StuntMan_Stan Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Guys,As promised here are some shots of the prototype "dual" in action (more to follow). It feels very nice indeed, exceptionally flickable and light. Geometry is the same as the limey2 so its got a +20mm bb and a long wheelbase, the major difference being the weight and shape. I think only minor alterations will be needed to strengthen the bb yoke.Shots are taken in my back garden and in the local town of Wellington.Any constructive comments are welcome, I have a full time job as well as a life i will check back here when I can.EnjoyJohnA few more for your viewing pleasure.

Walleee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I like the MBK style downtube. Doesn't it have a cool dent resistance thing down the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 love the front end seup on that bike with the hidden headset + all looks super stealthy and clean. i quite like the bike, be interesting to see how long it lasts because the tubing looks very thin.

26inch Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 not a fan of the dual toptube. Mint garden though. How did you get hold of that many pallets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I just hope when they say it's a lightweight comp bike they don't mean the same as when they said it with the T-lite. I think we've gone beyond even lightweight comp bike's snapping because of the rear brake forces.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Looks beast. Looks a bit weird though, nice back garden set up aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Have you got a pallet farm there? They seem to be growing!! You gonna harvest them in the Autum an sell them?Nice mate, will have to have a blast on the Dual when I next see you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 What does it say on the sign in the penultimate picture?Looks ok, nothing too exciting. What exactly are the key "features" of this frame anyway. And how do they help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Pearson Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I love it when Onza bring out a new frame. Its like; what have the designers decided to b*****d together now?"This week, we'll be mating an MBK with a K-sas and then immediately spraying it limey grey...." Looks good though.Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntMan_Stan Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 The forks are echo Hi Fi that I used to run on my Coust.The pallets have been built up over many years I had an arrangement with the local fruit and veg man at the market. Bassically he let me hve them if I could shift em. Other bits and pieces have found there way in as well. We are always changing the layout around.The sign on the penultimate picture is a personal joke I put on there. It reads "really make it have it!" which is a Martin Lampkin Quote and underneath it has the different names for jap slap which is what that 8stack of pallets is for im trying to learn to hook/ japslap 8 pallet. Its a motivational thing I was going to write stop being a pussy and pedal but I doubt that would have gone down well!I didnt design this frame I am just testing it and surgesting developements to improve it. This is a very light bike with competion orientated geometry. You will have to ask Onza why they are trying this shape. To reiterate what I said before i like the way it rides, it is extremely fickable and light which makes it extremely controlable.Futher constructive comments welcome.

Joe_Elding Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I reckon if the top tube/seatstays were lower it would LOOK a lot nicer, would probs be some other more important disadvantage witht hat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
