Minor gripe - impossible to get the back wheel off with the tyre inflated without removing one side of the brakes.
Get some disc brakes then you luddite 😛

What new devilry are these discs of which you speak? Next you'll be uttering voodoo such as "suspension"!
Seriously, had to build her on a bit of a budget as I wasn't expecting the old bike to die 🙁 Nice that we can still get frames for those of us stuck in the '80s 🙂

I'll post mine on this thready when I get it build up. Won't be till January though.
Far too many gears on this thread so here's a proper one!

Maiden voyage last night, feels great but observations: I'm 6ft, its an 18" and feels very ample in size. Seatpost is a 350 and I'm on the min insert level, recommend a 400! Got a 100mm stem, needs more like 60-70mm as a bit of a stretch. Not enough adjustment in the on-one chain tug screws if the axle is halfway along the slot which I'm at with a 34T/17T combo and new chain. Longer screws or a half-link chain will sort that. Running 120 forks off my old bike but after a while will do a back to back swap out with the GF's Fox 100s to see if it quickens things up a bit and impact to climbing. Anyone got any opinions on running 4" or 5" up front on a standard inbred? Especially the standup SS variety.
Back to the mud...

100mm on my slot dropout SS style inbred felt nice and quick and climbed very well. Still felt confident on steep downhills though.
Looks nice Will - mine (same frame as yours) has 100mm Rebas on, a 90mm stem, and I'm 5' 11" on an 18". I don't know if it's the colour but I thought my frame looked quite large against my white 18" one - but it could just be me losing the plot... 😕
I've got the same chaintug problems - I've put an 18T on the back (32 up front) and whilst the 16T Surly cog was spot on with a regular chain, I've had to go to a half link chain to get the tension right with the 18T cog. I think it may be because my chaintugs have a square leading edge, and the dropouts are rounded (obviously). Maybe when the On One tugs come into stock next month as they're expected to do, they'll give more adjustment. Can anyone let us know what they're like please?
My sons frame turned up earlier!! Chocolate with cream decals. Loaded with coarse metallic flake in the base coat, not everyone's cup of tea but looks good in the flesh so to speak.

That metallic chocolate looks rather nice, slapp - he'll be made up with it.
Anyway - there's way too many clean, shiny, pristine new On Ones on this thread 🙂 , so here's a pic of my slot drop Inbred with a muddy bottom...

I'm really very pleased with it - and like the spec I've got now, having done away with the brown bits, and the 18T on the back certainly makes it easier to get up th' hills - if a little spinny on the flat.
Here's mine at last

Seat down for a few rounds on the BMX track. Feels great. It's 18 and I was worried it would be too big. I'm 5'll, but ride a 24 inch BMX. With the 50mm stem it feels good and tight. I like that i don't need a bunch of spacers under the stem. Height feels just right.
Mine's so close to being a useable bike, but buying on eBay has its risks and the lack of X-9 rear mech is because my seller took a long while to get it posted. The bike gets muddy for the first time at Swinley next weekend.

I feel the coffee/chocolate/poo frames have been under-represented. My only MTB, now has a 'proper' chainstay protector, awaiting delivery of a 1x9 chainguide. Feels very different to my old bike. Photo a bit crap due to glare, the paint actually has a faint metallic sheen.
