Why carbon when the scandal 29er is so light, strong and affordable?
Posted 1 year ago # -
Cos it's lighter and stronger?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I have a sample & it flys very comfy,its was 22.5 lb with my winter crap on,have just stripped it so i can put all my nice new bits on i think it will then be around 20/21 lb
Posted 1 year ago # -
Milky, is that 20/21 with gears and hope stuff, suspension fork etc?
Send some pictures when you've done!

They have one built up in the showroom at On One and it looks immense.
Super freaky mega immense.
And a little bit like how you'd draw a "bicycle of the future" at playschool...Give me 26" wheels anyday (on a mountain bike) but I can sort of see the attraction if it's what you're after. The pictures on the web don't really do it justice. I reckon it would freak your competitors out on the startline before you've even turned a pedal!
Seems you can order frame or bike on the site at the mo too.

Gosh!!!
I've just looked on On One's site at the carbon 29er bike. Too modern for me. Old and set in my ways!Posted 1 year ago # -
i'm hanging on for the 'lurcher' carbon 29er with swap-outs apparently available April/May this year......

Because the OP spends more money on bikes than I earn in a year

bonesetter I've got all the info regarding frame geometry, sizing prices and import duties on those chinese carbon 29ers which also come with a 2 year warranty and full CEN certification. I've also found a supplier for BB30 EBB's so it can could be run as gearie or ss at silly weights. The frame has appeared at sea otter with various companies logos on it and seems to normally retail for around $1400.00
1100g frame (17.5) and 500g fork into the uk for about £500 including shipping and import duty n Vat.
email me if you want all the links, contacts etc..
Frames will apparently be ready for dispatch in early Feb

Tazzy, what sizes do the Chinese frames come in. I'm guessing there's no 21" sizes available? Cheers
Posted 1 year ago # -
19" is the biggest I've seen from the supplier I'm dealing with, but I'm waiting for some info from another couple of companies regarding different frame designs, on of which looks just like the spesh 29er ss
so may well be available in a larger size. I'll let you know what turns up
Posted 1 year ago # -
I'd appreciate it, cheers Tazzy.
Posted 1 year ago # -
tell a lie I've just double checked the spreadsheet, they do a 21"!!
is your email in ya profile, I'll chuck all the info over

The lurcher carbon 29er will be circa 499 pounds so for the sake of a little wait youll be getting a designed in yorkshire by on-one (by a kiwi and a belgian bloke) frame for the same or even less ! togethor with swapout dropouts plus backup by a company thats been around for 20 plus years .
The 500 pound carbon chinese open mold direct import also should technically be subject to a lovely 48.5% anti dumping duty if the correct customs code is used , and if it isnt used then better hope george osborne doesnt read singletrack cos believe me HMCE are well and truly after filling their coffers . So theres a high risk of another 200 pounds or so more tax to pay .
Posted 1 year ago # -
are you doing a nude version of the lurcher or will it be covered in the playschool graphics like the race version?
the chinese 500 (ish) quid package includes the fork as well and the shipping and the duty as calculated based on the coding, insurance and value of the item plus the VAT so it's not quite as you rightly explain to big up your own commercial business (not that I blame you)
Posted 1 year ago # -
Tazz - looks very tempting. I'll have a closer look over the weekend and decide if that's OK. Thanks

bonesetter- I'm not going to be making any descisions yet, just doing lots of homework, unitl some funds become available. TBH the chinese carbon sold by on-one lurcher may be an option, but for the extra weight of it compared the race frame I may just stick with my scandal for SS and get a niner for 1x9 racey duties.

Having looked at the HMRC it seems unlikely that the ADD would be applied for single items as all ADmeasure listed have been against large commercial imports that would deleterious to businesses in the EC.
If the frames are undecorated or with no logo's my understanding of the regulation is that it would count as a unfinished item or sample, so neatly bodyswearving the who thing and HMRC would be unlikely to instigate a costly investigation for one frame. Interestingly that other on-one folks have used this line about competition from carbon frame imports on other cycling forums as well.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Anti dumping duty is applied where items may be imported into the ec at less than market value, if certain uk companies are knocking out carbon frames for around 400 pounds then a chinese import to the door will be comparable in value if not slightly more expensive then they are getting them for before pre markup so it would appear to be a bit of smoke screen mr on-one/planet x
Posted 1 year ago # -
Why anti dumping at 48.5%? please explain!
Posted 1 year ago # -
ordered one, so i'll let you know what i think of it in due course. it will be a while though. if its good enough i'll probably get a lucher too:-)

Bloody hell, you're doing a lot to change my opinion about plastic bikes.
Posted 1 year ago # -
Wondering if anyone has received their On One Carbon 29er yet, that was pre-ordered? I pre-ordered the complete bike in January - received an email about a week and a half ago that the frames were supposed to be arriving in the UK last week. Hopefully they are in now, and starting to get shipped out to customers - certainly looking forward to mine.
Posted 1 year ago # -
I've got one on order also, but I think I'll be in the 2nd batch of bikes, hopefully at the end of the month.
Will be interested to hear what you think when you've got yours.Posted 1 year ago # -
The frames (well the 1st batch at least) are here.
My cousin ordered a frame before Christmas and was waving the thing under my nose yesterday.
Looked very nice!Posted 1 year ago #
