Besides upgrading my hardtail to a full sus I want a good trials bike to start with. I had a Kona Scab with the very bright green Hs33s back when the Martins ruled the pages of MBUK! But since then I have focused on the freeriding craze.

I would like to get back into it and was wondering it the Diamondback Kabuki Mono is worth starting with? It seems good for the price at just shy of £600.

Thats how much I want to pay.
