Oh god.

Didn't think you did rocks Fletch?!

That's the point- Vincents bike is his uber light comp only frame which he probably replaces once every couple of months. Joe Public however will want to buy this bike expecting a couple of years solid use. If it can be made strong enough then of course it's not a problem.

Does it matter? Just PM him and ask. Latest vid seems to be on a Zoo Pythony looking thing though.

I'm with Rowan here, but I think it's more about the way all these new Onza frames have been 'released'. They were shown to the public (us) last month in a fashion that made them appear like almost final designs but it seems that they were pretty much one off proto's at the start of a (hopefully) lengthy test period. The frame overall looks good but I really don't like the deliberately dented toptube and the headtube looks just a bit too overmachined for a production frame (as Rowan pointed out with regards Mr Hermance). Also, if you ride it in the rain, does the whle frame fill up with water or are you going to put drainage holes in the BB shell?

The wall is one brick wide, followed by a cavity maybe a foot wide then another brick wide wall- so the top's about 18" total wide, then maybe a 5ft drop. The picture of Dave A (mrkoxx) sidehopping is up the otherside of the same wall... his back wheel's where my back wheel's about to be... if that makes sense.

I think it's Prawn on Steve Tse's Dob... I had to look twice though!

I agree- that is quite a strange one. I take it the top 3 in elite were all on 26" then James Hyland on 20"?

Bit of a stab in the dark here... my guess would be a Monty X-Lite 221. Your post doesn't really give us much to go on though. Edit: Damn you RossMcd... Can probably tell you the year if you tell us what colour it is... Ones I can remember are blue, green and yellow, plus the obligatory brushed.

Ah, but you used a tap... Straight up to back for the win (first time ) Nobody was filming it though were they, it was only Andy that got a still.

Has been covered in the Tensile news section and Waynio (or Scott) also made a bike pics thread for it too. Concensus seems to be that it's a budget version of the Rohloff which can't be a bad thing!

Liar!

How was the weather in the end?

But the worse it is if it goes wrong!

I think I just did...

C- Must try harder. imageshack -> browse -> host it! -> wait for upload -> copy the code from the 'direct link to image' box -> edit your first post and click the little 'Insert Image' button and paste in the code. Should do it.

I agree. Get the damn picture up... I'm intrigued by this Mission/Beta description...

It's mainly about the preload, that is kind of initialising the spin before you take off and twisting your head and shoulders in the direction you want to spin... can you do 180's/360's from a trackstand position (i.e. stationary)? That would be the starting point and then try them rolling slowly once you've sussed out what you need to do. Not sure if that's of much use but just keep trying and you'll get there. Doubt it's of much use either but here's a vid of a fat American BMXer with bad facial hair explaining how to do 180's...

:$

Am I the only one who can't see anything?

Must be seriously light... Am I missing something?

Trials seems to be getting a smaller and smaller role at Nass... doubt I'll make it/bother.

That's the weekend of the Pompy DJ ride. Will probably be saving myself for the Sunday but if you do come down can easily come out for a play in Soton on the Saturday Ben.

Damn Americans are thick! I'd probably speed up hoping there was a rope there and thus messing up the kids faces... Should probably be in best of the internet though
