Muel Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I'd already seen all that, just trying to help and generate some ideas for you to think about... All the bikes I've seen the pro riders riding are two-tone, I was simply posting my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) I've never been a fan of those extra BB looking tubes...PLEASE get some colours out now!? No more black, white, or silver.The "extra BB looking tube" is a crucial part of the design. You will note that the frame has no "seat" tube and the cross tube is essential to stiffen the frame in combination with the side plates. It is just a different approach in stiffening.I'd already seen all that, just trying to help and generate some ideas for you to think about... All the bikes I've seen the pro riders riding are two-tone, I was simply posting my opinion!I think Joe feels that from previous experience once pictures are uploaded people just comment on what they see and this is what he predicted. Its all about the frames and designs and nothing whatever to do with graphics and finishes. Those will come later and will be thoroughly discussed I am sure.

Muel Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I like the design of the frame a lot, the little tube looks cool, and the bb to chainstay yoke (sp?) is really nice.Not keen on the duel top-tube though, I just can't see the point of it? It's extra width to hit your legs on, and it's not like that's really a weak area?The limeys a really nice design though, I think it looks really nice, I'd just loose the hyroglyphics from the "paint" and sell it, it'd look great!

King C Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I think the gunmetal/grey on the limey mod looks the bees danglies, especially with the lighter highlights. I think you should go with it, minus the numbers and stuff obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 (edited) Keep the geo and colour of that Limey, add a disc mount and I'll take one, that's f**king gorgeous!!EDIT: Just wanted to back that point up, seriously please.

It is just a different approach in stiffening.Ah yeah, I can see how it offers added stiffness, just saying... I don't like it too much. Looks a little too busy and cluttered?I'm with Jon too, add disc mounts! Disc and Magura mounts on all the frames? Please? You'd sell so many more if you did.

Muel Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well you can grind it off then, and Onza can sell more frames because they're opening themelves up to the whole market. I think I know more mod riders with rear disc than with maggy, it's certainly close.Also you have to considor, this frame weighs like 1.6kg, which means it's got to be more for natural/comps, where loads of people are moving over to discs all the time...

Ali C Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I HATE the look of the limey 26" frame (looks like a dead dolphin) BUT I really like the look of the Limey 20", it looks much better proportioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
