Captain Scarlet Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well you've probably heard my opinions on this Lee, but I'll post them up anyways.I wouldn't get a bike that spends all of your budget, £1300 is a lot to spend, think of what else could be bought.Secondly we are still starting out, if your learning new stuff all the time whatever you buy is gonna take a beating.I'd get the complete Zona from SuperCycles, then change some of the bits to suit your liking.Or get some cheap rims/forks/cranks/etc and then get the frame.Up to you though, another option would be to buy second hand, that could really save you a bit.I'd like to see you on a Zona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Rankin Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 if you are just starting out what is the point i spending 1300 squid on a bike that will take a pasting? go for something slightly more heavy duty, the zip would be a good choice imo. a really good bike wont make you a really good rider.

Captain Scarlet Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Well Lee isn't really starting out, he has had his Stock for a while now and is definately progressing at trials very fast. All the stuff he has learnt to do, he does well.All I'm thinking is that when you learn new things or get better at the stuff you do, there will be a margin for error, the bike is gonna get a beating and suffer cosmetically in the beginning stages of its life.Hence why I'd rather see you on a decent second hand bike, or a new mid range bike.
