ONZA T-Rex Trials Bike.

Amazing bike to ride, this bike puts a massive smile on my face - very easy to throw around, balance and control. This bike really shows why the pro competitions are still on 26" bikes (and makes me think about selling the 24" and keeping this!)

The Good bits:
Amazing to ride, freshly serviced (at great cost!) and TLC'd, it's ready to go and rides great.
I've switched to V brakes on all my trials bikes as I was sick of messing around with hydraulics.
I like my trials bikes to be strong, simple and perform well, hence switching to V Brakes, this has new onza V brakes
(the frame and forks are magura compatible if you wish to change)

Brakes are nice and snappy but could do with re-bedding in the pads to get them snappier.
24 - seven single speed hub (sealed bearings, double ratchet freewheel for high strength) on drilled rim rear.

Mostly, if you want to buy a cheap trials bike but don't want to find you have to spend a fortune getting it working once it arrives this is the bike for you as it's ready to go.

Bad Bits:
Chain device could be better (puts some friction on the chain, I'm not into crank flips or anything so hasn't been an issue, but it could do with a new roller at some point)
Rear wheel has been offset at the hub by a few mm to help fit the chain device closer to the wheel (avoid bashing it)
It's only a few mm but perfectionists will notice it - equally the rear axle doesn't go all the way through the bolt holding the wheel on, but there's plenty of thread holding it, again you can change the rear wheel and hub alignment with spacers if you wish but I think it's as good as it can get now.
Left crank arm is a replacement at the old one was bent. Its a standard forged alloy part, not something you notice much but worth mentioning.
Missing replaceable dropout for rear mech.
It's a used trials bike so has more marks and scatches than a normal used bike, but no dents or cracks.
Pedals are a bit wobbly but working fine and perfectly usable.

All that said, I've probably massively undersold this one. It's a lovely bike and ready to go play, being single speed with cable brakes means this thing is going to be a dream to maintain.

Collection welcome to avoid postage, which is eye-wateringly expensive but that's the cheapest I can find.
