  1. Hello, I’m new to the forum and don’t even have a bike yet. I need some veteran help from you guys in regard to finding the right set up. I live in Bend, OR and have access to public land from my house with a few hundred of miles of single track, open clear cuts with boulders and small canyons with plenty of obstacles to make you go - damn i need a trials bike. I ride a 05 KTM 400 exc and absolutely love it. There’s no question trials riding helps immensely with your performance on a dirt bike and that’s partially the reason I’m attracted to trials. I’m 6’4” 235lbs, grew up riding dirt bikes from a 50cc on up. My gpas good friend had an old gas gas that i played around on a few times when i was 12 or so - 28 now so essentially no real trials experience. I stand up most of the time when i ride so that should translate well. Always been a trail rider, no mx. once i find a bike I assume I’ll need to do risers/taller bars. any tallish riders out there with advice on comfortable set up? I don’t want to buy new unless you convince me otherwise. Winter is here so i have time to find the right bike, but just want to know what bikes you think i should be looking for. 2 stroke or 4 stroke?model years? Brands? Previously had great experience putting want-to-buy ads on Craigslist, so maybe I’ll try that. There’s not a ton used trials for sale - but i know they are out there.. somewhere. Sorry for the long one, but i figure more information the better if I’m asking for advice. please, inundate me with info, opinions, facts, whatever. Thanks in advance! Cheers
