flyawayonadorito Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 I am a beginner at riding trials. I have broken 3 bikes trying to practice. I need a bike that is meant for trials. I live in Florida, USA. It doesnt seem that there are any dealers who sell trials bikes in the US. It seems they are all UK based. I found a site....tartybikes.co.uk, that for once has a bike for under $1000 dollars. I am looking into one of the Onza bikes. Is this an ok bike to start trials with? Are there other options? Any reply would be much appreciated.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isah Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 observedtrials.net is the us forum and www.webcyclery.com the american dealer, way cheaper than in the uk btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Getting a bike sent over from the UK will cost a bit, however, i don't know what shops sell what over there. I'm sure there's an Onza importer.However, depending on how much your willing to spend. The t-vee, t-bird, t-pro and even the t-mag are all good bike to start with. The higher up the list you can go the better. The t-pro and t-mag are really good for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomtrials Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Get the best bike you can afford no need to spend too much if you are just starting out. No need to buy from over here as the other guys have said will be tonnes cheaper from the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyawayonadorito Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Wow, thanks for all of the help. What a friendly forum. I will def keep it posted on what I decide to get. Thanks alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i'd reccommend getting the 'onza t-mag spec 1' its an ace bike, strong it looks quite nice, it's about $933 so if you was to buy from tartybikes you would have some money to have her posted to your country.i've had a few goes on my mates and it feels really nice! it is a very good bike for a biginner and once you have got a lot better it is still a great bike to use!!this is well worth getting if you want to ride a mod!if you want to ride a stock then i'd reccommend buying the; 'onza t-rex spec1' the frame on this bike is very strong looks nice especially with the cool flame design thing. it is a longish frame but it is still very nice to ride.good luck in finding the right bike mate, hope you find a decent shop in america that sells trials bikes!
