prw Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi,i would maybe look for a Beta Techno, they are good solid bikes and i have seen some nice ones at trials.If you are not sure what to look for in a used machine then take someone with you who is, they will be able to check out the condition of the bike and if any work needs doing assess how much time and money is involved.
