I'm looking at getting a new school bike and have seen a few WTP 2015 Crysis,Reason and Versus.I want one just for riding out on street maybe down local skatepark ive noticed that the Crysis and reason are freestyle and the versus is jump is there much difference in way they ride?Cheers

No idea mate, I've never ridden a WTP but lots do. Have you checked their web site? maybe it's to do with subtle geometry differences? maybe the jump one has a lower BB or something?

From what I gather though they are nice rides

Obie_1 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 06, 2016, 10:46 AM »

Thanks I'll have a look at there site only dif I can see is slightly gripper tyres.Im open to recommendations on bikes?Cheers again.

pickle · « **Reply #3 on:** April 06, 2016, 11:04 AM »

No worries, like I say lots of people swear by them as being good quality.

How old and tall are you? what's your budget?

Obie_1 · « **Reply #4 on:** April 06, 2016, 12:29 PM »

I'm old 42 and about 5ft4" ish.Budget roughly 300 could go bit higher hence looking at last years models.Its not gonna get much abuse as I only did basics years ago.Cheers

pickle · « **Reply #5 on:** April 06, 2016, 12:32 PM »

Cheers for the advise.ive seen locally a 2012 Wtp trust new in 2014 it's been upgraded with a odysey lever,rearcalliper pads and gyro,alienation skylark brake less front wheel a primo balance rear wheel with Cult match hubs.Looks in really good condition.Wants bout £350 for it,Any good or should I keep looking'thanks Again.

pickle · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2016, 02:01 PM »

for that sort of money it would need to be upgraded with top parts otherwise I'd spend that on a new complete from last years models.

do you have any pictures or links?

what Rob said ^

some bargains to be had if you don't mind last year's model, much cheaper than building custom & you can always upgrade later
if you're going second hand then only way to justify that sort of money is something high spec, new school stuff depreciates quite a bit

Obie_1 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 08, 2016, 02:33 PM »

Cheers both,haven't a clue how to link etc can give you eBay item no 172156301963 hope that'll work.Thanks again.

pickle · « **Reply #13 on:** April 08, 2016, 04:06 PM »

the only thing i can see that he's upgraded are the wheels and I don't see £350 worth to be honest even though Cult hubs are nice.

If I were going to spend £350 I'd go for a new bargain from Custom riders

Obie_1 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 08, 2016, 04:13 PM »

Ok I'll have a look again.Out of curiosity what would you pay for it?Cheers

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** April 08, 2016, 04:29 PM »

no more than £250 i think but I'd need to see it first.

As Griff says, New school bikes depreciate like mad unless they're proper custom builds from the frame upwards.

That looks just like a WTP complete with new wheels/Hubs

pickle · « **Reply #16 on:** April 08, 2016, 04:38 PM »

I'm not normally one to recommend Winstanleys but these deals are too good to pass up on if you're looking for a bargain new bike

No kidding, the spire one looks very decent indeed

pickle · « **Reply #20 on:** April 08, 2016, 09:15 PM »

Absolutely, id have one if I was looking for a new bike

insectbones · « **Reply #21 on:** April 09, 2016, 07:42 AM »

If you're dead set on having a WTP, do a bit of research on the frame of the bike, quite a lot have Hi-Ten tubes.

The Zodiac and Volta are the top of the range completes from WTP. Full 4130 tubing etc.

There was a nice unmessed with Zodiac on Ebay for £140 a couple of weeks back.

Obie_1 · « **Reply #22 on:** April 09, 2016, 09:55 AM »

WTP was just a brand I saw at first and kept looking at on net I'll look into there frames cheers.Must admit that premium spire looks good for the money again Ild never heard of them until yesterday.Cheers

Munnyella · « **Reply #23 on:** April 10, 2016, 07:31 PM »

I have a spare bike I need to move on, its a WTP fully cro-mo frame, 20.75" (can't remember the name, but can look!) United dinero forks, unused wheels and cranks, decent bits throughout, built it as a 2nd rider, barely use the 1st!! . i'd be open to offers on it as the money could be used on my ~~breast augmentation~~ new project!

PM me if you want to chat.
