dann2707 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks for the proper advice UK-Spawn, its in good condition, i just wanted a simple "yes it worth it". Hahahahaha. He is simply asking if its worth it for a beginner I would say yes for sure if its in good condition this is why this forum is dying a death because u can't ask a simple question and get a simple answer instead u get insults like that from childish people ! Rant over And I, who has had first hand experience with this frame as a beginner and cracked the frame myself on the weld at the seat stays, would say it is not. This was in 2006 when I was learning how to pedal hop and drop off 1 foot walls. The forum is dying a death because it's 15 year olds who come on, ask for advice and throw the toys out of the frame when they hear stuff they don't want to! Am I really on my own here? f**kkkkkkAnd even more to add to that, I bought a great condition T-pro for £80 on Gumtree in 2010 and if you look on the bike pictures, Ben bought a near new onza pro for under £100. Both far superior bikes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I'm with dan 100%. Don't ask for advice then when people help you tell them they're wrong. Point is that youre a newb to this sport and everyone who's experienced will often correct you so get used to it. In regards to the bike there are far better bargains out there 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for how they ride, if you're getting it to be your first bike, it pretty much doesn't matter because you'll just be doing backhops and wheelie drops for ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dngr2self Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 There are better deals but you might have to wait a while to find one. With regards to the frame cracking, you need to ask yourself if it's worth the risk. I wouldn't say so but it's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otacon Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I never said he was wrong he was just being abit arrogant, i just wanted to know about how they ride, how the geomotry feels like..etc You never once asked that. You asked is it worth it for the price. Thats it. I thought my picture would of been enough to put you off. Obviously not, its your choice, id ADVISE you not to get it. But meh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Why don't you use the toxsin frame you have? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah point... You could build that from parts brought on here 2nd hand fror that much + would have better components then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie123 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah point... You could build that from parts brought on here 2nd hand fror that much + would have better components then. Surely building that frame up would cost more then just getting a 2nd hand bike?? Unless i just ride it till it brakes and replace the frame with the toxsin? What you think..I only have £140 at the moment though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 You could get everything on here for that. Bar maybe 1 or 2 things.. Then as ur building it up save up for the bits u couldnt afford. + you wil learn the bike, how its put together, where everything goes and how its supposed be. When somthing brakes u will know how to identify and fix it... Id say you could get bars n stem for 40 brakes just have a back to start with, wheels u could get new set for 99quid so second hand... Jusr have a look around... Bet u could do itfor 180... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could build one up, but the thing is i just want to get a complete bike so i can quickly learn on, then start upgrading it....Im just gonna keep looking for a good deal i reckon, but yeh not a bad idea Edited May 20, 2013 by Ollie123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Controversy alert: My Onza Mag lasted at least 3 years of me absolutely torturing it before it cracked. I was about 8 stone at the time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_SPAWN Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Yeah im light too and never broke anything despie landing hard on downtubes on wall edge etc, worst i done is a dent... I guess the more u weigh the more damage occurs when you do bash somthig... Think thats basic physics - if u weighed 500lbs and tried to do a drop off i bet youd break a lot off things lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
