my uncle has my old 175 for his son so cant sell really, but, twin shock, basic, easy to ride and work on and also very reliable, i spent my schoolboy trials days riding it and have a few lil trophies for it. great bikes, if you manage to find one i have a manual somewhere for any tech info you may need, may have to dig through attic though, have a look on trials club sites at free adds etc, may find one, they still be about. pretty bullet proof Smile

I had a TY175 when i was 13, me and me dad re-built it with a chromed frame, and loads of new parts. It was one of the best bikes ive ever had, and the best non road bike ive ever owned. I loved the sound of the motor, and for a 175cc 2 stroke it had tonnes of bottom end torque and power, so much so that it makes my amittedly slightly knackered KMX200 feel like a race tuned 80cc, and really peaky. The TY is easy to ride, but what trials bike aint? and its also easy to work on. The Points ignition was a git, tho as it always seemed to let water in somewhere. if you can find a half decent TY then go for it. they are becoming pretty rare now tho!
