A friend and myself are both interested in obtaining, or further exploring the idea of Trials riding. I have had serious difficulty discerning the location of any shops in the central NJ area that may sell and preferably stock a variety of trials bikes. I imagine there are probably some further north because its flat here.
I have been doing research for the last week and am interested in a 20" Mod bike to start out on preferably new but will consider used. My friend on the other hand has just became after I introduced him to the sport via internet videos. He is heading to Boston MA for a week or so. I would assume there is a better chance of finding a well stocked and knowledgeable shop up there.
Can anyone assist me in locating a bike shop that sells 20" mods around the central NJ area or even possibly in Manhattan, I go there every 3 months, or even in the Boston MA area; listed in order of importance.
We are just looking to mess around locally and don't want to travel often. As far as I know there probably are not many trials riders in this area because of the relatively flat terrain. If I knew any I could rely on them for advice but I don't.
I am kind of opposed to buying a bike sight unseen off the internet despite the likely hood of it being the easiest way to obtain a trials specific bike. I am still in the process of gathering as much info as possibly so that I am able to make an informed decision and fear I would regret the purchase of a used bike for one reason or another.
Thanks
