williams Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome to the forum! As you said that you would rather buy a second hand bike, have a look in the "for sale" section:) The best websites to buy parts,complete bikes etc is either www.tartybikes.co.uk, or www.trialsaddict.com. If you want a brand new bike for a good price, have a look on tartybikes offer on the "Onza bird". It's a decent bike for a beginner. How much do you want to spend on a bike btw?

Danny00135 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Have you got any photos of it? look out for freewheel, also inspect it for any hairline cracks that the seller hasn't told you about.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny00135 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Doesn't look as bad as I was expecting it to be.. All i'd do to it is: De-sticker it, new forks (not sure but I think the ones you have are steel) same goes for stem and bars. Other than that you've got yourself a nice build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
