I hope, the real production model has different tubing thickness to that of the T-pro and the Woodstock, just becasue they dent a little too easy.

Otherwise its looking good.

Like Simon said, if the colour is changed then itll look awesome (Y)

i saw one of the proto t bones today so they havent forgot about them :)

That's a REALLY old one in the shop Paul, I dont think it'll be out any time soon.

That green is also a HORRIBLE colour. Should of stuck with the woodstock black.

The frame is sprayed light grey. As seen here: http://www.onza.com/bikes/stock/protostock...3_side_1600.jpg

Who the hell is Thomas Ohler  :) , never heard of him, take it he is sponcered by onza :blink: .

Yeah. Onza, RedBull, a few others. Top ten UCI World Rider, beat Hermance at one of the European Cups earlier this year.

Is that the 180 Mono Trials he's running?  :P

It is indeed, fitted by yours truly earlier on that morning. Brake supplied by TartyBikes.

His bar height looks craaaazzzzily high :D

Yeah, its relatively high. Thomas is a pretty tall guy. Its an Onza 120 x 17 deg stem, large cone washer on top of the headset (approx 25mm tall), and around 120mm long head tube.

It's probably very cheap and probably has a great geo

These new frames are not cheap frames. They have much more work and testing going into them. Check out the pictures of the 4 prototypes here: http://www.onza.com/site_files_flash/bikes...otype_stock.htm. The top 4 pictures are of the latest prototype which Danny Butler is currently riding.

Looks nice, just the downtube looks a little too phat.

Check the link above, the latest proto has a different down tube :)

Tom came second on elite which wasn't bad

Oh it's not green it's unpainted it just looks that way in the pic.

Who beat him Matt? Just wonderin! :P

Sprayed grey, like the forks.

Geometry on that frame is 1090 wb, 385 rear end, 72ish head angle, and +10bb. Not sure exactly what Dannys is, haven't been able to measure it.

The latest one is much stiffer (double-ovalised down tube and wide, curved, flat seat tube to increase BB stiffness. Its also a little larger (seat tube dimension). Weight is under 2kg, so its definitely a comp-orientated frame.

Hope that clears some stuff up :S

Danny Butler :) he finished on 11 then Thomas on 14, Andrei Burton on 15 and Akkers in fourth

But Thomas didn't get point because points arn't given to none UK riders

He was very impressive thought but I get the feeling he struggled with the BIU style.

I think he ment cheap as in, cheap to buy when its relsed, not as cheapo nasty.

To be honest I think it looks rank!

Stupidly low at the back and the front really high! Cant say I like the gray colour that its going to be sprayed either. The downtube makes it look ugly but I bet it rides nice lookin at the geo!

I like that danny butler frame, but i hate the slinger one. Those chainstays are so ugly and what is the benefit? They will probably catch if you try riding up a curb sideways lol. Look on trials-nation if you want to see some crazy riding from thomas ohler. On the home page he does a 53" tap from a 3 pedal run up. :-
