Hello im looking for a danny macaskill type of bike, at a price range of 400 pounds give or take,
i was thinking that the second hand path is the one to tread.
any advice would be appreciated.
I know this topic has come up but with no definitive answer.
thanks

    Second hand.


    I'd start with a strong frame, wheels and crank. Build from there.

    a Street/Trail bike or Street/Trials bike or a Dirt Jump bike? Street trials bikes generally have rigid forks and are single speed or have very few gears

    Any DJ bike will do street etc, loads to choose from, specialized P1, Dmr drone/reptoid are decent bikes and not too hard to find second hand.

    If your after new a review in this months mag highly rates the YT industrys Romp, or if your going custom Deity crypt keeper frame to start.
