pogonation Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) Does anyone know when this frame is available for the public to buy, because it looks damn nice and apparantly it is going to cost the same price as most other onzas (200ish) (Y)" Edited July 2, 2005 by pogonation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I read somehwhere is could be in a few weeks, but probably isn't vary reliable, and no one really know for sure about the whole zona thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Mike said 2-3 weeks in a thread previously, I thought? "It's going to cost the same price" as what? (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 How much will this frame cost? £400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) I heard somewhere that onza frames cannot be sold for morethan £250. I'm not sure how true it is, but if it is true I'm sure a LOT of people will be getting one.

RicH_87 Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 How much will this frame cost? £400? ← obviously not. Even Onza know they can't compete with the 'top end' companies as far as their image goes, so pricing their frames in competition with Zoo and Echo isn't going to work. (almost everyone would have a python or a team over an onza at the same price). I would guess it'll be around £230 - £270. And hopefully it'll be frame only option straight away.

JT! Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 £250? i think not (Y) ← Thats the frame you want to get. Non of this long stuff. Anyway, Zona i hear was suposed to be like Zoo and echo are. Sort of a different range of bike, rather than the name of the bike it's self. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 I could actually feel the standard T-Lite hampering me and holding me back. No joke. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too short for me. The geometry's just sketchy. The T-Lite Long I had for the Deej ride was better, but I still "downgraded" to the T-Pro and can ride loads better on it...

andyroo Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 (edited) I can see the general feeling of the forum in a months time.... "Oh no, not another crappy Zona, theres millions of the things!

Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Zona is our new no frills brand and we are launching the frame in about 3-4 weeks. There will be no team, no sponsorship no publicity or adv. Just good product at low prices. Onza wiil still be our premium brand and the brand into which all our R & D, sponsorship, point of sale etc. etc. will be directed. I take issue with some comments made on here. There is no ceiling on our frame prices and we do class ourselves as a premium brand. 2 firsts and 2 seconds in yesterdays British champs shows that.

Ha! I was right! In your face everyone who said I was being stupid (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Surely introducing and stocking a totally new product range ties up money? (Given that the Onza R&D has been continuous anyway, and these new frames will be out before many Zona frames will have been sold). So, what you said doesn't really make sense. I'm sure Mike will have something to say anyhow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Ha! I was right! In your face everyone who said I was being stupid (Y) ← Yeah, it would seem you were. I guess that by releasing them under another brand name, they won't taint the Onza "reputation" with cheap 'n' dirty frame copies. It's stupid how changing the letters in the name around can actually make a difference, but it can. Well played Onza :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyroo Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 It obviously works though, like with Toyota releasing a premium brand aka Lexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zona is just a re-arrangement of Onza, everyone will work it out. And they will be sold at supercycles anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
