Joe Papasnap Maher Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) I like the colour :"> im being serios :D bike looks nice too... :lol: Edit....tis a mini t-rex.... if its 24" id stick a pair of risers on it :lol: :lol: :P Who's gonna be riding it??like testing it...i will :D Edited September 6, 2005 by JoeMaher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve sturt Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Looks way too trialsy. Comp orientated. Short stem big risers and a twin triangle frame like the ashton would be much much better. HAS to have a seat. Looks like a big mod, the others so far have looked like small stock bikes. I wouldnt want one. Edited September 6, 2005 by steve sturt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Good that your doing 24" frames, but I'm not liking that, its too unconventional, its boring, but double diamond frames are streety, it needs a seatpost too, imo anyway.

ben_travis Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 As a uci rider i feel it looks decent, although like most other :P, however i can see good points from it and bad points..... GOOD -smaller riders who dont wish to ride mod but want uci not street could ride it... -it will probably be strong like the trex is... -low standover, decent wheel base for those uci type riders who mix street as well (basically big bunnyhops as well as bigger gaps) BAD -most who want 24" wheels will desire the standard double diamond... -24" will be harder to ride uci stuff on and rocks... -front end may be a tad low, but obviously a higher rise stem could sort this... im not a fan of 24" wheels for compy/uci/biu stuff, its just not right, although im 6ft1 so thats probably why...... i wouldnt like it, but younger smaller riders may well do...... interesting...

Tomm Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hmmm. Interesting. I guess it's good that people are producing (presumably) more affordable 24s, but I'm not sure about that one. Maybe as an alternative to a street bike though. 24" wheels are good no matter what geo you have, and I always wondered what a long, low (and silver) 24" would be like. I just can't help thinking that if you made it look less compy and less like a T-Rex/Coust/Others then it would sell better. Having said that, I bet the geo is very similar to my frame so it ought to ride fairly nice. So I guess we should not worry about the looks :P I suppose it's just a cross between a mod and a stock.

Brian Bleech Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 a mini trex...hhhmmm interesting. not sure how it will take off having a more trialsy 24" - i would certainly like to give it a try thats for sure, i would prefer it longer if you are gonna for a 'pure' trials 24" though. whats the news on the 24" ronnie/reggie, will they come in 36H and when are they gonna be released i need a new rear rim. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Jordan Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 interesting. Could be good for some young kids to start on who maybe can't actually physically haul a 26 around but don't wanna ride mod.? george j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) Hmmmm interesting. I would prefer a more traditional frame design, maybe a 24" woodstock instead. Any idea on the price and or realease date yet? Woops, didnt read it properly :"> I'll deffinetly buy some rims :P Edited September 6, 2005 by trialsboy560 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 no questions just yet mike :P thats what he asked :D lol ← ok i will rephrase it... ooohhh 24" ronnie/reggie, thats a good idea. You should release them soon i bet they would sell well. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 That looks proper gash :P :D Best off sticking to a streety design like the old pashleys than making them comp specific when making 24" bikes. Ohwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicH_87 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) I hope that's a new headtube/headset combination there and will be used on future frames cos i hate my t-pro headset so much. Its just plain cruddy. (loose as a hooker). As for the bike, looks pretty good, mini stock or biggy mod? i'd say it looks like a mini stock, rather than a 24" street bike. But i guess you know what you're aiming for. I know you said no questions but are those onza forks? EDIT: oh and just thought, maybe something more like a mini woodstock would be better than a mini t-rex. :P Edited September 6, 2005 by RicH_87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 The thing that always looked appealing with 24" bikes to me was that 'middle ground' between BMX and trials. But having a more 'trials' frame is missing the point a bit isn't it? I mean, who other than a small person would buy a 24" seat-less bike with flat bars?

Luke Rainbird Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Undecided myself. Can see a few advantages to it as said above, smaller riders/people who want less than 26" but not 20" However, I think that there's more demand for a street-style 24" frame for guys (like me) on a budget! Would like to get my hands on one of those to see how it rides though :P Also, any ideas on a price range if this was to be released? :D" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 if 24" bikes were allowed in comps, I would love somthing like that (but a bit longer). But I am afraid I am gonna repeat people above by saying it needs to be more bmxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeDotStuffAtOnzaDotCom Posted September 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 (edited) I only said that thing about the questions because of the usual how-much-will-it-be/when-will-it-I-be-able-to-buy-it that goes on, when answers to questions like that are completely unknown to us at the present time. Questions you think we might be able to answer - ask. Joe, I like to see the bikes arrive in different colours myself because you get a better idea of what bikes look like in other colours. I'm glad you like it, and I think you'd agree it would make life more boring if they all came through polished. By all means comment on the colours if you feel you have to, but it is a bit of a side issue. The seating arrangement is the same as for the 26", bolt one on if you want one. :P the ronnie/reggie 24" rims - they ARE coming. I'm not sure when, but soon.

rich4130 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I like the way you replied seriously about the colour :P If that was a simple doube diamond frame, build beefy, to the same strength standard as a T-rex, with a 1030 wheelbase approx, and similar geo to the 24" frames out there you would be onto a winner, that proto kinda defeats the object and point of a 24" bike.

hulltrialser Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 i love i love ill buy it. i like stock but its too big for me so i got a mod and dontlike it that much also i love the t-rex desing so id definately have one if it comes out.

Trebor Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I don't think there's much of a market for Pure 24" Trials Bikes. I think a Woodstock 24" could be pretty awesome, pretty trialsy but relatively short, plus if it gets tested as extensively as the Woodstock it could be awesome! Infact, I'd love to have a 24" Woodstock, that would be absolutely mint! Good to see that your continuing to try out the new things :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, who other than a small person would buy a 24" seat-less bike with flat bars? ← Maybe, or maybe we're all missing the point. Maybe this isn't supposed to be a ShiBMX™. Maybe it's just supposed to be a trials bike in between mod and stock, and I don't think that's a bad thing. In fact I think it's a good idea, why should we stick to 20"/26" wheels for trials bikes? Hulltrialser seems to like it, anyway :D I have to say I was a bit disappointed to see the Onza 24 look like that though. Maybe it's not the only model in the line-up though :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 It's an interesting idea. A "pure" 24" trials frame could be fun, really. Something to ride rocks on that's got the stability of a stock and the flickyness of a mod would be pretty nice, and the ability to ride it "pure" trials-style or do more bunnyhops and stuff would be nice. I know it's not got the seat (I know you can bolt the seat on, but it's not going to be in the same position as a 'real' seat-tube/post and seat combo), and it's not the 'double diamond', but it's the geometry that's important. Just because it doesn't have the same conventional double diamond frame, if it's got the same length, BB height, headtube angle then it's not going to be *that* different, really. It's jsut different ways of joining the key points together, isn't it? Either way, I think modelling the 24" model on the Woodstock, but giving it a bit more reinforcement (as 24s are mostly going to be ridden on street, so a lighter, more comp frame like the Woodstock might not have the girth) would be pretty spiffing, really...
