trialridertom Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Its one of those bikes which is good but is not good to some people, if you get what i am on about it is the entry level bike from onza to 26" so reali its a good bike, but reali you should save up and then get a better bike :D (Y) Tom...................

James Quigley Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Well from experience i have heard of a lot of T-raptors snapping, even by beginers. I might be able to get hold of a onza T-rex frame for you. (the older version) for very very cheap. Seriously it's cheap, PM me if interested.

CurtisRider Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 by older t rex he may mean the 2003 and older 1 which is WANK, steer clear of it its the complete opposite of the new 1 then again he could mean older as in 2004.... :)" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Cook Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 I used to have the t-raptor frame. It is a veryyyy good starter bike but as you progress and start doing stuff like big drops etc etc etc it wunt be able to handle it and it would defo snap or crack like mine did.

adamtrials Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 my mates got one, he snapped it doing endos, and thats all he ever did on it... Also my ddg shooter rides way better than it, so i guess another frame would prob be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I do mean the older T-Rex, and yes it is the complete opposite of the new one. BUT my mate on wants £30 posted for it, and for a beginner it's fine. Check out some of the old Sidehop.co.uk videos. If you were thinking of buying a T-raptor then an old T-rex is much better, and for £30 I dont think you can go wrong. I will e-mail some pics when I get them.

Tony Harrison Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 No, the old T-Rex is heavy and dog. Get the T-raptor. If it's good enough for Baz Huskinsson and Chris Akrigg, then it's ideal for you to start off with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hey Earsy, the guy who's selling it is a member on here so if you PM him yourself then it would be quicker than going through me. I've told him that you will be contacting him. His member name is Spacemonkiee (not sure on spelling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
