bEavoLa Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 that definately just a re-tagged GU frame with an Onza headtube though...i thought the Koxx/Try-All/Yaabaa/Gu co-allition didn;t 'play' with Onza? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Wow that frame is pretty darn lush...1110, wonder how that rides... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 loads of limey tubeing on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Knowing most of the people on here, I'm pretty sure if Onza made some sort of Fleshlight cap for the horizontal tube/hole thing by the seat-tube they'd sell 10x as many frames...

dave33 Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 question to onza: is that tube/pipe welded between the top tube and yoke ment to add mechanical properties to the frame such as stress relife or is it just for looks ?

Jaffacakes Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 (edited) That looks sooooo nice.If I was a filthy stock rider I'd buy it for the sheer fact its £50!Im gonna have to force charlie to buy it Edited August 30, 2006 by Jaffacakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamtrials Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) Copying happens all the time these days in trials, and I believe that frame was actually destined to be a zona, as onza are actually quite an innovative brand. Why dont you go and moan about the zona zip, zenith, czar ivan, all the other similar frames out there?

Mark W Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The geometry's different at least, so if you don't want to bend to Deng's wishes and don't want to have to run a 6ft 4in BB height you can get a frame that doesn't have it, I s'pose.Seems funny seeing the situations here now when people are complaining about Deng frames, whereas about 2 years ago it would've been the other way round...
