ecko_joe Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 i am a begginer and would like to get into trials, could anyone give me any information on what bike to get as i am not to experienced with it at all. my friend has got a onza t-pro but i think that bike is too good for begginers and have been told that something like a mission prodigy is just the thing.

GAZ T Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) if you don't want the t-pro due to the fact that you think its too good for begginers then id reccomend a onza t-bird because for 330 pounds you cant go wrong and i'm sure you can pick up a second-hand one for allot cheapermy brother has had his t-bird for a year now and hes progressed so much on just that wich shows even when you get better on the bike its still a decent bike to rideor if your on a even tighter budget then go for a onza t-vee the only main difference is the t-vee has vee brakes wich isn't really that big of a problem, it all comes down to what budget you have.hope ive helped ........GAZ........

Barbra Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 No the onza t-pro isn't too good for beginners, its the perfect bike for beginners, as it will last when you start getting better, Look at some of tom amesbury's video's on his t-pro. He did have 3 frames lol, but just look at how good he was on an onza t pro. So the t pro lasted him a while. I'd say no to a mission prodigy, as its known that the parts are made of cheese and just die alot of the time. What your best off doing is searching ebay and the forum obviously for a second hand t-pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecko_joe Posted August 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 thanks for the advice everyone but a few poeple around my area are sellin onza t-birds which i have heard are good for begginers, they are very cheap, only 60quid and 80quid. cheers anyway.joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koop. Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hey, I wouldn't worry too much about what particular make and model of bike you get. I'd say get what is cheap and available and not to bother too much about frame sizes etc. As long as the bike is remotely "trialsy" its going to be okay to start riding on. A lot of people start on their standard non-trials bike and get a long way on that without having to fork out money on a trials specific bike and then realise they're bored of trials. So I say get any low framed hardtail you can and practice loads and then you can get a super expensive steed and be confident that you know exactly what you want from the bike!

Matt B Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 You cant go wrong with a second hand t-pro there really nice to ride and you can pick a second hand one up for nothink now. Also a t-pro would last you Once you get better you can upgrade, i started off with a t-bird but soon brought a new t-pro frame off ebay for 80 workes a treattrust me t-pro Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willsey Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 i would say a T-pro as you can begin on it and really get into on it.. then maybe get a stronger frame, like a zona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monty boi Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Personally i'd go for a t-bird because there are cheap, great to learn on and look pretty tasty for a beginner bike too, it also depends on how tall you are wether you want to ride 20" or 26"? and what geometry suites you. take your time in choosing and dont go rushing into anything, have a think about it then make a decision.

EchoOz Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm going to have to go with the onza t-bird its a great bike for beginners really sets you up nicely. I started on a t-bird along with a few others and we all loved it really helped us get going and settle in to trials. T-pro is also a really good bike, but its not up to anyone else its your choice.Oz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STC Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 hey 26" and 20" are good bikes to start off with i stared off with a 20" then i went up to 26" which i am now riding onza t-rex gold n black chrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roly Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hi,I bought a second hand T-Pro off ebay and it was a bit knackered and I didn't really like it. I sold it and bought a second hand zoo python and the difference was amazing. I have to sell that now, its on ebay at the minute because I also have a stock, but it seems its harder to find decent second hand stock bikes cheap. My mate has the Onza T-Mag and I think thats a lot better than the T-Pro, his was £200 on ebay. It doesn't matter too much though as you'll probably smash up your first bike anyway...

krel Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ive just started on here and I cant start a new thread so here goes. about 5 month ago I bought a new da bomb pro team magura and ive had loads of trouble with the crank arms which I replaced and ive had problems with them also they keep coming loose even though i have tightened the bolts on well and used threadguard to secure them but they still manage to come undone. I havnt been ridin very long and this bike is keepin me from doin so. Im gonna strip the frame down to the bare bones and hopefully sell 2 raise a bit of cash 2wards a better frame. how much roughly would it be worth? its in pretty googd condition with a few small scratches here and there but overall very tidy.
