  1. :angry:

    Don't f**k with Skodas man....

    I don't like the look of the frame, but I'm not the target audience, and good on them for offering a different frame for people to buy.

    Haha sorry Nick, it was just the easiest example I could think of. No offence meant to you or Skodas

  2. I quite like the look of the frame, looks fresh. Not keen on the geo, but that doesn't bother me as I dont ride TGS and am not a fan of long bikes in general.

    For me, as Dave and cocky said, the Onza brand doesnt seem right to put on these frames. For me, Onza and Pro don't mix that nicely.

    Its like saying I drive a Lidl Ferrari, it just doesnt work (that was a bit of an extreme example but you catch my drift). Now I'm not slating Onza by any means, as I totally appreciate what they do for the sport, getting the younger kids into it by offering cheap bikes to get them started, so thumbs up top marks.

    I just think that perhaps branding them under a different name, thatn doesnt have the reputation of offering bikes to get the kids started in trials, would be a better approach, and might have spurred different reactions from people.

    It would (and I'm going back to the cars again) be like Skoda making a £300,000 super car, that could do 290mph. People are going to look and go "...but its a Skoda!" (again an extreme example but you catch my drift).

    Anyway, im going totally off the original plot there. Nice frame, looks cool, good geo for the people who are gonna ride it.

    Ozone bikes

    Too much like Onza and Ozonys illegitimate love child?

  3. I've run rear disc on several mods, and I've never hit a rotor. I rode a mix of natural and street, learning to sidehop (to the left) with no issues.

    As has been said, its actually harder than you would think to bend a rotor.

  4. He was getting about 43" the other day to rear, monster! The brakes work so so well.

    That little thing is amazing to ride! He was riding it down at west bay, and yes he was riding better on that that his normal bike. Still don't understand how!

  5. We couldnt get out of our road, there are steep hills all around to get out, so we were stranded.

    There was a 6 car pile up coming down the hill, next door neighbour broke her arm, I nearly broke my ankle stepping out the front door and slipping getting my leg wedged under my moms car, and anyone who made it safely down the hill couldnt get back up, including 2 police cars.

    Fun times

  6. It "was" a Hlafords Bikehut one as it's all I had lying about in the garage. I've recently changed it for an equally cheapo Tektro lever, but feels a lot more solid than the Bikehut one.

    Shopping list is growing, with Echo Urban forks and Azonic checker bars on the cards... :D
