    I think the frame is the main issue. There is a lot f tyre clearance and
    it look like the frame is slightly bigger at the crown, which means you
    may offen hit your knees.

    Not only will you hit your knees but because the leg tubes aren't
    sealed on top you will also slice yourself open on them. It's got
    plastic caps and once those get chewed up or fall out you are exposed
    to the metal edge.

    I support the decision to go with the Nimbus ISIS

    Really? i didntknow they had plastic caps on the frame?

    Thats abit stupid. Youd think onza would have had the sense.

    But yeah i say Nimbus. (Y)

    I know, and especially after all the criticism of it on the older Onza,
    you would think they would have updated it.

    the black tops of the frame legs are the plastic caps:
