I'm new to trials but got to thinking the other day, what's the verdict on twinshock bikes, personally I prefer older bikes to newer ones (on the road), more charachter,
whilst I can apprieciate the weight and reliabilty isses with older bikes, surely there a greater sense of achievment from competing with an older bike,
Parts availablity to one side would there be any more maintance required to keep an old montesa or bultaco fit for purpose
Would an older bike be suitable for beginners or should I stick to a new a bike as possible, funds permitting
Be good to hear what the general feeling is on here, maybe youv'e been down this road yourself, or lucky enough to own / trial both old and new
