  3. if you want it to be good combo of a trials and street uni, that one
    has too much clearance between the wheel and the frame on the top. i
    find it way easier with a low clearance for stand up ww, and stand up
    glides. just me, so if i were you i wouldnt get that one.

    the crown is quite flat and gives you much support while doing standup
    wheelwalk.
    The problem is that the crown is a bit too high though, about 70mm from
    top of my creepy crawler to the top of the crown..
    While the KH has about 35mm!

    The 58$ between the onza and the KH is worth it if you're of to do much
    freestyle skills..

    Edit:
    I have the onza 2005 trialcycle, and i love it, have painted the frame
    and rim white..
    It's light (5.75 kg, with cut down saddlefoam) and rigid.
    But, i prefer my freestyler to do standup wheelwalk if i put it that
    way 😉

  6. You should get the Bedford heavyduty or heavyduty air, from
    bedfordunicyles.ca, shipping might be cheaper.

    I have no problem standup wwing on large frames.

  7. I say doing Freestyle on a trials is difficult to me but anyway i say
    just buy a strong trials wheelset then buy a frame you like and a
    saddle. easiest thing to do in my world. hope you find one you like.

  8. i love my kh trials
    it's lighter than the onza, and if u get it from Darren Bedford, it'll
    come w/ the new low proflile, tilted-back KH fusion seat that is just
    amazing for seat out and for sitting comfort!!!

    the low crown is also a real plus, it's very similar to a freestyle
    crown, if not better, because it's so low and flat

    the new KH seat is also stiffer than the other fusions so it's less
    likely you'll need to upgrade to carbon fiber

    a 3rd reason to get KH not onza is that the frame fits the KH bearing
    mud flaps perfectly whereas if you look at the onza they just sorta
    float outside of the frame (just an asthetic thing)
    o and the KH main cap holders are nicer :-)
