Thanks Nick ๐Ÿ˜‰

Dickie - it's a large. 19inch frame. I'm bob-on 6ft, and it fits nicely with a shortish stem on.

Haven't had a huge amount of time on it yet. Saturday was a bit of a write off thanks to sheet ice everywhere, but loving it so far. Light, comfortable, and holds speed nicely. It's my first 29er and first carbon hardtail, so don't have a huge amount to compare it to, but I'm happy so far. Will be doing a lot of miles on it this year. 24 hours of exposure, Cairngorms Loop, Glentress Seven, another 24hr solo and some bivvy adventures.

Thanks for that, interested, & I'm 5'11" so thought 19" might be my size too as I'd have 350mm of post out on a 16.5".

Based on that, I'd go 19" Dickie.

Nick, it goes without saying that they'll be involving you!

Unfinished yet, just started it tonight. Never had anything other than regular old MTB's so this is a bit weirdy-beardy for me - intended as a commuter/winter bike (bit late for that). Looking forward to trying it.

Absolutely no idea whether I've got my Midge bars all setup correctly, I suspect they really need to be in a short stem. The hoods seem a very long way from the steerer!

Unfortunately due to slipping on the ice Friday and banging my hip and head I didn't get chance to ride the "new" On One but I will this weekend I hope

Not strictly new but has just had a rebuild going from drops to H bars and some fresh rubber, so feels like new

That looks fun Ringo. What kind of speeds can you get on road sections? Seen too many CX bikes recently, really making me want one.
