I've been um-ing and ah-ing over getting a c456 for ages ... the black frames are currently down to £299.99 ... that's my Christmas present sorted, just need to tell HRH what she's bought me 😀

I saw them last night linked from an email but I want a yellow one but doubt it's worth another £100 ontop!
I wanted Orange, but ditto: another £100? Nah ...
c456 have been £300 for, basically, ever.
Saying that they are 'reduced' to £300 is a little shall we say 'disingenous' of the good folks at On-One.
Damn them!!!! ... they've been £399 ever since I've been looking, so in my world I've saved 25% 🙂
Either way, they're flipping good value.
They started at £500, then dropped to £400 with headset and a few worthless bits.
They have repeatedly dropped the price to £300 (and the odd £250 seconds job), but I don't think they've constantly been £300.
Enjoy your bargain, they're great frames.
£400 or £300 is still a good price. I'd have said the yellow's worth the extra £100 but the new ones have that ugly black panel on the downtube, not as nice.

I'm pretty sure that, in some form or another, there's been a c456 frame available for £300 for at least a year.

I'm not disagreeing with that, I've been tempted with one for ages (which is why I've had such a keen eye on the price)
I got a red one earlier in the year when they'd dropped the price to £250, not a second either. I couldn't resist it at that price. But as others have said on other posts about carbon fibre frames - why shouldn't they be as cheap if not cheaper than frames made from any other material. Because it's light and strong we all seem to accept that it must be expensive when there's no good reason for it.
But aren't the ones that normally cost £299 without decals, and only available in limited colorways?
Do it,i do like the black/green,my bank balance doesn't 😥

Yeah, true. I suppose it depends on whether you think the stickers are worth a hundred quid 🙂
I'd pay not to have the stickers. They look cack.
