nbr-chris Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Right, my T-craptor has well and truly died now with the addition of back brake, mech and 4 bolt mount to the list of broken bits. The frames cracked and theres a few other bits so its pointless replacing stuff. I've decided i'm going to have to buy a new bike but i'm not sure what and i'm going to have to get it on credit which i'm guessing will narrow my options but means money is less of a problem. I'm after a bike suitable for street and natural, maybe leaning more towards natural but i really don't know what to get. Has anyone bought anything on credit and if so where from. Also any suggestions on bikes/ builds would be appreciated. Do Tarty bikes do credit?- Guessing not as theres no mention on the site and they are a fairly small bussiness but....... cheers- a very pissed off Chris :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 ONZA Woodstock is your best bet :ermm: I`m sure Bikedock do credit (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I wouldn't have thought tartybikes would've done, seeing as they've not got a standard credit card system up and running yet, and you ahve to have a license to give credit which they possibly don't have? Is there any way you could set it up with your lbs so they order one in and you pay off gradually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbr-chris Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I'l have a word with them tommorow. I doubt they will be able to get any trials bikes in. Halfords do Koxx and a couple of others so i might go for a look there. I'm very tempted by a Woodstock but i'm not sure. I've lost any remote respect i had for Onza in the last hour or so (Y) Tempted to see what Clive (i think its Clive (Y) ) at Leeson could do. Maybe if i could save up £400 i could just buy all the bits on credit. Reckon a clear with like a 1060- 1080 wheelbase would ride ok?

Mr Motivator Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 while we are talking about leesons, reckon clive could make me one in 1055 wheelbase with a +20 bb hieght? lol uci leeeson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbr-chris Posted February 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Don't see why he couldn't really. Bit concerned i was considering a leeson in 1080 lol :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I don't think he can make lesbons that long. He can't get the tubes of his jig isn't adjustable or summat I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burto Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 you could ring bikedock or go onto trialsshop http://www.trialsshop.co.uk/ both shops are not the best but if you want finance these are the main two and both supply onza (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy P Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Can't believe no ones said this yet but, surely the most simple way is to get a loan, then you can any bike from any shop....simple Bit of advise if you go for the loan idea though, shop about to find the best deal around, the RAC had the best rates when I was after one.

chrisatactiv05 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 are shop does 0% finance through blackhorse. We don't really stock trials bikes though, would have to be a custom build or sumint. Have a ali bongo, echo bounce in stock, echo forks, middleburns etc .. if interested pm me mate (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I'm very tempted by a Woodstock but i'm not sure. I've lost any remote respect i had for Onza in the last hour or so (Y) ← How come the lost respect? Anyhoo, the Woodstock is an amazingly nice bike to ride. I rode a Mk.2 prototype last Summer and it felt sooo easy on the back wheel (coming from mod, when most stocks feel like barges). The production models are basically Mk.7's, so the geometry's even better now. It's well worth having a look at it, and it's got a wheelbase closer to what you want than the Leeson that's only going to be about 1030-1035 at most. Mark.

nbr-chris Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 I was just really pissed off that the frame had only lasted about 5 months before devolping a crack and the forks flex about an inch each way but to be fair it is a cheap frame and very cheap forks (tuf guys). I think i will be going for either the Woodstock or the rex Woodstock spec and just being trialsless for a while. Just need to decide on wether i want a more UCI type bike which i think i do really. Chrisatactiv05- I'l have a think and let you know this evening. Do you have a rough price on it? I'l also give bikedock a call and see if they the rex 'woodstock' or woodstock in full builds as they only have the spec 1 and 2 rex on the site. Cheers for all the suggestions (Y) I'm quite happy now i have a reason to replace the old raptor he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Are you old enough for a credit card? That would be the easiest and most dangerous option (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davetrials Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) I'l have a word with them tommorow. I doubt they will be able to get any trials bikes in. Halfords do Koxx and a couple of others so i might go for a look there. ← and pace Halfords offer a 6month or a 10month plan 6months pay nothing no interest 10months pay all the interst in one go and nothing for 10months level boss full bike £1000 Edited February 4, 2005 by Davetrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 All you do is go to the bank and get a loan, which is cheaper than finance usually, and then you have the option to buy whatever you like, and it's easier to deal with your bank. If you are after a full Pitbull, control, python, team, BT, I have the lot :blink:. Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
