hey thanks to everyone who posted, adam has pretty much answered my question and sorry if anyone took it the wrong way (i wasnt insulting the limey just using it as an example) snapples post pretty much sums up what i was trying to ask! anyhoo thanz all :)
-
so much time and effort goes into these frames...
i'm not saying that they didnt put time and effort into those frames i was mearley asking "are there not copy right laws preventsing SIMILAR frames being produced" i wasnt saying they where copys or something !and if anything i take my hat off to danny butler for what looks like a beutifully built and designed frame. though at the risk of being hypocritical im in the process of ordering a zona (also a beutiful design) so instead of turning this post into a "who can pick on the new member" fest i'll repeat the question "are there not copy right laws preventsing SIMILAR frames being produced" or does the different geometry's void all those laws ???
also how am i "flying around such stuff" i was asking a question not attacking danny or onza in any way, if any thing i also appluade onza as they have probably brought huge amouts of people to the sport (which isnt a bad thing) and they're line in bike's and frames at the minuite is VERY impresive in my view.

i know they have different geometery's, the limey is 10mm shorter but has 15mm longer chain stays i was on about the shape and features on the bikes.
-
ive had my echo (black and silver) one for ages now and its still going strong so i'd say go for one of them + they're lighter than the control booster

if you want to go single speed i have a dmr revolver 4 sale in for sale/wanted :sleeping:

hey all
i saw the new onza limey today and realised that it looks alot like the bt ninja (i think so) and it got me thinking why are so many companies aloud to make similar frame's e.g. zona = zoo python or t bird = mission prodigy. So i geuss my question is are'nt there laws against it ???
-
They aint shit at all Ive got a one as Ive got a new bike now and I learnt perferctly on them Id say t-pros are shit aswell this mission is quite light and good for begginers
trust me they are weak !!! i snapped 2 mission prodigy frames in 2 weeks :sleeping: both on the chain stays, add to that the fact they charge £120 pounds to upgrade to magura's when you buy the bike new and you've got nice little list of reasons why not to buy one... also man on a mission is right if you want to upgrade one you either have to buy bmx parts (rear hub) and cant change your forks without £40 easton shims to go in the headset or a fsa reducer headset which now makes a tidy litle 4 reasons why not to get one
i'd go on but i think ive proved my point already B) <--- satisfied grin !!!!!

hey i have 1 on order at the minuite and i was just wondering can you fit snail cam tensioners to them e.g. do the have the little bolt holes in the frame ??? any help would be great thanks :unsure:
-
wow....... crazy you should say the a similar thing happend to my mate on sunday, doing a tiny gay he pulled back as he landed and snapped a set of echo team forks (2 months old) across the steerer just above the headset!!! (Y)
-
yeah it is !!! sex on wheels aint it :angry: even if it is canadian
-
dont some people have a tube welded to the seat post ? i saw it once on some stupidly expencive custom frame that had a silver maple leaf comming of the bottom cup of the headset!!!
-
tell him that if he gets pissed off then he's end up hurting him-self :- and to just think about what he's doing and relaze then try again cos (and i know how corny this sounds) practice makes perfect, and as far as him saying he gonna quit it just sounds a bit imature.
-
quick question... wud it fit any other frame than a monty e.g. do all the bolts line up? and before u ask no i aint getting one im just wondering (i dont have £50 or what ever it costs spare :- )
-
hey i dont know if this will help but.... i find if i look once or twice at where im going to (just before i hop) and think about how much power i need to apply to the pedals then i seem to naturally go to that point ! the point im making is realy just think about what you have to do and you should find it easier
hope thats any help (but probably isnt)
-

yeah but its the top end bikes that make improvments in bike design and (eventualy) those design ideas show through in lower level bikes, dmr bikes are relitivley cheap and feel lush on jumps :)
