OP - pics = Useless.
Nice Idea though, but Casp's right, how'd you stop it getting full of shite and pebbles?

probably some sort of asatate or something clear on the inside of the headtube properly sealed to stop crap going in id have thought
just a guess mind

Always fancied an Onza trials bike to mess about on. Remember seeing a Montessa T15 back in my early 80ws BMX days, just thought it was a square sectioned BMX until the owner explained to me. Still keep a ook out on the bay every now and again. Chris Akrig is my hometown rider, think he does ok on the world circuit...

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.

Nice, but I think the 1 inch steerer was a stupid move, I would have gone with 1 1/8th to allow flexibility for those wanting to use mtb forks or beefier forks which are mostly available in that size only.

Looks rather reminiscent of a Plug to me, albeit with fancier track ends (probably good) and that funny cutout/1" headset (probably not good). Not cheap, but I expect they'll sell a hell of a lot of these on the cycle to work scheme. Nice that it's butted though, so presumably a bit lighter.

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. -
we are distributing Araya rims
Interesting to know. Are you going to be bringing over all of the 700c rims? I'd quite like to get some low profile clinchers (i.e. like the golds, but not for tubs) at some point.
It's good to know that you are bringing back some of the mid-90s Onza stuff, it was great. You might want to check the recent posts in the bike porn thread for other companies whose products you should resurrect...

Onza fixed wheel
Posted by
@Casp
Onza bike company seem to be making a move into fixed wheel bikes.
Was at my LBS today picking up a seat post and one of the guys working there noticed my bike and said "so you're into fixed wheel stuff then, come and have a look at this!"
He took me upstairs from the workshop to and office (I know how its sounds) and introduced me to the new fixed wheel machine that Onza are going to be making. From memory (mine isn't the best) lugged track style frame and forks drilled front and back, Paul style rear track ends, Araya deep v machined rims, Powder blue/white paint job. lugged or CNC'd stem. Here's the interesting bit the head tube has a section cut out of it revealing the steerer tube which was painted like a barber's pole which obviously moves as you steer (crazy). Sorry no images i did try and find something on the net but nothing.
Apparently in a few weeks there will be a new site up called Onza Uno (i think) which will be geared towards fixed wheel bikes.
That is all!
