The 'special edition' 456s are late arriving at on-one. They are going to be Satin Black/Black decals. On One have the same frame without the decals in stock and I'm not good at being patient. Really not bothered about stickers and frankly it's not a looker is it? 🙂

Sure I've seen some pics on here, but totally failed to find them.

You can get some bespoke decals made up at a later date if necessary. Personally, I'm not that keen on the black decals on black version. I think the raw looks good, but it is very raw, not seen a satin finish in the flesh yet.

None more black 🙂 Ta. Destickered it is then. All the components I have are black except for silver bars like those ^^ so happy with that. Somehow it doesn't look quite as ugly as frame only.

I might still buy a blanket tho so it doesn't upset the children 😉

Chatting with Jamie at on-one, he tells me it's clear lacquer over the carbon so you can see the weave. It might look 'orrible for but £300 who cares. Best way to avoid looking at it is to ride it...

in normal daylight it doesn't look too bad, flash or nightlights really shows it up.

They just sold out of the satin ones. Have to wait for the new stock. Nearly bought a red one for £299 at Christmas but talked myself out it. Black is the new Red apparently 😉

Looked at both raw and satin 'in the flesh', I couldn't tell a difference. Went with raw as it had decals:

It had different dropout mounts to the new stuff which took a few days and trips back to sort out!
