3 years ago when I started to biketrial i brought a bike, I don't have a photo of it because I started to redesign it right away.
I made holes in the rims with the drill, repainted the rims, rockring into blue and one brake handle into orange, replaced some of the old parts. Also brought and installed MAGURA system.

Times change, tastes change and 2 weeks ago I decided that I don't like the colours of my bike, it was too random for "older" me. I was lazy to do all of this work again so i didn't bother because "bike was ok by performance, and that's what matters"... Then I noticed that I was riding 3 years without one important ball in my rear hub.

So since I would change my rear hub I may as well change some things in my bike to my today's tastes:

And here's the final result, I hope it's been worth it.

Trial bikes doesn't need to change them at all.
I will buy a new set up of chains and stars (I don't know the english names for the bike parts) because these was stolen from a dirt bike.
Here's how it should look:

Or with a trusty little thingy that keeps the chains from wobbles.

You're not supposed to sit on it.
Lovin' the bitchin' orange.
How much does an entry level trial bike sell for?
I took the seat of my mountain bike ages ago, so I have no issue with standing for two hours or so.
[QUOTE=war_man333;23902889]your ass would hurt like fuck on that but it's cool looking so what the hell.[/QUOTE]
You may not believe it but i feel no discomfort about not having a seat at all, I developed some strong legs on it and it's piss easy to ride like 50 or more km, but no one does that on this kind of bikes because trial is not about distance, it's about height.

You can start to learn on almost any bike with good breaks and low frame, but if you want a good trial bike for starters, 250-300 euros would be enough. But prepare to spend a lot on it in the future.
