I have one of the original white ones... It rides like a dream and I have no doubt in it's strength! Have taken some big drops and hits with no sniff of any problems. On-One have a showroom between Sheffield and Rotherham where you can go and check one out.

Yeah, here you go...

Plain stealth black works best IMO. Not really a fan of On One's graphics.

Rides beautifully. I love it.

They don't look as bad as you might think built up. The graphics are also a good idea IMHO. The frame looks hideous around the headtube and the decals do a good job of breaking up the lines and fooling the eye.

any excuse;

I do find having had it for a few weeks now that it doesn't look quite as chunky as I thought. Certainly riding it you can only see the top tube whish is quite wide but not knee bangingly so.

I got this whilst they were sprayign up the new frames - I thionk the 'inside edge' painting to break the lines up os probably a good thing but not seen one in the flesh to be certain.

Chakaping - what stem is that? Faceplate looks in keeping with the C456 styling.

I've got one too - certainly not as chunky in the flesh. My matt finish 16" came in at 1398g on my lab scales which is a huge saving over the steel one and not much more than the whippet!
