You'll Either Love Or Hate This Unique Bike build! 

The classic builds are great. And those rims look rad.

Just a random simple thought. Heavy trials bike makes your riding look much better. Just looks smoother and we can see way less small corrections from the side. Yep, you think that your riding were not the best on the Arcade but it really looked smoother then everything. It's like you have high-precision instrument or hummer in your hand. And thats why pure trials riding looks so bad for the most riders from the different disciplines. Uber-light bicycles with uber-high bottom brackets are the most reasons why trials is where it is now. Moving with your bike and making tricks or moving your body by using your bike. I just tired of this tones of messages in my local bike chat about weight of the parts, haha. Keep making vids! :)

Ahahahah! My favourite builds ever! Glad that you now have a new tool to install cups. I was surprised! And that headlock was brutal! 😂😂😂

Love the old school builds .your vids have made me get my trials bike out again. and now my son is ahowing an intrest . Keep up the good work and thank you

Great build, you should do a video of you lightening the frame and really everything else that you can, make it as light as possible in your garage!

My childhood dream!! Couldn’t afford so had the t-raptor

Since the Bloke you met called him Ooskill , i do it too when referring to him. Nice Throwback. And i love the drawer shots. So satisfiying imagining my own pile of tool stuff bedded in some Foam. I miss the Headplank though ♥

I have the same Onza rim + Hope hub combo on the front of my bike polo rig. Nice.

Onza was right on the edge of the market giving us the same style but slightly tweaked frame of a much higher cost. It worked. I really like mine and it could take a proper hammering. Lovely build Alic. Really curious about the back brake how your getting on with it.

I like how some of your tools have shaped foam padding with a cutout in the exact shape. Exuding elegance and a sense of precision. Meanwhile some of your other tools are wood blocks. Just ooga booga energy.

i got no darn idea about trial bikes. but that tiny, unusable seat adds just the right amount of comical absurdity, to me as a road bike casual, who only gets his ass of the saddle, to sideways hop up and down curbs, or blatantly ignore the existance of rough terrain, without slowing down. (not like underpowered brakes are gonna do much, going through slippery shit on slicks as wide a finger. at best you convert to what feels like ice skating. lol) respect to you trial folks, you're doing some mad shit! and we're all cytclists after all.

The new build is ao sick dude i loved the old hegehog rims when i had them. Looks great lots of love dude

Quite the upgrade on visuals, lovely bikebuild in a lovely shop.

Rims and frame are sick.

Lovely little piece of kit that 👌

NO WAY! 1.) Frame weight NO WAY! 2.) PROMAX Brakes! (I wanted to try those.) NO WAY! 3.) Seat PLATE?!!!! WoWWW

You make the best bike builds Ali!

In my experience as rider, mechanic and financier those brake mounts scream "HS 33 expensive, fixing awkward. PROTECT THE BRAKE!". Also drops the mass a little (look, it's not a huge amount but marginal gains or something). Wouldn't be shocked if a previous owner had the mounts moved for some similar purpose. It would also theoretically put the braking force in a location that frame could handle better which could allow a lighter brake booster or even no booster with the same or similar power. It would also help keep the old ball trap tucked out the way.

Goodnight little Porcupine

Funny, today in the morning I got a Promax im brake for testing and now in the afternoon I see your video 😂

The Onza T-rex looks rad! 🤙😍 2 of my riding buddies had the 20" version the Onza T-master. Btw, love these bike build videos!❤

I've had a trex and a hitman (very similar style frame with a few subtle changes brake mount and head tube )

I’ve never seen that rear mount on that bike before. Always wanted to try it for same reasons you described. Do you remember the Hoffman frames that had the Magura sandwiched between two horseshoes? That combined with a hose spiliter was the ultimate way to mount a magura.

That headlock had me in kinks 😂 you've been mentioning weight slot in this vid I use an 20×4 ebike inner tube it weights over 800g but have only had 1 pinch puncture in 2years

I would love to try one of these trials bikes out. Very hard to find used ones here in the states.

got to love them onza amazing

Can't I just love the video and hate the bike? Not that I do, but it would be a a nice option. Cheers from Sweden!

I have a t rex frame the same as that one (apart from the brake mount position) I never really used it though as it was purchased to supply parts for my 24seven holroyd.

The cats epic

Man is not sum of what he has already, but rather the sum of what he does not yet have, of what he could have.

Where can I get the seatpost mount? Been waiting for this build

The rim reminds me of Hellraiser.

Would you ever consider just for nostalgia getting a 20” onza or da bomb or even a mission prodigy those where the bikes me and all my mates craved as a 11/12/13 year old

Is the Hans Dampf or the Maxxis Ikon better for allround trailriding ?😶 Great build up!!!🤝🏻🔥 So nice oldschool🍻

I had quite a few onza bikes back in the day. T-bird, T-pro, T-Mag, T-Raptor, and a couple others. I wish I had them now. I remember there was only 1 main dealer, but I forget where it was and the name of it. Made my dad drive there a couple of hours away. Sorry dad ❤

Wait? I always thought the under Seat Stay Mounts was a feature on the earlier T-Rex Frames!?! My mate had a Blue/Black one with the exact same mount position. We always thought they were taking inspiration from BMX? Still to this day BMX Frames have the Brake Mounts on the CS S-Bend/Wishbone OR the underside of the Seat Stays! It's veeeeeeery unlikely haha, but I'll message him see if he has any pics of it. Almost certainly with all of us looking like dorky Edge Lords though 😄

Speaking of what the cat brung, Ali, your supervisor wasn't present for this one?? You did pass inspection in the end, tho'!!

Гидравлические Вибрейки))

after seeing you mess about on that bike for 5 mins.... i think we may have found your new fave comp bike! Geo seems to really suit ya

12+kg??? almost as heavy as my decathlon full sus 27.5. I'm shocked!

Yes I have been "un-subscribed" I missed 2 videos total 😂

I think another sponsored tartybikes video is about due ... Go and raid the warehouse again haha

I'm an "older rider" 😅

Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.

Why MacUskill?

porcupine not hedgehog

It's got a flame paint job. Hate it.

Your perspective is really interesting regarding jumping with lower bb bikes, for me while on a higher bb bike my body position is much more upright and therefore obstacles next to me while I'm on the rear wheel seem much lower thus making them easier to jump on 😄 cool build once again!

I have one of these frames hanging up in my workshop, it was my first proper trials frame and just loved the look of this thing!

Shame there's no footage of that up-and-comer Donny McOoskyll

I think the "hedgehog" is actually a porcupine. I seem to remember Onza having a porcupine bike or tyre or something (plus you can tell by the tail: hedgehogs don't have tails as long as that). *yes, I am something of a hog-spert :)

Been waiting for this

That D.mcNoskill is a triicky fella :)

I think it needs a test in a competition 😁 Looks neat

Love this build has to be my favourite build yet if you don’t mind me asking what was the build cost cheers keep up the good work

Ngl thoose drilled rims look pretty sick

Still have my t rex. 12kgs of old skool

The headlock and the saw noise dubbing proper cracked me! Good work!

I want one now 😕

Glad we could help and that the parts did the trick. Amy did eye-roll at getting our name wrong though! Ahaha. August Bicycles.

Anyone wanna buy my T-Rex full bike? Save it going to cash converters 😪😪😪

So I bought a cheap mod the other week, primarily because I wanted the HS33 brakes off it, but the cranks intrigued me. It has a front freewheel and the brand is Beatles. Even got their website url engraved into the back on the arms, which is of chinese origin and no longer active. Anyone ever heard of them? Can't imagine they lasted long with such a potentially litigious name.

Im guessing you havent ridden much bmx if you cringe in putting on chains at tension

Yep looks like a sample / proto. Might have been ridden by Ryan.

The porcupine is from their porcupine tyres !!

another proof that you are not from this planet.....

The seat being that close to the rear wheel just looks like a recipe for disaster!

I got so many build ATM but my "trials" bike is getting no progress past deciding 22 -18 with 83 links should match the 420mm chainstay.. giant iguana from like 2003 in tiny seems to fit me well

I own a early 80s monty trail runner trials bike a op replica and love the early 80s style

Wait ... Onza survived all the way until 2004? I thought they were gone by the late 90s. Or did a trials / BMX brand pick up the name? Though technically they were a bad design, or rather had bad bearings and needed regular replacement of the elastomers, I always loved the feel of their SPD alternative pedals. I wish someone would remake the Ti versions. Second only to Bebops in feel IMO.

looking forward to see how the dominion A2 compares to the A4, is this your first time running them?

Its sweet, that's what I think! I'd love to know about those mounts too. I think the promax deore is sweet too, and that seat is great, from a distance it looks completely standard!

Dude, you need to pressure wash that patio. Oh yeah, the bike's sweet!

Many memories here. Was my first proper bike the onza t rex. Silver frame blue flames

Haha the sawing sound effects. There were a couple of nice easter egg jokes this time

Nice paint job would make this look good Plus winter sucks for street unless you’re crazy like me cuz me and friends last Sunday decided to go out on Our JBs in the Wind rain and wet leaves because I can’t be bothered to use my glory I wish I had because it was so💀💀

*backwards wheelie… I will continue to remind you of this until you get it right. A backwards manual requires a freecoaster. Great video once again, really enjoy these old school builds!

I like how it looks with the chair. Nice effect work on the video.

I've had pretty good luck with viton o-rings for converting mineral oil stuff to DOT.

The elderly neighborhood became enraged over the coyotes who had been blamed for the poodle’s disappearance.

Nice build. I have the mk1 frame as my current( if I ever got the time ) trialish bike. It OK for what I do.

Love your builds Ali and that was a good one. Never seen an onza t-rex before. Weird

24:20 Now Top Tip : Use some chop sticks instead to keep your rims unharmed.

NIce one! I have a T-Rex too, with the regular brake mounts. I like It! Weighs still less, than the '10 UMF Hardy Steel 2 did before... :D I bought the Steel 2 to mod it for trials learning (after watching you here... :) ), and got the T-Rex when the Steel 2 reached its build limits, and wanted a trials specific frame. When I first built it up in early may this year, and did the first few rear wheel hops, I was amazed how well and easy it handles, compared to the Hardy Steel, I'd say too that it has a good geo! You look relaxed on this bike! Hoping to see you at a comp with it! :)

Been having the most frustrating day. No smiles. I've already laughed twice before the headlock. Thanks

Had one of these a while ago fairly hefty but will handle anything you throw it at

Literally spent nearly 2 years trying to get hold of some Trialtech high rise bars and @Ali_Clarkson pulls a pair out of fresh air! look forward to see how you find it rides though. As always, love the build vids!

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.

resubbing because im one of the ones yt unsubbed

its not eve electric, boooring...

Finally we get the St. Alistair to blow his horn!

Oh I would love to own one again! It was my first stock trialsbike back in ‘07-‘08 Was quite fun with short travel sus fork.

I love it, Would love to see a whole strip and resto. Perhaps some sparkly purple powdercoat and carbon hoops?

5:08 gu wan Ali! 'av him!

Tell Donny we said "Hello" 😏

If you ever want to sell or swap let me know 🤘☠🤘

A small question: is front tyre tread meant this way?

Does the zero BB height make it better for a learner?

10/10, would ride. I’d quite like an old zoot or zoot 2, they were both really cool bikes

Saddle looks pretty smart!
