mat hudson Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) There are more frames to come, but they're patenting the design features first, so watch this space.I'm guessing they're just trying out new ideas again, like they did a while back. Not a bad thing if something new and good comes of it thumbsupanim.gif loads of people use split tt, so its a bit harsh patenting it , it is nice though.

adamtrials Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I think it looks pretty funky Liking the nice design touches, finishes it off well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Like Stan said, i like the downtube idea very much. And that ridge that runs around the headtube and along the downtube, looks intresting. Maybe it is to help to prevent dents? But, the dual tobtube idea is a bit poor. Looks way too flexy, even with the internal booster! A bit more information from Onza wouldn't go a miss...Cheers,Joe.

munch8987 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I quite like that........whats the price gunna be on one of them then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Looks too thin for my liking.Maybe if Onza made the tubes wider, it'll look a lot nicer?I'm liking all the little ideas though...Ridge in downtube etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadChikken Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Looks a wicked idea, great to see a bit of innovation once in a while! Lots of interesting ideas brought together...like the look of it a lot!Few things that look a bit....iffy, but not being an expert I duno!Does no1 else think the cnc'd bridge at the front of the chainstays looks a touch...slim? Its one of the biggest failure areas in a frame, and even though there's clearly some extra been added part way up...just looks a lil dubious! Dropouts are interesting....again very slimmed down so maybe the frame's more of a natty-style than a hardcore street machine B interesting to see how the frame progresses, and maybe a few pics or a vid of it bein ridden.<3 the colour aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah those stays do look stupidly weak,presumably someone must have ridden one?Oh, and when are onza ever going to get a decent website?Theyve had that site since 2000 and it was still naff then...

Towler Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I like the look of that apart from where the down tube meets the head tube. More to the point any info on the geo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 That ridge sorta idea's pretty interesting? I keep noticing more stuff about that frame Yeah those stays do look stupidly weak,presumably someone must have ridden one?I'd say the ridge is there for strength, and as such, that might end up being a fairly strong frame, but it's no 4130 BMX.....

adamtrials Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I'd say the ridge is there for strength, and as such, that might end up being a fairly strong frame, but it's no 4130 BMX.....I dont care about the downtube being strong if the rest of it is weak.A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Im not saying it is weak, just saying it looks weak on the chainstay before anyone starts moaning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Sorry I didn't clarify, I was referring to the chain stays and top tube rather than the down tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smelly joe Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Im loving the second frame, with the scary headtube, surley it would be better off with a one peice headtube/cnc bit rather than having the cnc'd bit welded to the headtube. as there is hardly any cantact area for the weld on the headtube. any idea on the geo of it?
