    All I want to know is the frame weight of their 45650b frame. Emailed, tweeted, fb post. No responses….obviously they don’t want my business so can anyone recommend a similar priced frame with 44mm headset and capable of handling a 140mm ish fork or in fact supply me with this mysterious information that on-one don’t wish to divulge. Thx.

    And I’ll guess at 5.5 to 6 lbs whilst I’m here.

    It’s going to be 6lbs, give or take, but even if it was a pound or two either way would you honestly notice??

    i don’t get the bagging on on-one all over the forum at the minute – i thought people liked them for doing pretty innovative and relevant things at stupidly low prices and being small and british.
    Then the second they don’t give multi-national corporate slick service everyone stomps all over them.
    Can’t have it both ways.

    about the same weight as 9 tubes and 4 plates of steel welded together, plus or minus some paint, grease on the threads and the stickers.

    I’m actually upset they’ve never upset me, I feel left out.

    I too feel left out by not having them give me poor service. I may actually have to rectify that by making my first order.

    I’m guessing that someone who works in retail identified you as a customer who would be too much bother … 🙄

    Great products, super fast delivery, zero customer service.

    They sent me a small top instead of a 3XL. My first thought was not kidding about Italian sizing.

    They’re sorting it without any bother of course and it made my wife laugh (possibly at me but that’s life)

    Evenif you get a reply it won’t be helpful!

    The one time I asked about a frame I got a sarcastic snarky reply. So I just bought something elsewhere instead.

    If you’re overly bothered about weight, then i’d suggest you’re looking at the wrong frame.

    Did you ask on myspace, bebo, snapchat, instagram, friends-reunited or strava? 🙂

    (my guess is around 2.6kg)

    Half way down the thread but there are other results if you just use google to give you an idea.

    Heavier than more expensive bikes that do the same job.

    If you are a weight worrier you may want / need to spend more!

    Similar to 456 evo2.
    That’s 5lb 10oz. Add a couple of ounces for the bigger headtube, so call it 5lb 12oz
    No Kate Moss that’s for sure!

    that must be what they though when my sister went in with cash in hand to buy a Pompetamine if they could facilitate swap for flat bars… no sale! she happily spent her money elsewhere

    When weight is such a finite figure and so many manufacturers have imaginative ways of weighing things then it’s hard
    I’ve seen carbon frame weights quoted for smallest size raw frames with no paint or metal fixings like cable guides or bearing faces.

    We weigh production items on a park tools scale and quote it.
    I’ll get our content team to raise their game on this.

    Our dropper compatible seattube has added frame weight for sure. And the 44mm ht too. But it’s for a good reason I think.
    Yes, steel frames used to be lighter. When forks were six inches shorter and levered the frame less, and when 27.2m seatposts ruled the roost along with skinny inch forks.

    I like the weight game. Coming from motorbikes, I remember an interview with Kawasaki… They designed the second 636, and naturally tested it against the competition. When they had a retailable package they liked, they weighed it “dry” and discovered it was about 20kg heavier than the competitors. Heart attacks all round, til someone decided to weigh the others…

    It turned out that they were all crooked weights, and all by pretty much the same amount- so that the absolute numbers were fibs but the result was actually fair, the lightest bike had the lightest fake weight and so on. So, feeling a sense of honour, they worked out where their bike lay in the scheme of things, and then made up an “honest” lie to match the others. As far as I know, this is still the standard process for “weighing” sportsbikes.

    Halfords can knock out a complete bike for £70. On One frame, most likely from the same factory costs twice that. And we’ve all been led to believe this is fantastic value for money…

    Halfords can knock out a complete bike 50lb POS BSOs, sold at much higher volume, to a completely different market for £70. On One frame, most likely from the same factory costs twice that. And we’ve all been led to believe this is fantastic value for money…

    Ftfy. Dacia sell cars for £6k brand new. Caterham kit car, made from the same raw materials, cost 3 times that. And we’ve been led to believe this is fantastic value for money

    I didn’t realise halfords and on one used the same factory, oh hang on this is just wild speculation with no basis in fact, otherwise known as the internet!
    I’ve had good service from on one and not so great service from them as well but it’s always been sorted out and I like the stuff they do so I’ll continue to use them, Fatty is most fun bike I’ve ever owned, even if it is a halfords knock off!

    I tried contacting them to asking what’s happening to the complete 45650b. On 9th of December brant wrote on Facebook “very very soon” or sth like that. Haven’t seen a thing about it. I would be interested in the codeine too, but I’m guessing these complete builds won’t be available until summer at earliest….

    Thanks for the info Brant, yep no Kate moss…but i’ve never fancied her anyway. Just got to work out costs of moving to 650b now. Maybe I’ll be ok with 26″ forks and wheels for a bit?

    26.8 mm still rules… at least in my world.
