peter_t Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 This is my first trials bike, think it is original exept for the brakes and cranks (didn't come with the bike). Probably not the best but it was dirt cheep:) It feels very odd but i guess this is normal? Im used to riding mountain bikes. Im curious to know how old it is?

Jake. Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thought of old Montys at first but that's got a different shape to all the old mods I know. It kinda looks like a new style version of the old mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 some guy who was selling one advertized it as 1996 onza t-pro if i´m right youre riding a collectors item mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazza1414 Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 cheers dazza, where they not very popular? iv never seen another one. Not sure how popular they were over all but my friend sold several as they had the 4 bolt magura option over the cheaper t-bird model and they were cheaper than the higher range t-master.

Blake Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Yeah that is a well old t pro. Probably not the best rising thing by a long way but if you get to an alright level on that, like sidehops bigger than your wheels and gap around 5/6 foot then youll be mad on a decent bike. Just try avoid riding a nice bike or you'll realise how dated your geo is and hate your bike haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezmtber Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Its definitly earlier than 1999. 1996 sounds pretty close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try avoid riding a nice bike or you'll realise how dated your geo is and hate your bike haha Is it just the hight of the top tube that makes it a bit rubbish or are there other reasons that make the geo dated? I think it will serve me fine for a while, side hops and gaps are a long way off! Im still working on track stands and pivots at the moment. Is it strange that i find it easier to track stand on a mountain bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom bracket height will be very low which is what makes it so dated, I also assume the chainstays are pretty long and the wheelbase short. Just stick to it until the bike is actually holding you back. See so many kids on here with there +80bb bikes doing 1ft pedal ups and it just makes you wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
