marciszd Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 you guys didn't see the problem, im living in USA, what means that the shipping would kill me, on the other hand i said about 350 dollars, what stays for about 200 pounds. i know i wont get a good bike for that money, maybe you can get me some good models or something like brands i should look for - after taking a look in tardybikes know what is reliable more or less, but more knowledge would help me a lotthanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneNew Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Try www.webcyclery.com or www.trialsin.com I think there the main trials places in the usa. Also the main US forum is www.observedtrials.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 onza- t-vee you say your from USA? why does it say your from cardif HMM.Yanks are almost as bad No offense to either side - couldn't resist it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 your best off looking at second hand bikes with that sort of budget in mind. observedtrials.net is your best place to start have a look see if there are any for sale in price range there. and also check ebay. your best looking at a 20" bike as you'll more likely to get a reasonable bike for your money. if your unsure about the specs of anything you find just post the links to them on here and one of us will be able to help you out craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marciszd Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) you guys are awesome. i am not actually a yank, im in USA for last 4 years, i got there from poland. i was on that forum, but somehow yanks are not that helpful as you guys. maybe my card doesn't say that im in US, but i was just filling it out fast, i was at work. thanks for sites info mates peace/i edited my profile, there shall be no problem now/ Edited April 14, 2007 by marciszd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 For the love of god please dont get that bike. Look at anybike in the onza range they are great starter bikes. Look on tartybikes and only buy a bike with a brand that they have on the site as they are all the trials specific brands and the best brands and base aswell do ok starter bikes.

marciszd Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 (edited) well i found this one - the guy said that will send me the pictureshttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ADME:L:RTQ:US:1cheers Edited April 14, 2007 by marciszd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 sounds ok, hassle getting it shipped over from the uk plus you'd have to check customs charges and so on. apart form that sounds goodcheck this just for ideas http://cgi.ebay.com/BRISA-B20-Trials-bicyc...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marciszd Posted April 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 thats what he said, "no clue about shipping to us". that brisa doesn't look bad, but i didn't heard much about that brand /im new to trials, trying to move from bmx/. he doesn't specify shipping too. how do you find those bikes? i found it hard to get any of them on ebay, maybe because in US trials are not that popular. thank for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marciszd Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 i also found this one - i think that one will suit me. http://buysell.nsmb.com/showproduct.php/product/7536/cat/14cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob's Botty Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Get a saracen 2 zero, then put maggies on it, and apparently you can fit a 19" trials wheel on the rear by just moving the wheel further in the dropouts and taking a couple of links out the chain. great starter bike, lots of people i know said it rides a lot better than they thought.Quite short though, depends how you like it THANKS BOBS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marciszd Posted April 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 i think i will enjoy short bike more, since im moving from bmx. maybe later /next season/ i will get long one. but deff it will be mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackZOO! Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 You should save up more money and look into investing in a onza t bird or even a onza t pro.
