michilinman Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Just wondering what's a onza bird 2009 is like to ride etc. I'm watching one at the moment and just wanted a bit of advice on whether its worth bidding on or how much its worth, its got quite a few scratches? THANKS p.s is the back V brake decent? Edited October 24, 2010 by michilinman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ_ONeill Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I have to say they're not that bad lol. I wanted an Onza Pro 2010, really badly, but I saw an Onza Bird '09 on Gumtree. Bought it for £100, then after a bit took it for a service and bought myself an Onza Master riser stem and Tensile riser bars - once some of the weight goes off the front end its such a well balanced bike I'm still learning on mine at the minute but it's really not a bad first bike. I weigh 10 stone 4 and the V-Brake holds fine, but I upgraded the pads to the new Onza Ice pads - More stopping power and more squeek! lol Only problem I can find with mine is that when you get to higher obstacles, then your down on ground clearance compared to a lot of other bikes. And like I said, there is quite a bit of weight at the front end initially - I found mine to be somewhat unbalanced, wherein the front felt like it weighed more than the back, but thats because it has the old style bar and stem; made from Chromoly, not alloy like the newer stuff. Also if you've felt the difference between the new and old forks, theres an absolute ton of difference! Hope this helps you mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
