JT! Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Very little people have ridden them yet, and it's a brakethough in trials really, as this 24" is aimed at non street riding. So to answer your question, god knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Buy Buy Buy, If it's as good as the T-Rex then it should sell out, not too sure bout any of Onza's colours but that is only cosmetic, if you want a 24" and dont want to look weird(sorry) then this is the bike for you.

Kieron :) :S so a bike that has 3 seat tubes and no seat looks more normal than a bike with one seat tube and a seat? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefletch Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 but when ur riding trials it looks more normal on a bike that doesnt look normal, get me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Drewery Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think that its very strange riding a 24" bike as a normal trials bike for natural etc. I have always associated 24" for street specific riding, frames like the Ashton and Leeson 24"ers have a very traditional style, where as this Onza has a pure trials style design. Best thing to do is wait for the reviews, Im sure somebody has bought one. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Anyone know the geometry of the Onza Zoot? All I know is that the wheelbase is 1040mm. I want to know if the head angle is close to 71.5 or 74 and how short is the back end, 360 or 370mm? Thanks guys and gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 I would say much closer to 71 than 74. And 360 is very unlikely, if not impossible. More like 370 or 380 (Leeson Fluids are 380). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeDotStuffAtOnzaDotCom Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 (edited) On the original drawing and on the frame, the chainstay length is 380mm and the BB rise is 35mm. The length of the bike is 1040 and the head angle is 73°. Given all that, can you tell what the bike is like to ride :P ? It's like one of those"Mr Green lives next door to the man with red hair" puzzles.

The length of the bike is 1040 and the head angle is 73°. And people are saying this is a bike designed for 'pure' trials? My Leeson is longer than that and it is far from a pure trials frame. Just because it is aluminium and looks like other frames doesn't mean it has trials geo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 hmmm... Might get one from work and see what they're like :P Whats the price for frame only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 hmmm... Might get one from work and see what they're like :P Whats the price for frame only? Not till after Christmas, apparently. And I'm sure I heard that it won't necessarily be sub-£200. Let's hope though :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like one of those"Mr Green lives next door to the man with red hair" puzzles. My custom 24in wheeled bike was 71.5 +20mm with a 365mm chainstays and a 1065mm wheelbase. Unfortunately I snapped the chainstay so am currently stuck with a Koxx 1100. I had hoped that the Zoot had a more UCI like geometry. Guess I'll be looking elsewhere...

Guess I'll be looking elsewhere...I've never had a custom bike, must be nice to be able to afford one... I remember reading in the early arguments that this bike was 24" but didn't look "dirt" enough. I'm not sure now if people are saying the geometry is right but not the look, or are both the look AND the geometry "wrong". Joking aside, it's impossible to make a bike that everyone will like. Some people do already have Zoots so you will have to find them and ask them for a ride. If you still haven't seen one, it looks like this: Edited December 9, 2005 by BikeDotStuffAtOnzaDotCom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
