Corish Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hello all :D Just thought I'd put a post up on how much people have put their money into trials wether they payed for it or not. I just think it will be interesting to see what people have bought and how much they've payed for their trials life. You don;t have to include everything down to dust caps/innertubes/bolts/brake bleeds if you dont want to Heres my whole trials reciept going in order from first bought part/bike (to what I remember). Onza T-Pro 2000: £40 Monty 221 X-Lite 2002: £350 Luna tyres £30 Pig headset: £20 Onza T-Pro 2004: £400 Monty Bar and Stem: £85 Koxx Bloxx: £18 New BB: £18 Muscleman cranks: £45 Foam Grips: £5 Monty Tyres: £40 Plaz Pads: £16 Fall Guys: £80 Monty Cranks: £65 ISIS BB: £35 Monty tyres: £40 Profile rear hub: £135 Front fixed cog: £20 Monty Pedals: £35 Plaz Pads: £16 Viz forks 2nd hand: £5 Monty banana bars 2nd hand: £5 Monty frame 2nd hand: £40 Monty 221Ti X-Lite 2005: £1610 Maxxis Tyres: £40 Ronnie Rim: £30 Plaz Pads: £20 (new ones off my mate... was desperate lol) Hope hub: £40 Koxx Try-All rim: £38 I think thats it....

Badboy Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Are you just talking parts here? Or would you include everything else thats goes into it, ie. fuel an travelling costs, accomodation, entry fee's etc etc. I worked out one year for MAD that I could easily spend over a grand (without including the bike an spares) on travelling an stuff! So I dont really want to work out what I have spent on this sport in the last 13 years!!!!! It will just make me :D lol An before anyone says I'm bein negative, i ride because i enjoy it other wise i wouldnt have riden for 13years! The money side doesnt bother me, I work to pay bills an do things I enjoy, ie. riding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanRs Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 (edited) Hum, well over 5 years. and being as i could do 8 ft drop offs (1 - 2 stylee) before i could kick hop!! and they wer not smooth landings! i have been through these frames... Trek (summin?) GT Zaskar LE Clubroost Stinger Hardcore frame Saracen Xlie 1 Saracen Xile 2 Saracen xile 3 Pashley 26mhz Orange Zero Mission Reffa Orange zero 2 (current bike) Wow! thats 11 frames!! and im just about to get a pitball!! hehe , they do tend to last more than a year now though, cos my riding has got a lot smoother! I would say i have spent in the reigon of £6,500 -£7,000. Jeush! But, i have made a fortune selling old parts!

Endohopper Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Too dammned much ... yet paradoxically , not enough . About 1700 euro , I expect . ( Holland .) Can't really quantify the value of what Trials has brought me , confidence , patience , fitness , buddies , erm...scars :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br3n Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 i think im close to the 5k mark, about 7 years riding i think, prolly a new bike/frame every year for whatever reason.. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
