Seems an awful lot for a rigid bike to me.

I may be wrong here, but i'm guessing you're not the target market! 😀 neither am i mind.
On another note, what an ugly bike!
Never mind the price, that backwards fork is one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen!
I quite like On One, I own a 456, but there is no way I would pay 5k for one, no matter what spec it was.
What a complete minger
As this is a Ex-Display bik

[/img]Is it the bastard child from Corratec and a cruiser?
I could build a far slinkier, lighter 29er for a lots less.
nice to see string and glue bikes are making it through to budget bike companies like on one
EDIT are you sure they don't mean £499.00? no one in their right mind would spend that much for such a gopping swamp donkey
Forks OK IMHO but the frame, gawd that is ugly. Different shaped for the sake of "style". No ta.
It has all the aspects of a dodgy eBay ad.
Terrible spelling and grammar:
As this is a Ex-Display bik
Optimistic valuation:
From £4,999.00
Description that doesn't match the item as it was copied-and-pasted from elsewhere:
Note: Price is for frame only
😀
Am i the only one that thinks that's a misstype on the website?
Perhaps £1999, given the full SRAM XX build.
knowing how they price their bikes thats well ott, the frame looks ok to me its those wheels and tyres thats a minger
I assumed it was a typo and it's £499.99 frame only
Dear God, that is a bloody awful looking thing.
Even myself (who hasnt spent >£1000 on a complete bike) can say that looks like a pile of crap (for £5000 at least). I have one of the forks, branded by a different OEM company, people are exporting the forks for £60/piece, and if thats anything to go by the frame's probably only worth £300.
Where can the forks be had for 60? Would like a cheap set of carbon disc forks for my roadrat
Or you could have one of these...

One good tug on the front brake and it looks like you would be over the bars.
Nose heavy, ugly, monstrosity.
Perhaps £1999, given the full SRAM XX build.
In fairness, a full XX groupset is about £1,500. And this isn't even full XX - they've fitted some stupidly expensive FRM cranks. That'll be [url= http://www.frmbike.biz/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_74&product_id=127 ]€500[/url] for those, with the chainrings. And another [url= http://www.frmbike.biz/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=air-way&category_id=69&product_id=77 ]€400[/url] for the forks, [url= http://www.frmbike.biz/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_88&product_id=152 ]€145[/url] for the bars, [url= http://www.frmbike.biz/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_79&product_id=158 ]€100[/url] for the post and [url= http://www.frmbike.biz/index.php?route=product/product&path=69_87&product_id=336 ]€114[/url] for the stem.
It also has On-One's carbon wheelset, which is [url= http://on-one.co.uk/i/q/WPOO29ER/on_one_carbon_29er_wheelset ]£799[/url], so it probably isn't that much more overpriced than most bikes.
That said, it's still a £5,000 On-One, which is just wronnnng.
Dont pay with a debit card. Use a credit card, they have a bad reputation. Ive always received what i paid for. Else get them of ebay search hylix forks, they are more expensive but quite bonofide
Except ashfanman they're selling the excess cranks for £200, and probably the other bits, the brakes are going for £100 an end. The only expensive part of the group they're using is the cassette.
£5000 for that seems way overpriced, I assume typo!
I'm never likely to be in a position to spend 5k on a bike, however if I did, i'd be spending my money with one of the big boys, as they've done more R&D, and hopefully have built a better product..
The ugliest bike and one of the prettiest bikes ever have both been posted in this thread. You can work out which is which.

it's a bit like comparing dita von tease- curvy in all the right places, elegant and looks amazing fun to ride with jordan - hideous plastic monstrosity that's cheap and nasty but is trying to have a high class price tag and will probably explode in a cloud of sharp plastic fibres and savage your crotch
Where's the pretty bike?
They obviously mis-typed £49.99
It's an On One
It's definately a typo. No way would anyone pay nearly a fiver for that.

You could buy a car for that!
As somebody who's spent getting on for that much on a bike (more than once 😳 ), doesn't think there's anything wrong with spending serious amounts of money on an On-One, and doesn't think there's that much wrong with that bike...
it still seems incredibly overpriced.

Gotcha talkin though, job done!

'Weighing in at a mere 1315 grams'
that is not light
"The standout bike is the On-One Carbon 29er race. It looks great, weighs less than 29ers double it's price and rides brilliantly"- Bike Radar / What Mountain Bike...
So there are 10 grand bike that weigh more?
Surely its so next week it can be half price?
To MUNROBIKER! - that specialised race bike for £12 grand is what you would pay for a full blooded motorbike, utter nonsense. Saw a £10 grand Stork a couple of years back and it weighed so little you couldn't race it under UCI rules - totally pointless. Give you/me half the cash and we can spend it on something "proper" - or as Mr B Sheene once said, "I spent it all on girls, booze and having a good time, the rest I wasted!"
or the focus raven costs about the same and is nicer looking.

I thought it was George Best?
re: UCI rules - how many people who aren't sponsored to ride a specific bike anyway need to worry about this? Some people just like having the best/lightest/etc it's not always an entirely rational decision, is it, but it doesn't make them wrong.

It's only the McLaren edition, which is hand made by them. The 'normal' S-Works Venge is far far more sensibly priced (at least in the context of top end road bikes). How much do you pay for an MP4-12C? Makes that bike look rather good value...

Most road bikes over about £4000 are under 6.8kg, it's very easy to achieve these days. That's not the point though, there are either bikes like the Venge which are more aero than 10 year old TT bikes whilst being bang on the weight limit, or there are proper mental light bikes which totally flount the weight limit, and that's the point!
