What colour is that, luncheon meat?
Forget the stickers pal, what's your first impression of the frames?
That welding looks well shoddy.
looks a bit porky to me
IGMC
wipe the vaseline off the lens before you take any more photos....
heh aye the blackberry is a crap camera
spam colour?
Goping colour.
Ready for the SPAM XX chainset
+1 for the welding comment. Looks like an early 00s Saracen.
What frame size is that?
18"
And the frame colour is lovely in the flesh

Most of the weld looks 'ok'(not good) but did they get the tea boy to weld in the top gusset afterwards?
My garden gate's got cleaner looking welds
especially on that nasty looking lump welded inbetweens tubes A, B and C
Oh no - where's the Seat stay - I can't find the sticker for it. Does that mean there is none
My camera phone is poor to say the least.
The colour is lovely - like the man from Del Monte painted it!
Overall very impressed - seems to be awesome value.
That's gotta be a second... The weld on the top/down tube gusset looks well gash...
I believe 'pigeon shit' is the correct terminology... 😀
Whatever happened to quality control?
So, lets see.
Ragleys have bad welding, crap bolt on cable guides, stickers you put on yourself which won't last 5 minutes and some say they look like gates?
God, that's a close shave for On One.
God, that's a close shave for On One
LOL
Sweet - the news is we are getting a replacement frame sent out. The welding is not up to standard.
Very attentive service from Hotlines and Shedfire! Thanks.
There's a difference between bad welding and ugly welding, although I am able to do both at once.
Look at the strain in the shop assistants arm. That frame is heavy or the shop assistant needs to strengthen up 😉
I hope that frame rides well because its never gonna win any beauty contests.
Shedfire haven't tweeted this thread yet 😉
So, is the sub-standard frame going cheap?
Things I liked: externally butted seattube (thicker at top weld area). Avoids waggly seatpost & snapped frame caused by internal butting.
Eh. Hmm. It's shaped quite a lot like an Inbred. Um.... Oh, the cable guides are OK. Eh.... well, that's it.
Didn't like: "paint" (dried yoghurt), "welds", gussets, strange 3-finger RH chainstay-BB plate, not replaceable dropout, DIY stickers with no covering lacquer, price.
Speaking as a man with 5 On-One/P-X bikes I love: "Nah".
Controversi-Al.
al.
Assistant? Strain? whyioughta!!!
That is 1 ticket to the gun show right there my man.
These look better built up and bashed up. I'm happy to believe it works, but pictures of them new really, really don't make me want one. 🙂
That photo makes the 456 look like even more of a bargain
I bet Hotlines and Shedfire! are chuffed these pics of a shoddy frame have been posted here 😉
thebikechain - I guessed it was you. No offence meant 😉
tbc's marketing dept got up late today then?
oh and as an ex welder, i can confirm that the correct phrase is pigeon shit.
cant wait to get home so i can see the pics.
Tweeted now, keep up Brant! 🙂
Was the shoddy welding on the second pic, the one that's not available to view now?
Nice marketing mark and loving my pannier.
I can't believe folk go on about aesthetics of welds. Idiots. Your bike is NOT A VANITY PROJECT YOU DULLARDS. These are welds:

> Your bike is NOT A VANITY PROJECT YOU DULLARDS.
Really? Mine is. Well, mine are. Mostly though, mine were.
😉
Superfici-Al.
Your bike is NOT A VANITY PROJECT YOU DULLARDS.
He walks the talk, Al owns a Nomad.
😉
On-one's? Each to their own. Have to say I wonder how you can have 5 of them that are significantly different (the only point in owning different bikes to me)
I can't believe folk go on about aesthetics of welds.
it's not so much the quality as the fact that there seem to be some missing from the gusset!
"what colour would sir like his new bike in?"
"sick, please"
There is no weld material missing. Its all there.
finbar - MemberWhat colour is that, luncheon meat?
I lol'ed
😀
Whoops
in that case to clarify, pigeon shit most usually refers to welds that are porous (for a variety of reasons)
gutted if the pics are gone.
im guessing this is the steel one that everyone is wetting themselves over - much more interested in the ally one personally
snottery is the scottish term for a pigeon shit weld .
What's this bike meant for? Why does it have a big gusset anyway?
Anyway, to answer the "how can you have 5 On-Ones (and P-X) that are sufficiently different to be worth owning?":
853 sliding dropout SS
DN6 sliding dropout geared (wifie's)
Pompino fixed/SS commuter/C-X
Kaffenback geared commuter
456 : [url= http://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/?p=2590 ]Bike of the Week - Allan’s Monstercross[/url]
OK?
al.
Ah...4 bikes! And not that different... 😉
We’ve recalled the frame from The Bike Chain, replaced it with a new one, and now have our first “slight second”
Wow that's quick. Mark can you show us pics of the replacement?
Give them a chance guys!
buzz you know some people are on here just to take the piss,,, we know what they should be doing with their time,,
It's sold now. Bummer. I'd liked to have tested that for them. 17st round Golspie/Laggan's trails for a few days would give it a decent work out I reckon.
New toy, finished yesterday although waiting for the new wheels to arrive.

First impressions very favourable indeed. Climbs well and is awesome pointing downhill, need time to get used to the slacker head angle on the flat as it's different to my race bike, but really pleased so far.
