Thought I'd post these pics up, Its the first model of fixed bikes Onza have produced. It will retail at £599 and should be available though most shops in the UK in about a month. The "Deco" has fully sealed bearing hubs built onto deep section Araya rims. Flip flop rear hub supplied with both freewheel and fixed sprocket. Full double butted 4130 cro-mo frame and forks. Sealed Onza 1" headset, Onza's own reverse chain tension drop out, (not just off the peg). Cut out headtube with barbers pole sticker supplied on the steerer tube but obviously you can change it it to what you like to add your own personal touch. Also available in electric Orange. Any questions please just ask.
The frame is rather a bit more expensive compaired to regular off the shelf track frames, but we wanted to put our stamp on them. We use the dropouts and head tubes on our trials bikes.I'm not with bike at the moment but I'll get a weight to guys soon.
Just a few answers to some points raised. The original Onza company which
made the elastomer pedal went bankrupt in 1995. We bought all their
intellectual property in 1999, so the brand is the same but a different
company. As well as the Ule grips, which have gone down a storm, we have alo
re-introduced a slightly modified longer Porcipaw grip and the original Porc
2 Kevlar tyres.
This first Uno fixie bike is the result of a lot of hard work in development
and we are pleased with the result. We opted for a 1" headset as the frame
and forks are slim and elegant and 1" better suited it. The Mongo 3 headset
has industrial sealed angular contact bearings. The actual bearing size is
the same but smaller ring diameter, so is equal in strength to a 1-1/8". The
actual fork is tig welded cromoly straight bladed and is supremely strong
and responsive and I cannot for the life of me see why anyone would want to
plonk a fat ugly ATB fork in it. If anyone wants to fit a 1-1/8" a-head stem
we have lots of shims in stock to cater for that.
The cut out head tubes have been featured on Trials bike for years now with
no problems.
We welcome input and constructive criticism from you guys at the sharp end
which is why we are talking here now. We are a small family business who
live and breath bicycles, and it took us 10 years to become UK no.1 in
Bicycle Trials so we know we are in it for the long haul. We hope this is
the first of many such bikes and we will constantly strive to improve. In
addition we make Tensile products including many single speed items plus we
are distributing Araya rims, so plan to offer a large range of single speed
and Fixie products. Our single speed converters and chain tensioners are
already making an impact.
