Hi peeps. New to this forum so need a bit of help. Am considering an On One inbred frame to start my build. I know there is some debate bout said bike frame, so which frame should i get? Second generation,853,new etc. Are there any allternatives at the same price? And has anyone got one for sale? Frame only. Oh is the new inbred a decent frame or no? Opinions please. Go easy as im new here. I think at that price(£139) i cant go wrong right? May be a little heavy at 5lb but i carry that in sarnies.
I personally like the Inbred frames. Like you said not particularly light but for the money they ride really well. Are you thinking of 26 or 29er frame?
Hey...Im thinking 26 as not to sure about 29er. Should i have a preference? Im a newbie to mountain biking so forgive my ignorance. Should i consider the 29er. I have to buy all parts for my build so nothing set in stone yet
If you have never ridden a mountain bike before the 29ers are supposed to give you a bit of an advantage over rough stuff if you are a novice at technical riding.
Does a 29er mean more weight? Wheel size,frame size? I suppose it does. Prob a stupid question. Im a novice at technical riding so should i go for a 29er. Seems that a lot of people are opting for a 29er but maybe they are for people who would know the difference in riding situations, where as i would probably not.
Whats the difference between vertical and slot drop out? I am gonna run gears and rear derailer.
Slot drop out is for singlespeeding. You'll want vertical drop outs if you want to run gears.
Thanks Roter.If you know anyone point them this way. Im looking for a frame(inbred 18inch)so if anyone close to Bristol has one i can collect and have cash. Or if anyone has one and can sort it via post that would be cool to. Gotta a few days before im gonna bite the bullet and buy a new frame. Cheers
29" wheeled Inbred is a good bike. Never really gelled with the 26" Inbreds I had. 29" was just better. Only marginally heavier.
A 2nd hand inbred frame off these here classifieds was my first bike.
I didn't realise how 'dead' the ride was until I swapped the frame for a Scandal (also from this forum and also cheap).
Both were 26 flavour.
I really advise you to go Scandal instead of Inbred, it is just so much more enjoyable a ride.
I can't really explain why.
Arghhhhh. Ive had a look at that also. And same geometery as the Inbred. Do you prefer it because its a lighter frame?
If you have to buy all the parts it may cost you way more than you anticipate
Have a look at the full bike for 799

Or the 26

The Scandal 'should' feel more 'dead' than an Inbred and there are sliding dropouts available with derailleur hangers. As in you can run singlespeed or geared, I have one 🙂
Thanx............... Anyone got a frame they want rid of?
Slot drop out is for singlespeeding. You'll want vertical drop outs if you want to run gears.
I have the slot drop out and run gears and its fine. Its best to add chain tugs however.

To me that is like driving a left hand drive car in the UK. Works OK but a bit of a PITA.
Not really as there is no downside, it works equally well and gives you the option to go singlespeed later.
Having the wheel on the wrong side is a PITA all the time, my slot dropout never occurs to me and it was the colour I wanted.
When I ordered the frame On One told me it was suitable for either and they were right. Its your choice but you did infer that it wasnt suitable which isnt correct.
Hey thanks. Got my eye on an apple green,just exchanging emails at present. Might go for it as one of my favourite colours, and it has slot drop outs. So wanted to be sure. Faffing bout not my strong points but if it doesnt really make a difference then i might take the plunge.
I have rear facing slots on a road rat - and run gears ...
No real issues TBH
Would chain tugs be advised?
Yes, when I built mine the first time out (given I have the power output of Cancellara! 😀 ) when accelerating I pulled the wheel out of alignment. Fitted the tugs and never happened since (about 18 months riding)
I'm not saying the sliding dropout is the way to go I just dont see it as a disadvantage.
Speak to On One, I did and I told them I wanted to run it geared, he said no issue.
What size frame are you after? 20" Scandal 26er in black with vertical dropouts any good? I have a nice set of fox f100 to suit it as well. Email me if you're interested.
Anyone got an 18 inch inbred for sale 26er? Anyone at all???????
Thought On One Inbreds were gas pipes?> Well no one seems to be getting rid. Anyone got an 18 inch frame for sale? Last chance before a new one is purchased. I was gonna hold out for an apple green, but think a new matte black will do. But they seem to be out of stock. Anyways cheers.
I'm building an Inbred up as a commuter to spare my old Clockwork.
Chain tugs: not relevant unless you are single speeding.
Depends what you're after really. I almost pulled the trigger on 456 before deciding it was too much like my Chameleon. 456 probably had more fun potential if you plan suspension forks and off roading...
My 853 inbred is a nice ride .I run it rigid and singlespeed with a carbon fork
^^ chain tugs basically stop a wheel in a horizontal dropout sliding about. There's more to it but that's close enough.
If you plan regular gears you want vertical drops.
There are frames where you can bolt either type of drop in to suit build but we'll leave them for now...
I ran the slidey one I had geared & SS. Worked fine. The nutted axle meant I didnt need to run chain tugs for SS.
Ropey picture, but running geared...

Hi fella, I have an 18" inbred I can shift, its black with gold fleck and gold decals, has a aerozine headset fit (gold) I can also include a Ritchey pro seat post, salsa QR clamp (gold) and LX front mech if you want, also have some light Ritchey WRC wheels with 9spd cassett included that could get your build off to a flying start? I'm after £170 for the lot, I'm in Manchester but I'm riding with mate from Bristol this weekend so if I ask nicely he could bring it down? Can ping you sone picks if interested?
Yeah. Chameleon loads slot style too. Does make wheel change a bit of a pain at times compared to vertical.
I guess it's more that you need horizontal drop for ss but vert is more convenient for anything else... 😀
Thanks for offer SIM270 but am gonna buy a new vert drop 18 inch matt black inbred. Too much let downs and too much rigmoral to be able to buy stuff here. For what im saving i might aswell just pay 139 and be done. Matt black is out of stock at the mo, ha go figure. Anyways i thought i would re bike cycle on here but it seems not too many for sale,frames anyway. No offence to yours but i couldnt stand the gold.
No worries, just sent a pic anyway, gold was good 🙂
So anyone with a decent On-One inbred for sale? 18inch? Ive been in contact with a couple of people on here but the frame wasnt right! One was lime green and battered and one was gold which i couldnt stand. And one fell through as i think he wants to sale whole bike instead of the frame. Please email me pics if you have one for sale . Cheers ............................................. mrkstvnz@gmail.com
