I may be wrong here, but i’m guessing you’re not the target market! 😀 neither am i mind.

On another note, what an ugly bike!

I quite like On One, I own a 456, but there is no way I would pay 5k for one, no matter what spec it was.

Is it the bastard child from Corratec and a cruiser?

Forks OK IMHO but the frame, gawd that is ugly. Different shaped for the sake of “style”. No ta.

Am i the only one that thinks that’s a misstype on the website?

Perhaps £1999, given the full SRAM XX build.

I assumed it was a typo and it’s £499.99 frame only

Even myself (who hasnt spent >£1000 on a complete bike) can say that looks like a pile of crap (for £5000 at least). I have one of the forks, branded by a different OEM company, people are exporting the forks for £60/piece, and if thats anything to go by the frame’s probably only worth £300.

Or you could have one of these…

In fairness, a full XX groupset is about £1,500. And this isn’t even full XX – they’ve fitted some stupidly expensive FRM cranks. That’ll be €500 for those, with the chainrings. And another €400 for the forks, €145 for the bars, €100 for the post and €114 for the stem.

It also has On-One’s carbon wheelset, which is £799, so it probably isn’t that much more overpriced than most bikes.

That said, it’s still a £5,000 On-One, which is just wronnnng.

Except ashfanman they’re selling the excess cranks for £200, and probably the other bits, the brakes are going for £100 an end. The only expensive part of the group they’re using is the cassette.

£5000 for that seems way overpriced, I assume typo!

The ugliest bike and one of the prettiest bikes ever have both been posted in this thread. You can work out which is which.

Where’s the pretty bike?

It’s definately a typo. No way would anyone pay nearly a fiver for that.

As somebody who’s spent getting on for that much on a bike (more than once 😳 ), doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with spending serious amounts of money on an On-One, and doesn’t think there’s that much wrong with that bike…

it still seems incredibly overpriced.

Gotcha talkin though, job done!

‘Weighing in at a mere 1315 grams’

that is not light

To MUNROBIKER! – that specialised race bike for £12 grand is what you would pay for a full blooded motorbike, utter nonsense. Saw a £10 grand Stork a couple of years back and it weighed so little you couldn’t race it under UCI rules – totally pointless. Give you/me half the cash and we can spend it on something “proper” – or as Mr B Sheene once said, “I spent it all on girls, booze and having a good time, the rest I wasted!”

I thought it was George Best?

re: UCI rules – how many people who aren’t sponsored to ride a specific bike anyway need to worry about this? Some people just like having the best/lightest/etc it’s not always an entirely rational decision, is it, but it doesn’t make them wrong.
