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.

Yeah they are working on a new 26" i believe 2 new protos are now being tested and they look very good.

looks immense Ryan, really loving the simple raw look.

Cheers Tom,Yeah it is nice.

Looks amazing and it's an Onza. It possible for them 2 words to go togther!!! Okay so it looks alot like a Koxx Sky, it's still bloody nice. 1KG is crazy. Nice to see the latest phase on there frame, postmount is going to be come a thing i think. I agree ditch the bash mounts, use a bash on the cranks or hard mount on the bb.

Get it built up

Very interesting indeed!

Will be interested to see how it lasts.

Seriously though Onza, on all your frames - STOP PUTTING BASH MOUNTS ON.

No-one uses them any more, they increase weight, get caught on things when you fail, and worst of all put a massive stress raiser on the downtube.

I strongly believe the 2010 Comp would have been one of the best mod frames ever made if it didn't have bash mounts or those crazy annoying dropouts.

Also - am I being a spacker or is that a 1.5" headtube? Looks humongous.

Get rid of the cable guides - zipties are lighter, cleaner looking, and don't cause any stress.

If those dropouts are the same as on the Comp 2010, get rid of them. They're a nice idea, but they're crazy annoying. Go back to the small simple ones for use with cams.

A non-curved seat-tube would be marginally lighter than a curved one, though perhaps that curve adds rigidity? I don't know.

Finally - are those gussets on the seat-tube for strengthening or aesthetics? I don't know huge amounts in this area but if they're not there for strength, get rid.

If you get rid of all those little bits of weight you simply don't need, you can use thicker tubing, making it a stronger frame whilst still sticking to the =<1kg target.

Screw appearance, attack it from a purely practical point of view.

Is post-mount really gonna happen?

Go for it, if it is - but it'll alienate a whole bunch of people to start with.

Personally i like the post mount, easier to set up, lighter and stiffer, ticks all the boxes. Im gonna try and get a frame under a kilo i think. Just done a 20" weighing in at a touch over 1.3kg with no extra machining or weight saving other than a head tube notch......and thats steel! Keep up the good work lads, love it!
