Think this is going to be my next bike build, in orange to use for local trail riding, improving my skills by getting back on a hardtail and using as my everyday commuter.
Please someone stick a turbo on that boat so I can get one quicker.
Mine's in the garage waiting to be built. Was hoping the Pikes for the front would arrive today but no luck: anyone know if parcelforce deliver on saturday? wouldn;t have thought so 🙁

Been trying imageshack - bit rubbish tbh
another one here. waiting for the house move to be completed then the button will be pressed. ( as long as the boat doesn't sink)
I was, then I read Brant's description of it and bought a Handjob instead.
Inbred stripped. about to bleed the brakes before I start fitting them on the new frame
how've you got your frames so quick?!
I killed my inbred (bent the chainstays), Brant heard about it and offered me a good deal on a Blue Pig. I persuaded him to send me one of the sample frames once it had been touted round the prospective local dealers 🙂

already been riding mine for a week. top bike so far 🙂 handles the alps pretty damned well I have to say.
what sort of build you running flowmtbguy?
Does this mean On Ones are rubbish now Brant has a new fanboy bike to follow?
a mish mash build - Juicy 7's / X9 2x9 drive train / Pro2 hubs with Syncros 28FR rims. 50mm stem, 745mm bars. 2.5 dual ply minion super tacky front / larson TT 2.35 dual ply rear. Coil pikes up front.

can't say I was ever a fan of the on-one - but I never rode one, so can't really say why!
I can say that the blue pig is pretty damned fun to ride - which is what it's all about, no?

Comparison of the two frames side by side. Beer o'clock now.
I liked the inbred, it was a hard choice between a raplcement inbred or something new, but hey, they niche value of having a frame before anyone else is worth it 🙂
Coogan my well abused green 456 will never be rubbish. 😀
Would buy an orange BluePig if the 456 broke tomorrow though!
There are reasons you don't see many hardtails in the alps....
chairlifts, braking bumps, etc
(lights touch paper & gets another beer....)
Wouldn't mmmBop be better as it's much lighter?
I lust for mmmbop, mmmbop, mmmbop
Tho I expect it's quite a lot harsher. But it should take big tubeless tyres.
The new niche? Def,
