According to the website, this is how the first batch will look.

I assume this is seat tube.

Oh and was the top pic a spoof? If so, I applaud the effort and it made me laugh to think that it might be anyway.

🙂

blimey, it's not a spoof... slightly surprising pic to put on the main page for the product being as it looks a bit... shit.

Brant is no longer there, but the anti-marketing goes on apace.

Are the frames shipping with multiple decal options?

Dear god that's a terrible picture - makes the frame look sort of broken in some way too. 😕

Sounds like they're all shipping with the same scheme. No options.
Reserving judgement on the poor qualiy sneek photo until mine arrives.

Looks a bit better in these pics but not sure if that is the pre-production colour or what the public will get: http://www.on-one.co.uk/news/products/q/date/2010/05/16/carbon-456-meets-the-7-stanes

Further news on the On-One website shows that the final painting etc, will be done in the UK with the following added bonus.

[i]We're having a meeting on Friday to see what's going to be possible, but we reckon it's a goer. If it works, there's no need for customers to be constrained by our terrible graphics and inability to hire a decent graphic designer, everything will become possible including intricate airbrushing. [/i]

So who knows what the final design will be?

how many folk will use the jumpy pic as a 'but you did it!' warranty claim when theirs burst?

looks not bad but not great either, intrigued by the potential project one paint scheme option...

Nothing like the hollow vibratory sound of carbon on the trail.

Decided I don't really care how it looks.

Any headset news from you On-one chaps?

18 bikes have offered the Hope headset as a mix and match.

There are FSA Headsets on order... both for 11/8 & Mixed 11/8"-1.5"... The picture that Ginsters posted was ripped off our site is actually WRONG...and should not have gone on to OO site 🙁
but the intention was there... It is going to be BLACK logo with 50% Matt lacquer top coat. Graphics are going to look like a combination of Optn 1 & 2 off our website... The picture Ginster listed was taken in a toilet/show cubical... more of those to come as I am going next week

The text at the top is done in the same way as the print on the old black Carbon Zaskar Team, to be honest mine looked a bit toss from close up, fantastic from a distance though. Similar lack of cheesy cosmetic layer as well.
