Joe@Onza Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Limey - HOTIce - Poop ( Surly it would made sense to have the grey..a light blue colour??Thanks, We were going to have a light blue there but decided it would be pretty difficult to colour match your bike, Not saying you can get Grey component's but it more of a neutral colour.

Krisboats Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Is it not an idea to get the downtube sticker/vinyl the same colour as the paint job? I mean fair enough change the paint colour, it looks alright... but leave the sticker as it was?Matching paint job...Ooops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Why is the Limey a fair bit more expensive than the Ice given the weights and geometry?If given purely the stats and the pics, I'd have thought the Ice would be the 'higher level' frame?Anyway, you've done a good job on both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe@Onza Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Limey has a lot of 'CNC' work on it which rises the price dramatically, Just because something is "higher level geometry" does not mean you should charge people more for it.They both ride very differently from one another, If you look in "Riding Pictures" you should be able to see Ryan having a hop around. He had the prototype Ice for the past 6 months and has soon as he got on the Limey 20 he realised each bike had its own very different positives. I'll text him later to see if he will pop a few words down on what they ride like and what sort of rider would like which etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Onza, I believe you were making an interlocking singlespeed spacer kit for a rear freehub.any news on that? Has it been released? I was looking to buy a new singlespeed sprocket, but I wouldn't mind one of yours as it should eliminate digging in completely.

I was looking to buy a new singlespeed sprocket, but I wouldn't mind one of yours as it should eliminate digging in completely.We have been testing for quite a while to make sure it does what it says on the packet. We are now looking to relese it with a choice of 3 sprockets. (14,15,16).Would any body like to add a size and explain why? Should be out March time next year.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Just because something is "higher level geometry" does not mean you should charge people more for it.Finally, a bike company has acknowledged that! It used to really piss me off how you'd have to pay £XX more to have decent length stays or a decent wheelbase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 While I agree this is a good thing, I just can't understand who would want to pay more for a heavier frame with 'lower level' geometry?I get that different people want different things out of a frame, but if I rode mod I know which frame I would choose...Not having a dig, just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the BB its similar geo to the Limey 20" (I know that everyone will be like"oh my god, look how much different the BB is though" But) I'm guessing you were referring to it being short where as the Ice is a bit longer? or were you talking about the BB height? either way its all down to preference. The only way to solve this issue would be to hide the price making the Ice £350. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I don't sleep.Crazy fool.I really like the Ice, I'm not keen on the Limey 20 though, it looks a bit green and a bit too much CNC'd stuff for my liking. They're a big step foward though and the cheaper Onza mods look great, nice one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidehop Stuart Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm not sure on the grey colour on the Ice. The green on the Limey, it's the right colour for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
