Fixed Pants™ Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 You're all forgetting he's from Canada, in this case, he'd be better off being told the bike and him finding it from a Canadian shop...I'd say an onza T-Pro...

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 You'll be fine, you may find that the parts such as forks and frame won't last as long as 'lighter' people but that'll only be a slight speed up of wear/use.Trying asking on OTN (ObservedTrials.net, sorry for naughty naughty forum linking) for shops in Canada.

Owen Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 The Trialsin' Shop is in Canada, as well as HB Trials. Both are really awesome shops owned by great people. The Trialsin Shop is on the west coast, while HB Trials is in Quebec, so depending on your location, either is a good bet. I'm in B.C., but I usually hit up Hugo at HB Trials simply because he accepts paypal, and I don't have a credit card. Shipping is really fast, too. The only problem is that you won't really find any cheap complete bikes at either. The Baia brothers in B.C. are Monty retailers (parts, complete bikes, the whole shebang) if I'm not mistaken, so give them a call if you're looking for a monty (which is a good bet) Baia Bros.Lastly, and probably what I would do, just go to biketrials.ca or observedtrials.net and look for a second-hand bike. You could get a pretty decently specced second-hand mod or even a stock for $850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flas12345 Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 i would go for either a 'onza t-bird' or a 'onza t-pro' they are very good stating bike i think. i started on a onza t-pro and it was amazing to start on, i am still riding it now and i love it. you could get a decent second hand one off ebay. i have seen loads of good ones on there go for good money, i would look there mate.hope i have helped.

Mr Rankin Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 i would go for a cheap monty allday long, cant ault how they ride. Failing that i would look into the onza range as a good value for money starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
