good vid! Needs to be an stw version with wobbly mincing on a smooth trail centre red, then complaining about the tyres not being up to the job on here.

Fair enough that. SO I take it you can extend that to "don't drill a hole in it"!

If you read my comments over the last few months, you will have noticed this theme.

Any opportunities coming up to check this bike out Brant?

Met a chap riding one across houndkirk a couple of weeks ago. On one staffer. Bike looked very nice.
Unbelievable spec for the £

As if the barman is wearing an Iron Monkey teeshirt! That stoked me out as much as the riding. Good shit.

That videos is ace, riding looks really good.. I'm off to check out the geometry and justify a new bike.

This is ticking many boxes for my next bike.. If I can just save up another £700 between now and May, I'll have a small blue one with white forks.

On One branding is shockingly bad. Just because they represent value for money is no excuse to have branding on a par with Tescos Value.

The name "on one" conjures up images of 1990s pilled up ravers.

sure I read in mbuk once that was why? funny how brand is more important than the actual bike these days.

I'm not necessarily a fan of big wheels but I wouldn't say no to a test ride. This is an absolute bargain for the kit you're getting and deserves to do well.

26er +1

If the 29er is fun a 26er will be funner.

Boughted one (blue lg) and a reverb stealth (and drill bit).What's the worst that could happen?

If all the staff are off their tits on MDMA, that may explain the alleged customer service woes.

Those brakes are amazing. They piss on XT's.

Bike looks pretty good too.

First minute was embarrassing.

Doesn't look like a big wheeler in that vid and that's a good thing. Great riding too.

Funny what happens when you put someone who can ride on a 29" eh?

My wife thinks she was at this party. Or possibly it was a nemba race around the same time. Campsite off lodge lane? She was seeing a bloke called Darren who worked at freewheel on west st at the time.
Allegedly

Really? My body language skills saw a guy getting tired of hefting all that weight around yet knowing he has to flick the back wheel for the promo. Didn't "flow" as nicely as some vids I've seen.

Which is no comment on the bike, just my observation of the vid.

Thanking you!

That has just increased the chances of me becoming £800 poorer somewhat. Much nicer than the white.

Sorry if this has been answered before - is the Codiene the eventual replacement for the El Guapo 26er, or is it instead of the El Guapo 29er?

Or is this a pure addition to the line up?

The El Guapo is a Titus model - Titus is being redeveloped for us by former Marin Mountainbikes designer Jason Faircloth. He's working on some new models for us for launch late this year/early next. El Guapo 29 is landing shortly.

Codeine is an On-One bike, designed as such.

There are no plans for a Planet X, Viner or Holdsworth full suspension bike.

Colours are blue or white. Both with Orange decals.

Are the decals underneath lacquer/clearcoat ?

I was getting really depressed at reading about nice frames then finding out they were almost £3k for the frame alone - thinking I would perhaps never be able to afford anythign decent again.

Then I saw this on the STW page yesterday, £800 frame only.

Cheers Brant 🙂

Very nice looking bike and I do fancy one. However, given the economy and my public sector job I cannot see me ever buying a new bike again.

Triggers broom and predominantly second hand for me.

*Sits waiting for the influx of second hand Codeines in 12 months time*

I still don't get how the frames are so cheap when the shock is nearly £500 on its own.....

Have to say, fair play. I'm guessing margins are less than some other companies to bring this to market at this price. I'm not looking for a new bike at the mo', but would definitely be very interested in the future. I hope it sells well.

doesn't the 'frame only' option comes with a RS Monarch?

Are there likely to be demo bikes (or demo days) available of these, ideally from the new Edinburgh store? It's bargaintastic for sure but still a lot of money to spend without riding it first.

We don't pay £500 for the shock.

No. A CCDB Air.

We have plans for this.

OEM components aren't the same price as the retail ones, and sometimes (often?) they are actually different and lack features.

CCDB Air shocks don't have a different OE spec like this, though I can nod, and say that no, it's not the climb switch version, BECAUSE I don't think this bike needs it.

It climbs great.

Cool. I was thinking of the Fox DHX, where there were (are?) three versions, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 - but the 3.0 was the OE only version and lacked compression damping, presumably because it could be specced for the bike it came on.

I only know this because I had a bike that the bike shop had put one on, and it had far too much compression damping for the frame.

Ok, so given this bike is likely to be super popular, what are the chances of actually getting one in May via a pre-order? given that you'll be holding £2,500 or my hard earned? Is there a initial run volume guaranteed?? And will we know when that has been spoken for?

A valid question! Preorders are stock controlled. Orders are in for frame production. If we sell out, preorders will stop.
