RockMan's newest frame

Brand new from RockMan, the Austin 20" frame, as seen in their Austin complete bike. Up for sale at £279, the frame's a great value alternative to RockMan's more expensive frames such as the Manus or Aurem.

New stuff...

Quite a lot of new stuff's been appearing on the home page over the past couple of days (plus some older items are now back in stock). Main two would be the Onza Limey 4 and Onza Genesis frames.

The Genesis has pretty solid geometry (1085mm WB, 380mm CS, +55mm BB) and a good overall weight of 1.56kg, with a price tag of £329.








The Limey 4 has some new-school UCI-style geometry (1095mm WB, 380mm CS, +70mm BB) and a slightly lower weight of 1.51kg. The Limey 4 comes in at £449.

2012 Ozonys products

We've just received stock of some new 2012 Ozonys products! First up are three (technically four...) updated frames - the Cannibal V3, King Of Dunce V2 and the Curve V3 in two different models.

First up is the Cannibal - a great all-round frame, with some slightly less extreme geometry than a lot of new frames. It's also built to be strong, so features good reinforcement throughout the frame to help make it as stiff as possible. The graphics have also been updated for 2012, with a new gloss black finish over the frame's satin black anodised finish - teamed up with some nice green graphics.

Wheelbase: 1070mm
Chainstay Length: 380mm (18:15 gear ratio with no half link)
BB Rise: 35mm
Head Angle: 73 degrees
Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 660mm







Next up is the King of Dunce - a 24", street-orientated frame with some unique touches. For example, the built-in tensioners are a nice addition, and 2012 sees the braking option switched up to feature a post mount only setup (which comes with an additional +20mm adaptor). Ozonys have also added a couple of gussets to key areas to help shore them up - always good with the beating most streety 24" frames receive from spins and tricks.

Wheelbase: 1045mm
Chainstay Length: 375mm
BB Rise: 25mm
Head Angle: 72°
Reach from centre of BB shell to centre top of head tube: 660mm (25.9")








The Curve has been one of the most talked about frames since it's inception thanks to it's unique looks, and it's been freshened up for 2012 with some new graphics and slightly thicker tubing. This brings the frame weight up a touch, but should result in a stronger, longer-lasting frame. There's also now an even more beefed up model for more street-orientated riders which features even thicker tubing as well as a reinforced standard headtube instead of Ozonys' traditional sculpted internal headtube.

Wheelbase: 1090mm
Chainstay length: 380mm
BB Rise: +55mm
Head Angle: 71
Centre of BB shell to top centre of head tube: 650mm (25.6")
