My fave is either "made by a taiwanease chicken farmer with a sparkler" or "melt it down and turn it into a skip".
wuajaja el weon ridiculo aklakjskl
After reading all this I just hope that 'Viral marketing genius' isn't the most accurate .
Cpt Flash so its you that blames gordon brown?
Is it the new unicycle called the one-one?
(lifted from CFH's post up thar^^. )I blame Gordon Brown [×]
yes of course he does. 🙄
Edit: (though oddly you had to be logged out to spot it.)
[i]For posterity, the tags as they stand at the moment....[/i]
Mmmm and edited the list to remove the X next to your own tag but I think we could have guessed 😉
edit....beaten to it by Julian
Well, I had to, Julian!
😀
At this rate Brant won't remember what it was he was supposed to be announcing on Monday 😯
I'm off for a beer and there had better be some news by the time i get back or the southern softy is gona cry 🙄
Can I blame Michael Portillo then?
Yes I didnt want to be to obvious by saying arrr Flash why is it you blame Brown? Because thats what you said in your tag.
Julian, I believe that the standard response is to blame Mrs Thatcher, but Portillo is such an oleagenous, spineless oik that I'd be more than happy for you to blame him!
Now, who's for a pint while we wait for Brant?
Blaming Thatcher is soooooo 90's. I'm glad I have chanced upon a politician of er... 'mutual dislike', Cap'n.
I'll have a Doom Bar then please.
And some roysters.
Doom Bar? A fine choice, coming right up....!
If something doesn't happen to make my ScandAL a collector's item soon, I'll send the boys round to torch the place! Bike people taking advantage of us forum-dwelling idiots! GRRRR
JOKE for the numpties around here.
I've found what this is all about 😉
There won't be an announcement at all. There never was going to be an announcement. It's all a Mandelsonesque PR exercise. The idea is to get all t'interweb talking about On-one bikes so that there will be more product awareness leading to increased sales volumes.(sorry for the management speak).
Gordon wants us to spend our way out of the recession and Brant is starting the green shoots of a recovery, by helping us to spend our money - with him ❗
Machiavelli, eat your heart out.
frank, wrong 😆

Brant, can you hold the press release back until Wednesday, just to wind burt up further?
200!
201!! Do I win?
I heard they'd been bought by superstarcomponents!
I was gonna buy one once, but realised it was cheaper to rebuild my old raleigh lizard
Right what did i miss ?
Nothing, great 🙄
Brant - Can i please ask that you get the announcement out of the way early in the morning so i can at least get on with some work tomorrow and hopefully earn enough to buy this new 29er frame which until 24 hours was something that i wanted but has now become something that i need 😕
si, do not jump in.
wait a while...
si, do not jump in.
wait a while...
which means...?
move along sir, nothing for little blokes here....
move along sir, nothing for little blokes here....
There never is - 14"ers seem to be permanently out of stock (at least around the 27th of the month anyway - my visa cut off point 😉 ). Probably just as well, eh.
Cheers Ton 😉

"on-one has been bought out by suspension giant Marzocchi"
"This press release brings to an end one of the longest running viral markting campaings ever run by the small northern company. The campaign began over a year ago with a story about a break in, in which the house oner aprehended the thief with a pair of the italian brands retro finest, some orange Z1's"
"So there you have it, on-one, owned with bombers sice January 2009"
Oh you big fibber!
The suspension is killing me.
The suspension is killing me.

British bicycle company Planet X has announced today that the search is on for a bike designer for its On-One brand, a company affectionately known as Europe's original singlespeed anti-brand. Former journalist Brant Richards, On-One's designer and mouthpiece, has been plucked away by mail order company Chain Reaction.Part of the Planet X stable, On-One was created over nine years ago by Dave Loughran and Richards and has seen significant growth during their time working together, according to Loughran. On-One's iconic bikes include the Inbred, Scandal, and 456.
"This is an exciting time for On-One," he added. "We are looking for a new designer and the opportunities are out there to continue to fill a niche that big manufactures can't see. We always said that our most successful projects were finding the "niche of a niche" and that’s a tradition were going to continue.
"I believe a new designer, with different ideas and a fresh look will help take On-One further along its unusual path," Loughran added. "I am sorry that Brant is leaving and wish him every success. He has been an influential part of the team that has built a brand with strong foundations and a cult following."

To do what, I wonder. Design stuff, I hope, rather than sort out stock control and delivery...
Customer Service Manager?
Can't decide whether an email from Brant would be a step up or down form crc's usual policy of not replying.
at last....
so chainreaction will get some attitude and balls. And on-one will be on-one and brantless.
You've messed with that druidh! This is the real version.

wonder how many on-one geeks went to bed early and struggled getting to sleep thinking what might become of brant the messiah.
What will be first then, a chain reaction steel hardtail for 50p.
