robonatomz Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i like the first frame. allthough the tubes have a small diameter they have taken measures to make them stronger. they are ribbed underneith. and the head/down tube area looks sweet. it feels realy light not sure of the exact weight.(sorry if its already been put up but cant be assed to read 3 pages of posts) its good to see a different looking frame for a change and i would love to get o go on one to see what the flex is like, and how the extra width on the top tube affect the rider. its built to the same geo as the limey i believe so shouldent be any problem there.the 20" frame looks a beast. a bit on the heavy side, but then it seemed super strong and i like all the cut away gusset type bits on it. a bit like danny b's new frame!rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm liking the way you've managed to get those tensioners put in on a non-dropped-stay frame... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thats the patented bit which delayed the launch a week or two. We just now have to work on the weight to get it competition ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Are there any pictures of the 'patented' frame from the top with the dropouts on view?Like to see Both frames look good.As everyone has said the chainstays look thin but I like the idea of the strengthening strip on the bottom.The second frame just looks immense.

Matt Staples Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 i always think its funny when people say 'it looks like it will snap'. how can anyone know until its ridden? i would ride both of those frames, no probs. i've been riding the t-mag since the london cycle show (9 months ago??) and thats still going strong.

JT! Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 I really like that mod frame, The headtube dosn't look to bad at that angle at all. Loving the tensioner part, mind you though i feel it should have a nut on both sides. But it's really looking nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 is that replacing the 'old' slinger frame then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the tensioner part, mind you though i feel it should have a nut on both sides. But it's really looking nice. Mine have been holding up so far with just one nut In fact, it needs to be a threadlocked nut maybe 'cos it just vibrates further along the thread... even so, holds it's tension without it there anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Tupman Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I'm a little confused by this head tube I thought the big idea with these one peice headtube and cnc'd sections was that you'd actually increase you welding area because you could make a larger surface for the top and down tube to join to and still only have one join at the headtube.This frame seems to have a seperat headtube and cnc'd section and what looks like a smaller welding surface on the headtube than a standered setup I wouldn't buy one for a least 6 months after they've been released to see how they pan out Chain tension idea is good although thats not exactly new but good on them for patenting it, just put it on some normal frames would you!

Glass Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 The new Onza Duel.More info on www.onza.com. Personally I dont think it is pleasing to the eye at least my own. It looks way too big aka tall (seat tube wise) and the rear triangle looks best suited to some cannondale cross country frame rather than a trials frame. I like the addition of a rear disc as it tends to be a rare thing these days but frankly even I might agree that running a disc on that frame might not be the smartest thing to do.but its a prototype so i'm sure they'll smarten it up for production.later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Can we see some pics of the new prototype that Danny B is riding please?????It looked VERY nice at the British Round the other day......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 That Limey 2 is Gorgeous. Will these have a thicker downtube? (less comp orientated material) If so, Roll on that frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
