Mat Smith! Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Well i don't know as i have never ridden any of them, but the T19 looks nicer than the t-bird, don't know much info on any of them. Sorry -useless post- :"> Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Get a t-bird, that was my first trials bike and it was great!You can check out the specs on, www.airevalleycycles.com :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weewillywinky Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 have a look at a t-vee, its pretty much the same as the t-bird (i think but don't quote me) and then slap your maggies on with some mounts and you'll be saving some money to. sorry if i got my facts wrong i'm usually useless at this sort of thing.

Deonn h Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Get the T-19 definitely , my mates have these two bikes.The t-19 is a lot lighter and feels a lot better to ride.T -19 is a lot easier to learn on too and it looks 10 times better.Don`t get the t-bird. Cheers Deonn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Don't get either, both crap. Save up and get a T-pro, they are far superior. you know you want to. =lush and wont let you down. ash EDIT: the T-vee has 20" wheels and is hard to upgrade, while the T-bird has 19" wheels like most mods so Is easy to upgrade. And I don't really know much about that "T-19" thing. looks nasty though. Edited September 6, 2005 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trialridertom Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 T-Bird they look alot better than the t-19 and will be alot easier to ride (Y) (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 even though i have never had a mod i would say get the the t-bird it comes with maggies and ronnie and reggie rims, the t-vee comes with avid 3 brakes, but dont buy a t-pro how many snap each month there is no point, might aswell save up and get a koxx or a zoo but its up to you but if you buy the t-pro you will regret buying it when it snaps hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 yeah but they snap because people ride them harder than a t-bird of t-vee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arran on t-pro Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 hi i've got a t-pro and there better than t-bird and t-19 but u have to get riser bars and better forks because i find them too short.i used to have a base ta20 and that was an ok bike but the brakes let it down.if you are getting one of the two i would get the base because it is a better looking bike and if your putting maguras on it it will be even better :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModRider! Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Definitely go for t-bird their much better in my opinion. i'm hopefully getting one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emery Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 He's right ^^^ a person would find it hard and take a long time to save up like 900 pound . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) He's right ^^^ a person would find it hard and take a long time to save up like 900 pound . ← I'm gonna say the t-pro, every other bike mentioned in this thread is really an imitation of a trials bike, whereas a the pro is genuinely a budget trials bike :- Joe Edited September 10, 2005 by Josephine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 i've had a t-pro for about 2 months now and i find it handles really well. get one of them if you can. If not go for a T-bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
