AdamR28 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Well, due to Mr Onzaboymark being a top bloke, I have some numbers for you! Chainstay: The dropouts are very long, allowing a couple of positions to be used. Mark's got his set at 365mm (which would normally be 362mm with a brand new chain and 18:12 gear ratio), but he says you'd be able to take an extra link out to make the stays 350mm or less, or use smaller sprockets and run them at almost 375mm. Wheelbase: With Mark's Fall Guys is 1030mm, however these usually shave 15mm or so off due to their geometry, so with a normal fork it would be 1045mm. BB Height is 330mm with Mark's Fall Guys (which are pretty long). A T-Pro with T-Pro forks is 315mm. So I would estimate the normal BB height to be 325mm/+60. The Reach of the frame, from the centre of the BB shell to the centre top of the head tube is 650mm. This is 50mm more than a T-Pro, offering loads of room in the cockpit! Mark's also gonna grab a few pictures later on :- Cheers, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 So the pictures up there are the finsihed product? no snail cam holes? and will those stickers some off easy enough does anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 How happy am I? :- This frame is awesome. I've not had a chance to fully give it some beans 'cos I've not got my full compliment of bolts in my back brake, but it just feels really sort of stable. The back end is similar to what I'm used to (362mm, but that's with one slack ol' chain. Need to file my chaintugs down a little to get 'em back further), but the front's longer, and it just really balances the bike out nicely. Pics: Can't remember the exact order, but you all know your dropouts from your headtubes, so it should be fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 What is it with onza and shite stickers/sprayjobs at the moment, and they have to lacquer em on :lol:. There getting removed as soon as i find out an efficient way to remove them without the paint behind it otherwise its a spray job (Y) . Also drilling too little m5 holes by the droputs , would that void the warantee? dont understand why theres none there already for snail cams :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Actually got a chance to ride mine in a trialsy way for an hour after work tonight :( Was a cold, drunk-person filled evening so it was a bit weird, but the bike's awesome. Can comfortably do my biggest sidehops to front, two, or back wheel, straight off. It's really confidence inspiring - you just want to go bigger and bigger. Didn't have my Xen though, so I didn't risk it. Upping to front is a bit strange at first, as the bike really dives over the front. Doing pivots and shit felt weird as hell at first 'cos you can have the bike loads steeper (well, steeper than the T-Pro) without going OTB. So for upping to front, you've got to rein it in a bit when you're committing to the front 'cos it's all too easy to try and force it up too much. Backwheeling-wise, it feels odd, but that's just 'cos my techniques shite at the moment 'cos I'm riding BMX, plus the front end's like 40mm longer than the T-Pro. Gaps are really nice, it just sorta flies. It's really nice on the back wheel. Just kicking to the edge of gaps, you've got to focus pretty hard on where you're going to 'cos it'll just go there. It's really precise, and feels solid to ride. For drops and the like, it's good too. It just has a really small, burly feel to it that just spurs you on. For natural, the extra mm'age in the wheelbase meant that for rock work it felt really good, just because of the stability it gave, and the fact you can bridge gaps more easily. Again, it just felt solid and precise. What DID surprise me though was the fact that it's pretty damn nice to bunnyhop, and I got a couple of ridiculously long manuals on mine :ermm: Not quite the same length as my BMX, but for a mod it was pretty shocking, 'specially with my back brake. Rides really, really well though, and I'm still not used to it. Can't wait 'til Sunday when I'll actually (shock horror!) not be working, so I'll be able to go ride it properly :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-L-B Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I know it's not everything but I just can't get round those really, really, really shite stickers. And they can't be removed! It may ride really well and all but if Kelloggs Corn Flakes boxes were covered with pictures of big turds would you be buying them? :( Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may ride really well and all but if Kelloggs Corn Flakes boxes were covered with pictures of big turds would you be buying them? :( Dan Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of them. They just don't look particularly high quality, and when you've got all CNC'd loveliness going on with the rest of the frame, it just lets it down a bit really. That and of course they're laquered over. Ah well, problems of ordering it before you've seen the final thing (although that was offset by the fact I got mine before anyone really knew they were in the country at all :)). Still rides awesomely :ermm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 if you hate the stickers just paint it, i know i would. whilst i'm here, award for most ghetto forks ever goes to mr.mark. :( :ermm:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Oi! 2-year-old + Fallguy proto forks. Not given a proper finish, and ask such the laquer came off like cling film at certain points :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
