Think this is going to be my next bike build, in orange to use for local trail riding, improving my skills by getting back on a hardtail and using as my everyday commuter.
Please someone stick a turbo on that boat so I can get one quicker.

Mine's in the garage waiting to be built. Was hoping the Pikes for the front would arrive today but no luck: anyone know if parcelforce deliver on saturday? wouldn;t have thought so
Been trying imageshack - bit rubbish tbh
another one here. waiting for the house move to be completed then the button will be pressed. ( as long as the boat doesn't sink)
I was, then I read Brant's description of it and bought a Handjob instead.
Inbred stripped. about to bleed the brakes before I start fitting them on the new frame
how've you got your frames so quick?!
I killed my inbred (bent the chainstays), Brant heard about it and offered me a good deal on a Blue Pig. I persuaded him to send me one of the sample frames once it had been touted round the prospective local dealers

already been riding mine for a week. top bike so far
handles the alps pretty damned well I have to say.
what sort of build you running flowmtbguy?
Does this mean On Ones are rubbish now Brant has a new fanboy bike to follow?
a mish mash build - Juicy 7's / X9 2x9 drive train / Pro2 hubs with Syncros 28FR rims. 50mm stem, 745mm bars. 2.5 dual ply minion super tacky front / larson TT 2.35 dual ply rear. Coil pikes up front.

can't say I was ever a fan of the on-one - but I never rode one, so can't really say why!
I can say that the blue pig is pretty damned fun to ride - which is what it's all about, no?
Comparison of the two frames side by side. Beer o'clock now.
I liked the inbred, it was a hard choice between a raplcement inbred or something new, but hey, they niche value of having a frame before anyone else is worth it
Coogan my well abused green 456 will never be rubbish.
Would buy an orange BluePig if the 456 broke tomorrow though!
There are reasons you don't see many hardtails in the alps....
chairlifts, braking bumps, etc
(lights touch paper & gets another beer....)
Wouldn't mmmBop be better as it's much lighter?
I lust for mmmbop, mmmbop, mmmbop
Tho I expect it's quite a lot harsher. But it should take big tubeless tyres.
The new niche? Def,
