratch


Recommended Posts

If i was to build a trials bike from scratch, then would it turn out to be more expensive than a 2010 onza zoot or bird? because ive heard both them bikes are good but havnt found any around my price range yet so was thinking about starting from scratch.

What should i be looking at getting to build my own bike thats like the same specs and the 2010 zoot because ive heard the 2010 zoot has better specs then the 2012.

Thanks :)

hey, usualy when you custom build a bike it will work out more expensive as you will be paying the full RRP for the parts, where as a pre build bike will be less as some parts (usualy on cheeper bikes)are un branded, these are cheep and cannot be purcased.. It will also depend on the spec of the bike. Pearsonaly i would say get the one you would prefer then upgrade pars as an when you want. Hope that helps abit :)

My advice would be to hold out until you can get a full build. Keep checking pink bike, eBay and here, something will come up eventually.

Building from scratch isn't impossible and you could do it on budget but you could end up waiting for ages on some parts anyway so it won't work out any quicker.

Just to confirm, my b/f decided he was gonna build mine from scratch, it took quite a while to get built up, but did cost less than a most full builds using here and ebay. Winter is here people will be getting rid of the bike because they don't want to ride in the cold.

Hold out and something will come along!
