Looking at one of their 08 29er's at the moment but not heard anything about them so if someone can give me some feedback i would be most grateful.

Cheers

also been looking into this as the frame is a bargain; very little on the web though - a search on mtbr found some basis geometry information but no frame angles

viper seem to have offered 'the 29' as a complete bike and the spec has narrow rims and tyres therefore mud clearance may be an issue - the lengths mentioned on this website seem very long.....!

the 2008 frame is red, earlier models were baby blue

Spoke to Hotlines and they reckon that the angles are 73* for the seat and 71* for the head angle. They also reckon that it will hangle 2.1 tyres easily. At £112 for the frame i might just take a punt on it 😯

😯 CP's bikes are much bigger! He's been trying to convince me to buy one of those :/
I'm about 2" taller than CP and had a quick go on his Turner Sultan which I thought felt really good, but its a whole new set of wheels/forks as well and even more annoying is that On-One's 29er wheels went up by 30% last weekend 🙁

sorry not mine; i've a custom lynskey / ti29er / sultan and I am lusting over a ferrous at the moment - so there is no more room in the inn.....!

i did a thorough search for information and that is all I can find about that bike, suggest a call in to hotlines to check whether those dimensions are correct

nige - the on one wheels are still £30 cheaper than the CRC ones mind....
