What do you reckon? 29er looks a little like the Niner Air Nine Carbon don't you think?

Put me down for a whippet please.

Hmm - not my cup of tea really - I like the kinesis KM-810 (but not its price) but as you can see I'm not inline for a 140-160mm HT. I don't like the XC version. Shiny black is 'orrible but I presume this will be painted
But the braze on looks horrible and the press fit BB? Eh? Weight saving? I am sure others will love it I am sure but not for me Price should be good though

It will probably be offered in basic colours like the Planet X Carbon bikes.

They suggested £500 for the Carbon 456 IIRC?

look nice, but i bet on-one will blow it with crap decals. I agree with foxyrider that the km 810 looks the buisness but you can clearly see that kinesis has spent some time on getting the look right.

Whippet pls
Posted 2 years ago # -
Will the whippet be a similar price/weight?
Personally I was thinking about some personalised decals if it does come completely plain.

Agreed. I think it would do them no end of good if On-One/Planet X hired a graphic designer instead of (apparently) doing everything with Word Clipart.

i wonder how light a SS whippet could be made up

We have tried to develop a Carbon Frame for everyone
http://www.on-one.co.uk/news/products/q/date/2010/04/14/new-carbon-and-titanium-bikes-for-2010 more news on the 29er to come... and if you want to scratch and sniff the 29er for weight it is going to the XC WC at Dalby. We are looking at other ways to apply the "clipart" graphics joke... These are shiney samples hot off the press and are need some graphic work... Agreed this is Carbon so deserves a NEW look for On-One. We will take a vote on our website next week.

Whippet looks good. What's the frame weight, if the 29er is sub-1kg!
Posted 2 years ago # -
If the whippet comes in at £500 only bankruptcy will prevent me from getting one!

Youve still managed to retain the cocked-up disc side dropout is see, well done.
Posted 2 years ago # -
if their claim that the 29er HT carbon is <1kg is true then you may have to put me down for a 26" whippet frame with SS dropouts aswell, how light will that be? My tranny frame is 1500 ffs
gaaaaah carbon jealousy rage!
Posted 2 years ago # -
If the whippet frame si a light as the 29er and <£500 it'll sell like hot cakes!
It can't possibly stay in one pice at that weight though surely? Its half the inbred's weight! Whats the warrenty?

I want a Carbon 29er with singlespeedable dropouts to put a Rohloff on. When is that coming???

Rotisserie grave-bound Brant? je ne quois pas!
I think when the carbon On-One bikes were first announced Brant commented on the story (in a forum thread), and IIRC he was fairly complimentary regarding the innovative direction they were taking (i.e. cost-effective carbon).
Plus, he's not dead.

I actually like the matte 'nude' finish on the carbon 456 as shown. Will that be an option, or will they all come painted?

Posted 2 years ago # -
Reaallly like the 29er - matt carbon looks great, especially without the graphics - how about supplying stickers, so we can decide to leave them off?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Colours for Carbon will go to public vote... The XC frames we are thinking NUDE to save weight. The 456 may also getting the same treatment. The 456 as a complete bike may come in high-vis colours?? The new PX frames have had a complete refresh. My favourite is a gloss black on matt black ...and yes the graphics guy used ClipArt V23

If you mean nude as in no cosmetic weave, then yes oh yes oh yes.
