SamKidney Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Been debating building another mod to play with alongside my 24", and today Mr. Brad Johnson got hold of this for me! An Onza Ice 2 complete with Trialtech Lite BB, for the bargain price of £50. Literally my favorite frames ever. No cracks, no dents, just 100% win! This will be worked on over the process of a few months after christmas. Im SO pleased 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bing Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Thats ok then. Just looked up the geo, it sounds perfect for me. I want a higher bb, my blade feels really low after riding dez's rockman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 No real need for a high bb. I rode an old GU ST which was +55 and rode it fine. Blades have a nice geo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Oh yeahh. Feel like a boss for doing my first good deed of 2012. Edit: Infact it's my second good deed. Hooked JMCD up with some real cheap wheels. Edited December 9, 2012 by BradJohnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Update! Got the frame today, super happy with it. Great condition and cant say fairer for £50. Anyway, the frame: And the build so far. Those Zoo! forks aren't staying. I have a set of 09 Vee Urbans Im collecting tomorrow. Just need some spokes, a sprocket, and tubes and I'll be good to go!

SamKidney Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Well here it is. Doesn't look quite as nice as it will just yet. Black rear rim to go on, ditching the blue rim tape and putting some black cranks back on. Rides pretty nice, although it will be more to my taste once I have some high rise bars on there, and the 165x35 stem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 like it might have to build mine up if i can do it mega cheap, not losing my 24. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradJohnson Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks better than I expected. Good job Sam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks a load prettier with a black bar and stem. Black forks, rear rim and maybe cranks would finish it off nicely for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will look well enough with matching rims. It's on the list. I did try earlier and the barbed fitting is just every so slightly too big to pass through the holes! Zip tied for now . Aiming to replicate my old one over time when I can afford to do so : Edited January 12, 2013 by Echo Lite 09 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looks nice Sam. One of Onza's better frames. Hope you can settle on this one and really progress 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably my favorite frame. I most enjoyed riding on my old one, which was also the bike I progressed most on over the time I had it. This one should be the same I hope. Been super excited to get it and a quick ride tonight has met my hopes. I'll have to get used to it, but I had more fun on this in the small time ridden tonight than the past few weeks on my 24.
