drake Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi I have been looking for a bike to start trials but nothing much has come up in S,Wales. Ther is a 1999 GG250 which has just surfaced. It is 6 speed with hydraulic clutch. Are there any issues with the older bikes I should be aware of, or should I just wait for a newer model to come along? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 as long as it is in good condition its a good bike to start with.more reliable than a early pro.if you get at a good price you will almost get your money back when you sell it .

rosey Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 No trials bikes are made that well (regardless of the brand), so often they are all pretty worn out especially 11-12 years old! However in terms of robustness and general ridability the 'pre pro' models are better bikes than the later models. If its a good example go for it...

As with any used bike, assume nothing has been done in terms of maintenance and service everything, especially all bearings (steering stem, linkage etc.).
