  1. Need to apologize about this (ban me for 24 hours if you want Tom but keep my post).

    If indeed Bartek officially claims that he didn't design this frame, an apology is due from my side. If that is really the truth, me and many other fellow riders were manipulated by Bartek over the last few months into believing that this was his design. Lastly, my post was made with his approval for which I have evidence since we discussed this over a messenger service.

    That is all. Good luck with your new range of products.

    Well, it's time that maybe I should also write something from myself. I've been drawing some designs for sometime. When I finally have been pleased with it's look I decided to find a factory which will make it. I picked the one which cooperates with Mike (manufacturer only mentioned doing some stuff for few trials brands, but without any details). I send him my drawing and in response, guy from factory send me technical drawing, which is the one Inur posted before.

    About new Onza's product range: I love it!!! Can't wait for our delivery. Deffo will be building bike on new Limey

  2. Echo Lite is mostly designed around great Echo Team frame from around 2003-2004 from what I remember. The 6061 is still pretty good as most frames are made from it, but still it has to be some reason that Deng gives 6 months warranty for 6061 frames and U6 got 1 year warranty. Still both are not likely to snap anyway. So I wouldnt bother about strenght. Just buy one which you like more.

    BTW I had Echo Team short since I always wanted one so much. But sold one as it didn't suit me how I expected (maybe thats because i'm stock rider?)

    Personally I'd go for Echo Team long=]

  3. I've been thinking about horizontal d/o similar to Toxsin Mod or MBK, but they will change geometry drasticly and will vary depending on gear ratio. Which IMO isn't anything good, since changing wheel with horizontal d/o is pain in the ass. I already designed chain tensioner, which is totally unique and am 100% it will work brilliantly:)

    About look:

    Well we want to make something low (like czar), but still totally diffrent from other frames on market. I don't want to be another guy who 'copy&paste', I want to push boundries of the sport even further!:P

    Regards.

  4. Well, I've recently have been thinking about designing frame and thought that it would be good to ask you. What people like and dislike? What would you like to see in a frame. I was mainly thinking about stock frame as this is what I ride and know the best.

    I was thinking about some universal geo like:

    WB: 1087mm

    BB Rise: +40mm

    CS: 382mm

    But what would you prefer:

    Integrated booster / seperate one?

    Horizontal d/o or Vertical d/o with integrated chaintensioner (which actually works and doesn't make any problems)?

    4bolts or both 4bolts and disc?

    Any other special demands?

    Painted 1color / Painted in few colors with good looking graphics / polished silver? If there would be custom painting would you be ready to pay extra 30-40 pounds for it?

    Waiting for your comments. This research can be very useful not only for me:)

    Regards.

  5. I got 1 year old Fila Brasilero (vice-european show winner, yay!:D). From what I heard raising them in the UK is forbidden, they are sooo sweet though:P

    Here are the pics from the last show.

  6. GU TP is basicly current Typhoon

    The geo is FRAME 26", WB1085 / CS375 / BB60+ / HT112MM71D, FLAT BLACK.

    For 20" WB1025 / CS358 / BB55+ / HT112MM71D, FLAT BLACK COLOR

    All frames got disc mount for 203mm rotors, so simtra will lose some customers

    And yes, all the frames are being released. Dealers should have them shortly.

    The ST might be a little more expensive, but it depends from the dealer;P

    I'm getting ST one:D
