Still have the standard 30mm TY forks on my bike but there in a right old mess, don't really what to fit larger forks, I ride easy and club mans routes and they do me fine.

Give everything a good wobble and shake. Any bad rattles, bits not working or hanging off then bargain. Hard!
As long as the bike appears to be in good nick then you should be fine. Find out if the owner is an enthusiast and that the bike has not been used as a field hack or toy.
Phoned the guy up earlier today bought it for his son summer last year who then wanted a scooter. He rides enduro said trials not for him so it has to go.
Ok I,ve tracked down a couple of bikes to have a look at for my first modern (ish) trials bike, 1997 Beta techno250 and a 99 315.
From the photos I have seen the 315 has had a bit of use but has Been serviced and has new chain and sprockets
The techno looks mint with very light use.
I was only going to look at the 315, but for the sake of a gallon of fuel I may as well look at them both. Both bikes are under a grand with the techno 300 less than the 315.
Anyway is there anything special I should look for in either bike and your recomendations.
