Ok, no then! Thanks everybody!

Well yes, but the thing is I really don't know what to take...

No! I don't want a titanium frame. It rides really differently from a aluminium frame. Much more springy and bouncy. What about the Rockman ISIS please?

Ah... Well then, I think I got wrong again...

I know that thanks! What else?

Hello! I am looking for a new frame. What do you people think of the Rockman ISIS? Has anybody heard about broken ones? Has it got any problems? Thanks for your help!

Cheers, it's also much lighter with these fantastic Kenda tires... 8,2 kilos

That's it! DO you have other details about that frame? and other pictures?

Does anybody have some pictures of the 26" prototype of the same colour some guy is riding on comps? I think it is Ben Savage or someone else from the Onza team...

Nope that is really interesting actually! Seeing where trials could actually evolve is amazing. When we look at how it has been since it first existed, the bikes are now longer and higher, so why stopping? I love high and long bikes!

It might be personal preference, but on my stock bike, I like having a normal wheelbase (I am 1 meter 85 so 1085 is perfect) but with a long stem for example 150 mm. I feel it is much more comfy when on the back wheel and it gives you the advantage of being high positionned compared to the obstacle. It's also better for moves on the front wheel, as it needs much less effort to stay on the front wheel. Overall I find it more stable. There might be some negatives points (such as bad positionning on the bike), otherwise, everybody would do it, but I like it.

You will?

Thats's quite true actually!

I am not considering anything at the moment (except the Ozonys which looks more than promising) but I am just looking for a frame!

The thing is that this frame is cheaper in a french shop. It's 490 EUR on spherebike where as in Tarty it's 539 GBP (which makes 650 euros thanks to xe.com). And I also need a new stem (VIZ 150*30°), and a headset. The total on spherebike would be 644 euros, where as it would approximately be 700 euros in Tartybikes. So, I don't think you will be able to match that price. I would have prefered your service, but my bank account prefers spherebike!

That's it then! I think I made my choice! Josh Barker, Did you have any issues building it? Onza Boy mark, will a Onza BB fit in that frame or do I have to invest in a new one? Thanks a lot guys!

You must have noticed that I am looking for a new frame. I am looking for something good, with modern geometry, rigid, and nice if possible. I never actually thought about the Cannibal 3, which I really like since it has been out. But for some reason, I forgot it existed. What I would like to know please, is if you know if there are any problemes with that frame. If it breaks in a specific place, if you have been riding one, or if you know anything about it. Any input (in relation with the subject) will be welcomed! Onzaboymark, if you have heard of any of these frames breaking, please let me know!

Thanks a lot Mark!

So you wouldn't recommend steel for trials riding?

Hello, seeing that marino frames are cheap, I would like to know how good they are for trials, by that I mean how does steel feels for trials moves? Also, has anybody got problems with these frames, tyre clearance, freewheel or chain rubbing...etc... Tell me what you think. I would also like to know what BB type I should take to have one like the standard trials frame have today... Euro, american, spanish?

Well finaly seeing my finances, I will just wait... When will Onza get their new stock frames out? I heard there was high BB on the way!

What is that? Explain please! Nevermind, I'll just wait until Onza get their new stock frames out.

Slate 2 then! What would you say about it Mark?

Hello, at the end of this month I will buy a Rockman Kortz 2 frame. I really like that frame, and I want to ride the bike I dream owning! So before I buy it, I am just looking for reviews, talking about the behaving of that frame, both in natural and artificial. I want to know how it reacts to different technique and so on... If you don't own one, just feel free to say what you think about that frame. I will be pleased to know. Thanks a lot.
