basher Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 It looks like a 24 inch which made me think it is the onza zoot and also looks like the zoot but it has a echo 05 rear rim by the looks of it which where only made in 26'.

King C Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'm pretty sure that was a T-Rex prototype made for the Tarty boys but I'm prepared to be corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Yeah, and mavics are only made in 26"Looks kinda like a beefed up T-rex with horrible geometry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun H Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 I'm pretty sure that was a T-Rex prototype made for the Tarty boys but I'm prepared to be corrected.Yeah was Adam Reid's proto T-Rex Onza asked him to test.Basically a T-Rex with a load of BB rise. No idea why it didn't go further, I was under the impression that he liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Biddle™ Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 i know adam from tartybikes was runing it for while said he was testing the frame for onza and saw a vid of it a while ago but thats all i have got at the moment im really surpsrized they didnt decide to make this a production model frame cheers biddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanie-b Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 The T-Rex came out before this prototype. BlaggerWhat I was just about to say.'The model we know now' is just the t-rex, as it has been for many years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Poyzer @ Onza Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Precisely what has been said. This was a prototype version of T-Rex with an 80 mm BB rise. For every frame which goes into production we probably produce 10 which never make it. Decisions for production are based on feedback from riders and we have to make commercial forecasts based on our knowledge of the market.

James Quigley Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 ''A T-Rex that has been kicked in the balls'' was my favourite quote about itWould have been nice with a lower BB rise than 80mm (If what was said about it being 80 was true) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
