Happydaze Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hi, I have noticed that there is an Onza blade for sale with wheels, Is this good one for a newbie, I currently have an 02 T-bird with hydraulic brakes and the rest is standard, been wanting to upgrade, so the questions begin.1/Is this a good frame for a newbie2/Will my forks fit3/Will my crank fit Thanks in advance.

Borat Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yes. It will be a good frame for you, as onza do quality frames for all stages of someone's riding: Beginner, intermediate and pro.The only thing I don't think will be compatible, is the rear wheel. The blade uses a 19" wheel and I think the old t-bird uses 20".I'll pm Joe@onza to come check If I'm right. Also, I'm in a good mood. So have a vadidation vote.

Thanks for the vote, you are correct about the rear wheel being a 20" on my old bird, but on the plus side the chap selling the frame is also selling the wheels. thanks Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe@Onza Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Think the T-Bird was 20" back then , Get a tape measure and check the diameter of the rear rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happydaze Posted December 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Defo a 20" wheel. What about the crank and forks any chance they will fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Sutton Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 onza blades are probably one of the best trials bikes to learn on because of its weight, its really light it also has good brakes which are one of the main things for trials Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
