This frame looks so ****ing ugly!
ugly as sin
Guys I think the whole point of larger head tubes is not out and out stiffness but stiffness to weight hence hollow tech cranks etc.
Nope, don't like it. Plus it's a 29er and don't ask why as I can't say why, but I just don't like any Gary Fisher.
🙁
rockcliffe the site your name links to is pretty beautiful
i think the main advantage of an oversized head tube is greater surface area onto which the other tubes connect.
that on-one doesn't look great.... IMO.
Headsets now available...
I am told that this one is for 1 1/8" steerers in a tapered headtube and can run a tapered steerer with a different crown race (available separately). I've ordered one but check for yourself before you order as I do find the whole thing strangely bewildering for something that should be so simple!

Hope ones along soon.
What were on-one thinking by going with that colour logo on a black frame ??? ... cheapest option = biggest mark up ?
It looks F*****G crap .....
I wont be buying one now ive seen the final product !
On One seem to of lost there way lately ... need to go back a bit and start again ..

Have you seen it though?
You've seen one (or two) pics of a frame only lying on its side.
I've got one on pre-order and I've got to say I preferred some of the other proposed graphics but I'm going to see what it looks like in the flesh and built up. IF I really don't like it I'll either:
~ flog it
~ paint it
~ leave it covered in mud
~ learn to live with it.
I can't see it being too bad in real life though - black on black's pretty neutral - it's not going to be at either end of the hideous/wonderful spectrum.
Besides, I'm much more interested in how it rides.
Yep the new graphics put me right off
Shame £ 450 for a long forked carbon hard tail is a steal really
Classic case of nearly but not quite
That is an aesthetic disaster 😯 . Hope it rides better than it looks!
Carbon can look as sexy as ****, that looks like it was just pulled out the mould. Figuratively speaking.
I would worry about the dropouts, are they bolted directly into carbon as a bit of cackhandedness could destroy the threads?
Good to see they went with the ugly graphics option to match the frame!
pmsl @ billybob 🙂
