Blimey it's bright orange in the flesh!! Looks cool though, especially as the first thing I did was to get rid of the nasty Yorkshire white rose and put a nice proper head tube badge on it. 🙂

This is cheering my up slightly from feeling too ill to ride on a really nice day.

Gonna get cracking with the build I think.

I'm liking the new colours/decals. I especially like the On-One logo without the white background.

I stand by the old saying "If it 'aint from Yorkshire its shit"

I'm glad your not soiling the Yorkshire emblem you dirty Lancastrian scum.

Si smoother boat ride from the US! Probably came first class with some fizzy wine and fish eggs. Prefer the slightly dirty Far East look myself (good protection being a must) 😉

Well I bought it small on purpose, though lining it up against my medium Pitch it doesn't look that small at all really.

Needed it to be small enough for my gf to use, plus I want to use it for messing about on jumps etc so small is good for me.

Nice colour.

Do they save money by getting you to draw the decals on yourself with magic marker though?

Was about to say you might be able to get a standard 456 in pink or brown but they are all sold out too in 14". Oh well, I guess mine will be exclusive then, can't have been too many of them 🙂

Probably a daft question, but do you need to get the BB, headtube and brake tabs faced before you build it?

I emailed on one about that and they said it wasn't necessary as they are faced as part of the production process. Only just put it together but no problems so far installing stuff.

OK - unpacked, ready to start building now. For all the orange that Grumm's is, mine's very, very green. My initial fears about the blueness of the kit that's going on it (that worked fine on the white Inbred) are a lot less now that I've seen it against the seatclamp. It's too late now anyway - it'll have to do!

You can't beat an inbred for value, but in my opinion the graphics have just lost their subtle touch.

Sorry about the state of the garage, the amateurish quality of the pic and the bits of bike all over the place, but it's built and I think it's ok? Brakes need a bleed, head badge needs fitting, saddle needs a level and the chaintugs need some playing with...

... but it'll be finished tomorrow night. Happy days. 🙂

I really like the green and think the blue goes quite nicely 😀

The brown seat against the green frame is the clincher though.

Best one yet.

Thanks BlingBling - very kind. The grips are the Spank chocolate ones - a bit darker brown than the Charge saddle, but not far off. Just want to find some lock on collars in blue that'll fit the grips - they seem a bit chunkier than ODI ones, but it might just be me.

Coolhandluke - you'll find it further up the thread. I've got one too, and it's really nice - finishes the frame off very well, and a great bit of craftmanship as far as I can tell.

Green one is looking nice, not too sure about the blue and brown, think either one on its own would look cool but not sure about both. imho 😛

sonik - mine is a 14". Its a 'play' bike for me and a regular bike for my missus.

ive chickened out of the headset fitting for tonight i think

MTFU 😛

Cheers grantway

looking good fellas.

Yay, got my green sliding drop inbred when I got home from my night ride last night.

Boo, the missus has let me check it over but has now put it away till xmas (is a present from her), no amount of arm twisting is going to convince her that I need to build it now.

Must say for £135 it looks bloody well built, my Curtis costs almost 6 times the amount and I wouldnt say the quality of the welds is any better, but time will tell.

Can anyone tell me how long the gear cables would need to be for a 16" 456? Trying to order the outers so I can build up as soon as frame arrives!

On that orange frame, did i see non-slotted cable guides on the top tube?
What is it with on one and solid cable guides?
Apart from that nice frame.
