I've been running one for the past 5 months or so and really like it. I used Kool chains for years which have a 1300kg rating and the Lite is 1200kg which is still plenty beefy enough in my mind. You're losing less than 8% in overall 'strength' while being over 10% lighter which makes it worth a go.
I'm not quite sure about the 'seat tube'. Kinda looks out of place a little because it almost looks like it's a continuation of the toptube and it's also not quite attached to the BB etc... It looks like a right bitch to wels too! At the risk of copying Koxx and lots of other frames out there I'd be tempted to try something a little more 'standard' to openn the frame up a bit and give it a less solid look, either with one central tube or twin smaller tubes. Sorry for the lack of Paint skillz.

I've had this conversation with Andy Green (Comic Book Guy) before- we reckon the best bet would to be to have a completely separate brand (like Zona but maybe a little less obvious!) to release the Pro Series under and leave Onza as the more mainstream and more budget/beginner bikes. Would make lots of marketing sense in my opinion.
P.S. Frame looks quite interesting, look forward to seeing some more pics as a full build and maybe a bit of colour/decals.
But from what I've seen Obama actually has a brain... And the other bloke had Sarah Palin as his deputy- biggest mistake ever? I think so. To be honest there's no way I'd live in the States and to be honest I'm going to try my best not to visit at all... You'll be glad to hear!! Anyway, you're right. Happy Christmas to everyone and enjoy Hogmanay/New Year or whatever you guys celebrate!
I expect it to be extinguished and put in a bin... Chucking it on the street is littering and you may as well be chucking your food wrappers cans and whatever else on the pavement. Both are inconsiderate and piss me off .
27 and been riding for about 12 years. Am better now than I've ever been although I don't necessarily do as silly things as I used to but still go bigger dimension-wise.
You say that but the way US Presidents are elected is pretty gay if you ask me. There is nothing to do with what the 'party' believes in or what they're going to do for the country and all about spending the most money in a pathetic popularity contest. It makes me cringe so much when I see all those morons whooping and cheering for someone they've probably been paid to cheer for. Plus if you think about it, Bush was elected in even though he's a total moron. That means that the majority of those who voted picked him. Making the majority of voters retards. That just wouldn't happen in the UK. In fact he'd never get near the head of the party because someone would step in and tell them there's no chance they'd ever be elected in so maybe they should find a different career... Not sure what you're getting at with the Blair comment but Tony Blair was a well educated, well spoken guy who you could believe kinda knew what he was talking about and what was going on. I don't think Bush could add 7 and 5 together unless he was wearing sandals.
There are loads of options. Just have a look at the 24" MTB tyres on Tarty or Chain Reaction. Kenda Blue Grooves are great but fairly heavy, Maxxis make (made?) 2.5" Slow Reezay High Roller's and now do 2.7"s I think. Depends what you want really but I'm sure there are enough out there to stop it from being an issue.
You can still read the topics about rides so you know when and where a ride is happening and roughly who will be there. To get validated you just need to put a little more effort into your posts. Silly things like capital letters at the start of sentences and using the spell checker will help things go faster.
