beepee Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 I'm looking at getting into trials for fun, been on bikes all my life but never trials for some reason. I have the chance of a Montesa 315r 2000 model. It looks a bit rough but Im told its mechanically sound. How much is it worth ? tinkering with bikes isn't a problem either, in fact I'd expect to be doing it anyway. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hi, I'm sure you will get addicted once you get started, I can't help you with the value of the Montesa but the Stevenstone MCC is in your area and they are a great bunch.

beepee Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) well that was an experience ! travelled all the way to penrith on sunday to do a deal with my suzuki jimny and 2 trials bikes............they were absolute dogs and I never took them even with an offer of £400 on top ! 1 was a 98 beta 350 I think and the other a 2000 montesa 315r. Looked like 2 bing bikes, free for all have a go and little sign of maintenance, more like patch it and go again. I think they would have been more trouble than they were worth.

dan williams Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Smart to walk away. Have patience and a good one will make an appearance. Look for a bike owned by a senior class rider. They tend not to get beaten and the riders have the resources to properly fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
