[Closed] Thanks! For helping me build up my new On One

Looks great that, nice one! Bet it's good on the 4x track.
Incidentally, your trees want pollarding...

.

Was there no black wheels available in your budget?

What happened with the cabling??

No bar end plugs? Are you sure?

I'm sure you like it a lot.

That's errr, very special.

Speaking as someone who's found himself with my handlebars jammed vertically between the ground and my gut after one messy crash, I can't recommend bar end plugs enough. Think apple corers...

Colours are pretty in your face...

Good to see a 'different' bike from corporate black or MoreEduroThanYou flouro.
Not my taste, but great.

get plugs, almost cored my inner thigh a couple of years ago

Another 'get some bar end plugs in there asap'

Not having them upscales a painful crash into a major injury crash.

As for the colours and cabling... if it makes you happy then enjoy.

That's errr, very special.

Here's the build. It's a little marmite:

Marmite is only the one colour, jus sayin... 😉

seriously, what is going on with the cables, could you just not be bothered to cut them? and why have you got some tissue wrapped round 2 spokes on the back wheel?
🙂

I quite like the colours 😕 I do also like marmite though.

Get some bar end plugs though, just do it. They cost pence and weigh almost nothing.

And remove the playing card from the rear spokes, unless you're try hard fixie w****** in which case crack on.

the tissue is to plug the hole in his guts when he gets cored by the bars.....get some plugs in/on the ends!!!

I like the bold colours. So wrong its right (not taking the piss)

Makes a change from a sea of black with black bits on.

Edit- in true STW style- Yellow valve caps is too much!

I didn't say I didn't like the colour scheme, just that it was pretty in your face - which isn't necessarily a bad thing. After all, I have another Sheffield bike in a very similar shade of orange and one in a very bright green... 😉 I actually quite like the colour clashes although I'm not sure I could live with those rims.

Cable/Hose critics are probably right in that overlong hoses are just begging to snag something in passing, but that ups the job from bolt on to needing good cutters and a bleed kit you know how to use which isn't a minor consideration for everyone.

I've currently not got two matching hoses or gear outers on my Zesty and it hasn't killed me.

The bar end plugs though...yep, it was lockons I almost gored myself with. I don't say that i wouldn't have needed to be going quite a bit quicker to have properly gored myself, but for the pennies I don't want to find out.

Good job, OP! 🙂 Enjoy!

What rims are those?

Cheers Guys!

I'll get some bar plugs ASAP.

I live in London, and finished fitting the tires about an hour before I had to get on the train to get to Sheffield to ride. Didn't have time to sort the cabling... and actually didn't notice my bikes train-reservation-ticket was still in the rear spokes! oops...

The Rims are Mavic 319's custom painted by Orange (think it probably matches their team pink), not my choice...but CHEAP on ebay. also, they're mounted to Hope pro2's so can't really go wrong!

😀

I love the Fox's Party Rings colour scheme.

I like it.

For what it's worth, leave your cables and stick some more playing cards in both wheels, seems to annoy people which is good.

@phunkmaster I might actually lengthen the cables and sharpen the bar ends too ;-D

I really like it. Honestly, the pink and orange look great together.

Enjoy!

On a serious note, I have been on the receiving end of some 'aaaaargh pass the eye bleach' tosserdom on here, but I honestly couldn't care less. If it rides nice, who cares? Mountain bike riding is a hobby for nearly all of us, I cram it into my limited free time. I don't have any more time to worry about how my bike looks! If I order a component, and it is only available in the 'wrong' colour, then the 'wrong' colour it is. Because I don't want downtime, I just want to ride.

Please get some bar end plugs, though!

Needs a Pink saddle and Grips to tie those rims in.
