Sam Nichols Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'm a bit dissapointed at the lack of anything remotely streety... :( I really wanna see onza bringing out a full on street frame that will take a real seat and is a decent size AND has no curves :( sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si-man Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I think frame 2 is nicest to be honest :( Frame 4 would be alot better if it didnt have that carbon fibre top tube :( I would deffinatly buy frame 2 if that was put into production Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_pimp Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Looks like Mr Poizer got a new pen and paper for christmas. He has been busy playing around with ideas I see.

SQuiT-man Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Respect to onza for making something new and fresh! They are repidly shooting up the rankings towards my favourite make IMO. I like frames 2, 3 and 4, althought I think the weird middle bit in frame 2 would probably not do much, and could look better either without it at all, or with it altered. Frame 3 I also agree looks perhaps a little bit cyborgy, and it makes me wonder if it would weigh a lot, or have welding weaknesses? Still cool though. Frame 4- nice use of carbon fibre! Great going by onza, and great to see true customer care, taking opinions of us lot into their designing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Not trying to stir anything here but: Are these actual Onza designs, or were they just picking out frames from a catalogue? I really like the black Coust-style frame, would like to see some pictures of the middle 'bracket' thing to see how big/thick it is and whether it'd actually do anything. Good to see they're trying lots of ideas, any pictures of the stock frame Adam? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted January 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 As far as i know, ALL of these frames are very different to catalogue frame. The 'middle bracket'... im not sure. Id guess at about 6mm, since it'll probably have been cleaned up from 1/4" (6.35mm) plate. Stock frame... soon, maybe... maybe you'll have to come to Wales next weekend...

Rob :) ← they have obviously worked their arses off to design and make those frames, probrably spent alot of money on them too. you come along and say 'Come on onza sort it out!' will make them feel alot better about what they are doing(i think not!!!) i think what they are doing is great and i think people who diss things like this should be shot(not really,lol). sorry if im being a bit angry but i think you should be encouraging new designs. and not thinking that the current frames are best :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haz Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 I like frames one and two. Frame one especially, because of it's close look to the 'Fly Bikes' flatland BMX, which is a lovely frame... The CNC frame, however, is grusome and can't imagine anybody wanting to be seen on it. Still, quality designs, not every day you see five frames from the same company with different ideas! :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hardman Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 So no one remotelly agrees with my idea of taking the good points of each frame and making one tasty as f**k frame. My idea again but a little clearer (I hope) Take the front end of the carbon design whack in a normal headtube. Take the one piece yoke and bb and the cncd goodness of the rear end of the other one and slim dowen the dropout area theres just no need for it. Glue them all together and you have a very tasty frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 maybe we should have a little comp to see who can design (properly) the best frame and show it to onza :blink: I doubt theyll wanna use the design but it will give them a proper idea of what we all like as a whole :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gonna put my really badly explained idea above into a picture but i cant use a computer to draw. Then again my dissertation is almost done and i have time to waste so i might have a little go.

At least someone sees my point! Thats the whole point of a prototype, to see what people think and to see what there like! If everyone says, "oh yes onza, there great, oh yes!!" then when they come to sell them and knowone buys them I will wonder why! I think they just dont look right at all! Yeh ok fair enough that they've spent money, time etc into making them but so do all the other companys out there!! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
