So they warrantied my used frame, couriered a new one from italy with a matching engraved vin number. Included new hardeware , a new subframe and new stearing bearings free,of charge. Oh and bob gave me a beta hat too. Crazy good service at mountain motorsports and beta.

to those looking for bikes, facebook 99trials or craigslist or www.trialscanada.com has some used bikes too, if you want one look for one there is enough info on these pages that guys have put up, the best is to find a bike and then ask what people think if you unsure, 2000.00 - 2800.00 prepare to redo linkage, fork oil and many other worn out parts that will easily or could easily take you up another 500.00-1000.00 2800.00-4000.00 never bike but same issues with having to fix or replace certain things, 4000-5000.00 an older great used bike that has been well taken care of, 5000-6200.00 new one or two yr old bike that is ready to ride….this is a bench mark. Trials bikes are cheap to maintain, can be finicky, and the most fun or best bang for you buck EVER!!! Buy the most expensive one you can afford, you will thank me for that!
