holymush Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I thought cheap bike to start with, have a go if I like it then more expensive bike eventually! 120 quid off eBay ....why...o why did I buy it!!!! Clearly not looked after in any way! I basically need a new bike now as this one spends more time being fixed/ in the shed with me realising the only way to fix is replace...but would rather buy new parts for my new bike! I'm true upset...but rant over! Thanks for listening. Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonalong Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Unlucky mate... I have bought two cheapo Trials bikes off eBay so far and luckily both were bargains! £36 for an Onza T-Bird which still rides like new (except a creaking crank) and another which came with Magura HS33's for £52! Both still ride lovely What did you go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyBoy Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I bought my first trials bike off eBay about 7 years ago - complete pile of shite. Koxx levelboss 'apparently' good working order and decent condition. Rear brake mount screws came glued into the frame, knackered maguras, dodgy headset and frame bashed to pieces. First and last time I've ever bought a bike without seeing it first! Took over a month for the guy to actually send it as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
