The 280 is a bike made for experts.
My first trials bike is a 280 pro and initially I thought it was fine but as I started to try more challenging things the instant tree climbing power got me into all sorts of bother.
I have fitted a slow throttle head spacer and a flywheel weight but it is still not ideal and I now prefer riding my twinshock Fantic.
On the plus side if it had not been for getting the bike cheap I would not have tried Trials and I would have missed out on something that I really enjoy.

So a cheap 280 is OK to have a bit of a go on and see if you like it. Make sure that you fit a slow throttle with a bit of slack in the cable before you ride it.

If only this was available now Any more bargains like this in Scotland, I'm looking for a sub £1k bike in good working order to get into this...again. Used to have a 325 Bultaco Sherpa many years ago and it almost put me off trials for life
