dave85 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Don't know too much about it, apart from its quite nicely made and rides well, and its gonna be about half the price of the zoo as and when it comes out. Edd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 So you've ridden Ben Slinger's proto frame then? Look at the top 20 world riders, and average their wheelbases. Then think again. Anyway, frame looks sweet. Good to see its not an exact replica of the Zoo, even though it would have been entirely possible :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted June 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I'm tempted to use Ali C's theory here, get a proper bike. Really, the long mod idea has only been around for a year or so, why should onza go with a fad like that on the basis of one design which is bummed by all and sundry?

ryan Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 its about 1030 wheelbase, so no its not short!! nice height on the bb, think its around 50 mm, and rides a treat!! cant see any reason to slag them of for this as there doing riders a favour buy bringing down the cost of bikes!! would be nice to see some green stickers on there?? dont you think!!

aust Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 (edited) your point being... there all short ← was thinking that.. your full of shit :( sorry but had to be said.. t rex isnt short.. t pro isnt immensly short.. what bike do you ride mate ?? and why the f**k do you think ben slingers frame has had two prototypes already ??? because they are planning to release it well done.. now stop spending all your god damn time on this forum and go ride your bike... yeah as ryan said.. you bum cls waaaay to much andy Edited June 14, 2005 by aust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Andyroo, you're being an idiot, stop spouting crap about a frame you havn't even rode, let alone know the geo of. Wheelbase does not make a frame!! Anywho, the frame looks sweet as, bet Slinger's loving it over the T-Pro he was riding previously :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towler Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thats cool that it is 1030, and aust I "think" he was meaning the other mods are short. Its good that they are similar designs to others because you are always guaranteed a fair price with onza, so all i can say is good job :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 'cos they havent got round to selling carbon copies of the zoo is no reason to chuck your toys out of the pram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 By you saying "when will Onza ever learn..." it suggests that you already know the geo of that frame and are saying that it's short. You also say that long works, why is it that the current World Champ is riding a Monty? If I'm the only one that thought that I'll retract my statement, but I'm fairly sure others thought the same as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
