Lets see some pics of builds!! My frsme is with yodel somewhere
Bentigger, it just came with the 1.5 crown race which isn't what the web site says but is what I needed. They need to update or clarify that link.
Away at the moment so unable to see if the headset cup will actually fit after all that, fingers crossed again. Frame is really nice though, well worth the 300 I paid, glad I took the punt now.
Hope everyone enjoys building theirs up.
My mate has just ordered for his straight steerer so he will be disapointed
If he phones planet x I imagine they will give him the reducer crown race free of charge as the description specifically says 1.5 - 1 1/8 reducer included. They were really helpful when I called them anyway.
Looks like it will fit as well just from pushing the cups against the frame, will have to get it pressed in at some point.
Excellent i will order one as i have tapered forks thanks

Frame turned up looks good for the money apart from missing the 2 plugs from the pivot of frame,
I ordered 2 a large and medium this is the large for my mate that we built up after stripping his trek xcalibre 9.

Here it is all together just need a 1 1/8 crown race that onone are supplying as headset didnt come with one
Still got my medium to build but waiting for funds!
Is there a reason the shock is mounted that way round?
Is it not going to be tricky to flick the lever when riding along?
Looks good though, what range of cassette did you go for?
Shock came mounted that way from onone im changing it on both bikes asap
Ben, mine is missing those plugs at the pivot points as well, need to try and find something that'll do the job.
Just ring onone my medium came with but the large didnt, they sell them for £5 at onone just search rockstar and they come up, they should send some free though
Had a quick spin on the small that I built for my wife - seems terrific
Having the shock that way will cause the lockout lever to contact the top tube, don't ride it like that! :O
I have span both round I realised that lockout switch was moving closer to frame when setting sag.
Good bit of advice though Ben thanks for that
Well the shock is back, now attached to a Large frame 🙂
So On-One kept their promise, which is good given the obscene amounts of money I have spent with them over the years 😳

Mine is all done now happy with how it turned out.
Feels stiff at the rear at the moment but overall very pleased

Complete with homer simpson fork stickers!
just looking at a groupset for this bike at the moment. Was going to go 1x11 xt but there dont seem to be many deals around at the moment. Have seen 2x11 xt with brakes for 400 quid so am thinking of going down that route.
Has anyone tried to fit a bottom swing front mech (clamp on, band at the top - normal looking mech) onto this? does it fit ok or does the suspension pivots on the seat tube get in the way of the clamp. I prefer the look of the bottom swing mech but would change to a top swing one if i have to!! It'd be a medium frame i'd be fitting it to.
cheers
sorry to drag this up folks,
bentiggerwyles, did they send you the seatstay plugs in the end.
I emailed them and was sent a (1, not a pair) bar end plug!
I'm waiting for some seatstay plugs too. I emailed them a photo showing where the plugs were missing to ensure they got the right things. Last reply from them was:
"I have passed all the details onto a colleague and I'll get back to you with a solution as soon as possible"
😕 😕
yeah, i sent a photo aswell, didnt work!!
this time i have given them a link to what i need (stating 2!!) and a link to what they have sent me by accident.
Roll on another 3 weeks.
Planet X just emailed with an order number, saying the seatstay plugs should be with me in a couple of working days - fingers crossed...
My seat stay plugs just turned up
Sorry missed all these posts yeah there where none in the large frame they sent a pair out though very quickley
