[Closed] Ooh, I do love a black bike.......(new bike content)

It's very nice, 😀 but its not very black is it?...

Not "quite" as black as I had hoped for... 😯

The chain looks like it's been left on during a rattle can respray. Other than that nice.

I'm sure some black forks will be more' erm.. Black...

Aesthetically great frame balanced out by crude black frame protection (at least that's what I assume it is) 😕

Black fork will look great 😀

Oooooh thats nice, it matches your Black Chain 😀

Mines black too, It certainly attracts the Insects whilst out on the trail !

DanW, how very dare you!! The black bit on the downtube is how they come. Crude frame protector, pah!

"Aesthetically great frame balanced out by crude black frame protection"
I thought it was a crud guard on inside out 😀

No, in all fairness thats nice.

Thanks, no comments about the boring garden are much appreciated. Riding tonight, bet it will look a bit different then.... 🙁

What's the(real) black bit for then? Spoils it for me

DanW, how very dare you!! The black bit on the downtube is how they come. Crude frame protector, pah!

I also was thinking of the bit where the seat tube and top tube meet by the dropper post cable too. The black on the downtube ironically looks like the worst bit of this "black bike" 😀 Was a bit more yellow on the down tube too much to ask from On-One? 😀

Really fun looking bike that should be a blast!

The black bit for the dropper cable is just there until some protection tape comes.

Not sure of the purpose of the black bit, maybe to look like it's stronger?

I like it though...looks fast...

Oh yeah, along wit some new black forks, got some mahoosive white bars and white grips coming...

A C456 and nothing but positive comments...
This cant be STW!

Black forks would look ace, but i reckon the chain needs to match the pedals

Purple chain eh? Mmmmmm

Like that well known directory The Black Pages

Or the black jersey as worn by the Tour De France leader

Needs some green anodized parts, maybe some orange too, then I think you have pretty much every "black" covered 😀

Probably because we'd assumed you'd left your bike outside your local public convenience.

😀

It looks like the colour of the bruising you get a week after a big crash, love it!

Just in case anyone cared, I have now put the new forks, bars and grips on. Much more subtle.

Bars are 810, they are a BIT wide TBH....left them uncut for now, but experimenting with the width...

Nice. I have an SS C456. It's black. No, really.

That aint no SS!

Bars grips saddle pedals need to be Black. Chain needs to be silver. Bars need shortened about 100mm.

Or grips need to be blue, saddle needs to be red, for rainbow effect.

White box on wall needs cleaned of grime. Hose needs leek fixed and small drain put in underneath it.

Yeah, white bars are out of place, but 100mm!!! Chain is horrible, I admit.

Hose is not leaking as such, I had just used in and it is dribble. Drain? Nice...

Is that the new colour for the C456?

I do like it. But then, there's no accounting for my taste!

Nope, old colour I think, was at the reduced price!
