smithy83 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 just wondered what headset this would take?(same as sky2)out of interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Does look seriously swish, even though it is basically an affordable Sky/Rockman clone. Staying on the issue of proto frames, when the heck is the CLS signature mod gonna come out and when is Craig Lee Scott gonna release his new video?

Matt Vandart Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Is that a bash plate mount I spy on the down tube there? I would loose that in the production model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Im loving the frame! What rear brakes that though? Some other onza proto? Its a Proto brake from Onza,Works a treat! Is that a bash plate mount I spy on the down tube there? I would loose that in the production model.

G_! Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 hmm, not sure I agree, there is more important things than weight. I would consider 1800g to be the best of both worlds. Will be strong enough to last a year or longer and not too heavy. yea that's true, just I'm glad to see we haven't seen the weight limit in trials =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 yea that's true, just I'm glad to see we haven't seen the weight limit in trials =) Yeah i agree,I had the Onza Limey 4 for ages and there were no issues with that and that frame was about 1.2 i think.

craigjames Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I wish they would stop putting bloody bash mounts on their lightweight high bb mod frames? Is that a bash plate mount I spy on the down tube there? I would loose that in the production model. Keep up Matt, I even mentioned in reply to your earlier comment! Does look seriously swish, even though it is basically an affordable Sky/Rockman clone. Staying on the issue of proto frames, when the heck is the CLS signature mod gonna come out and when is Craig Lee Scott gonna release his new video? It probably looks like a Koxx/Rockman/Onza mish mash because there is only so much you can do with a super light frame using round tubes around a certain geometry and weight. Change the tube profile too much and they won't be strong enough and lots of CNC bits and it won't be the target weight etc. Guess that's why it's got the webbing at the "seat tube" and Onza's unique dropout system. Looks more of an evolution of the Limey 4 frame. Got to agree with the headtube cut out bit, why not make it the other way up or a symmetrical hole? Guess because the headtube was in a parts bin and thought, that'll do! I like it, 1Kg is stupid light, get rid of the bash mounts (they'll never be needed) and changed the headtube? Then just see how it goes I guess. Don't know if post mount is the best way forwards though, not unless Hope change their mono trials. How have the Mono V2 brakes performed in comparison? Could use a Formula The One brake, same size pistons as a Mono Trial but post mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 get rid of the bash mounts (they'll never be needed) It's not even so much the 'never be needed' - it's more the fact that the tubing's going to pretty thin so the chances of using the bashplate and then battering the mount through the downtube is going to be increased.

Matt Vandart Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Lol, sorry Craig I missed that bit or forgot immediately brain is a bit fried at the mo. Formula 'the one' are pure win by the way, I only got rid of mine due to spare part availability, which i have probably also said before but can't remember.

dirt jumper jake Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ditch post mount and put a IS one on, lose the bash mounts, and take off them stupidly big drop outs and onza would have a sub 1kg frame. Look nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Trials manufacturers just seem to be getting worse over the years... Since 07 the quality of frames has just gone down hill all they seem to foccusing on is the weight rather than the strength hence why you see a lot of frames snap or crack within the period of 6-12 months of the warranty this explains why they don't test this stuff out before releasing it... Hence why theres still loads of old frames going strong that people are riding today.. Not to start a rant or anything here... but id rather have a frame that is designed on strength and not weight... Now i can imagine all the weight weenies on here are gonna rant at me to be honest...

Matt Vandart Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I agree. I also agree with the candy red shiz. Colour is a surprisingly important detail. I dont care personally but the limey 320 puke gold is a good example, also I showed my kid the ONZA sting just before I bought one for him and lucky i did, he hated the color of it and as such would not have ridden it, so ,sale lost there I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i like cunning stunts Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I really really hope that onza bring out a 26 that looks similar to this with geo similar to the sky 2 and at half the price would buy it in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
