Ashton justice a gd choise?
first trials bike.
- Thread starter Fast_Track
- Start date
Heh, my first trials bike was a 96 GT timberline so this can't be any worse.
Seriously though the Ashton is a good choice, also check out Echo, Koxx and Adamant. Or even something like the Lenosky STP from Giant.
Go to this site, good people, awesome deals.

For those looking for a first trials bike, your best bet is to check out the online trials forums (buy/sell sections). There are always folks upgrading or moving between stock and mod that are unloading completes at a good price.
Purchasing a new trials bike is not cheap, especially in the US as there are few options. The primary online retailers in the US are:
[B]www.webcyclery.com[/B]
[B]www.midwestbiketrials.com[/B]
[B]www.trialsin.com[/B]
Another option is to work with the bike that you have now and learn the basics, then decide whether it is worth it for you to make the jump to a trials-specific bike. Lots of people perform trials moves on XC, urban, street, or dirt-jump style hardtails.

Dirt Rag just reviewed it. Complete bike $800
Will def. want to upgrade it eventually, but it's a lot of bang for the buck to get into it.

Well my thougts on this are as follows. I bought a complete Onza T-Raptor LE, it came with Maggie HS33's and has been extremley reliable and light. I ride it hard in skateparks and urban. I would highly recommend it as a starter bike. I picked mine up second hand for 200Euro. A total bargain at that price. Cheers Glenn
