Trials is pretty much dead in Perth. You can try the Australia section on www.observedtrials.net as there is a few riders around. You might also find a used bike for sale in there. Otherwise try www.trialshive.com, David had some nice Zhi completes, stock & mod, for around $900 a while ago.
I'm new to Trials & quite crap but keen to meet up with other riders.
yer there dunt seem to be that much activity in perth. but im keen to start riding. i just need to find a good bike. if you here of anyone selling anything give us a yell. im thinkin bout gettin an adamant a1 from david from www.trialshive.com.
once i get a bike we should try and get a group out for a ride.
cheers

I built up a Bionic from parts off a donor bike & a new frame from Trials Hive, it's very similar to the A1 frame with a slightly lower BB rise. I've heard that high BB rise is harder for beginners, the guy I bought the donor bike from initially had an A1 & found it too hard to ride & went back to the Evolve frame. Zoo Pitbulls are very popular & the Zhi completes look very nice. I'm building up a store of pallets but I can only fit 2 in my boot at a time so it's a slow process. More reason to get a ute or 4WD.
yer the bionics look nice but im not sure aye i can get an A1 for $1100 so ill probably just get that. i used to ride motorcycle trials and i ride trials alot on my stp so i am used to it but i guess well jst have to see.
I've been trying to hook up with a couple of guys from observedtrials.net for a ride for ages but haven't managed it yet. Where are you based? I really need to get out on the bike & work on my skills.
http://www.tartybikes.co.uk is a good place to shop if you're after parts, CRC also keep a small stock of Trials parts.
I've got a trials bike I was thinking of selling. It is a Cove frame, XTR V-brakes, Mavic 521 rims, Chris King rear hub (oh so sweet), etc. Not sure what I want for it, but if you're still looking, call me on 0417 984 559.
yer im based in bullsbrook wat about urself??
yer i really need to get myself a bike hahaha. nah im working on it lol.
im probably gunna be riding around at the AJS mototrials rounds and practicing there once i get a bike but not to sure yet.
I'm in Mt Nasura which is the other end of the metro area. I'm going to try & meet up for a street ride in Perth or at the Freo rocks sometime. There's some good rocks near me.
Wanted: Complete Skyway Streetbeat or Streetstyler. PM me if you see one.
hey man.
i do a bit of street riding on my stp but i need to fix it up coz it dusnt have back brakes atm.. :(
i dont know many riding places around either and thats why i want to start riding in groups around the place.
so if there is anyone with a spare set of hydraulic back brakes being sold for cheeap let me know. cheers
Keep an eye out on WA Freeride & Farkin for stuff for sale. I had Hayes cable disc brakes on my old STP2 & it was good for on/off braking, not much modulation though.
Hey guys. I'm relatively new to Perth also. I have a 24" P street so am keen as for some dirt and street rides. I live in Scarborough.
It's a bit of a drive but there is some good dirt jumps cnr Kalamunda Rd and Great Eastern By-pass. I here there is even better ones a bit further on but I haven't been yet. It would be good to get a crew together and go for a dirt session sometime. Email Dave dkossn@yahoo.co.uk - I've got a van that I could take a few bikes in and seat one other.
