you mean you've never been invited to Brant's shed for Friday naked margarita night?
You should email him and ask to be put on the invite list.
Never should have sold your Soul Richie 😉
Here's my much beloved 456, one of the first ones, still branded as an inbred.

Chris...I thought you had a sail attached to your bike in your the first pic....That would be Niche.
I reckon On one must have the best ratio of ridden bikes to bought bikes, (ie they are all ridden and not just bought and then sit in the garage)
than any other bike make.

Posted this pic few weeks back new build still not ridden due to Epping Forest now being below sea level 🙁
Now there's an idea! it does have a huge dent in the top tube though.. does that count as niche?
which is possibly a bit weird considering how many people probably buy an OO figuring them cheap enough to be worth a punt.I reckon On one must have the best ratio of ridden bikes to bought bikes, (ie they are all ridden and not just bought and then sit in the garage)
From a rather limited run (of two, IIRC)

Frame currently languishing in the garage with a knackered headtube 🙁
One day I'll get handy with some Araldite (or whatever it is you use to bond carbon...zipties or whatever) and resurrect it...

Here's mine, just finished and as yet unridden.
Inbred 29er, 80mm Rebas, SLX 3x10 and SLX tubeless wheels, Carbon monkey lites on Thomson stem, Twelfty post and nice San marco saddle. Make the rain stop!

Latest one, stealth black, carbon frontage, drilled to buggery and SS...like how it should have been made, rather than geared, orange and white! 😀

old proto scandal with 120mm forks

proto scandal with jones fork...at no time did my rambling emails to some geezer who scribbles bike angles and shizzle about the joys of a 55mm offset fork have any bearing on the 55mm offset that magically appeared with the fatty....must be pure chance

funnily enough it also had a 2.55x 29 tyre on a 45mm rim at 8psi a couple a years ago...looks like 29+ was mine as well 😆
also had a normal scandal 29er ss, and inbred 29er ss and and likkle wheel inbred ss....
Oh go on then.
The first with the seat post and saddle borrowed to go in the second.

The second. Great bike and the start of the 29er bug. Sadly no longer with me.
