Is Rush not a moderator on OTN? I'm sure he was fairly senior (maybe just old with lots of posts ).
Sorry Tom, feel free to lock this thread and permaban all the OTN refugees... See how they like dem apples .
I'm confused by Rush's comments... is he calling us or the OTN refugees white trash? Is he calling us or the OTN lot ridiculously undereducated? If it's us I'd have to disagree... Considering it was the Yanks who were supporting Bush, Sarah Palin and telling us their government is trying to become a forced closed state who are deliberately dumbing down the population while telling us we're a bunch of Commies. Meh.
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.
