People need to stop Bitching and show more respect to Onza, if it wasnt for them, I (and probably a lot of people) wouldnt ride trials, if it was expensive...
you wouldn't buy a KOXX straight away would you?
I think its better for a company to take the 'customers' in mind, rather then there own profit,
plus anyone could get into it like younger people because they could get there parents to buy them a bike for xmas, because they wouldn't buy a bike with no seat for over £1000 would they?
and yh they might not all have the best parts as standard, long forks etc but you wouldnt notice it staright away would you? as trials is new to you
Im surprised they did that anyway? Its a trials bike, its gonna brake and snap, your bashing it on concrete/rocks/rails??
I had a ice 2, bashed it on rails etc, dented the frame, ran a bash plate, bent that, and it didnt snap?
sure it was 'minimal impact'? i cant see why mine was ok and yours wasnt?
some people like bash plates so you can land flat on an object, rings rock too much, so i suppose the options open to more people
i cut my bash mount off my T-pro to save weight (the 1 under the BB) and it saved about 400g got it down to 8.3kg
BTW: I dont mean to offend anyone im just saying what i think and there customer service is spot on,
my first bike was a high spec 2005 T-mag with magura louise, Smart guy forks, tensile cranks and FW, tensile brake mounts, Onza carbon bars and T-master stem for like £500, and if i ever need anything, they sort it there and then, even stayed open past closing time to bleed my brake for me when i bought braided hose's and there cheaper on a lot of stuff then tartybikes (no offence Adam lol)
