    Green one is looking nice, not too sure about the blue and brown, think either one on its own would look cool but not sure about both. imho 😛

    sonik – mine is a 14". Its a 'play' bike for me and a regular bike for my missus.

    ive chickened out of the headset fitting for tonight i think

    MTFU 😛

    Cheers grantway

    looking good fellas.

    Yay, got my green sliding drop inbred when I got home from my night ride last night.

    Boo, the missus has let me check it over but has now put it away till xmas (is a present from her), no amount of arm twisting is going to convince her that I need to build it now.

    Must say for £135 it looks bloody well built, my Curtis costs almost 6 times the amount and I wouldnt say the quality of the welds is any better, but time will tell.

    Can anyone tell me how long the gear cables would need to be for a 16" 456? Trying to order the outers so I can build up as soon as frame arrives!

    On that orange frame, did i see non-slotted cable guides on the top tube?
    What is it with on one and solid cable guides?
    Apart from that nice frame.

    So you can run full length outers.

    I was planning on running full length outers anyway so that's good. 🙂

    whats the paint like this time round, had one of the red 456's a year ago and some parts were not even covered in top coat, ie you could see the primer underneath especially where the seat stays met at the top of the seat tube ?

    Any better, GlennG, 2 chain tugs waiting for you 😆

    Paint looks good to me though I haven't checked it over thoroughly.

    Bunners, have checked mine over prior to the missus snatching it off me and it does look very good indeed, the inside of the seat tube could do with a clean up but generally the paints really good, my first On One so pretty pleased with the quality.

    Got yours through yet?

    Cheers on the chain tugs will get them off you on next mondays ride?

    So has anyone finished their build yet? I've just got the rear gear cable and shifter and the front brake to fit. 🙂

    Very close here – it's been ridden up the road and back – just struggling a bit with bleeding the rear brake. It'll settle down overnight, I'm sure, and if not – gives me something more to do tomorrow night.

    I put my headbadge on (straight, I think) and sorted the saddle out. The chaintugs have had to go on back to front as they're not On One ones, and, nice as they are, don't fit the back of the dropouts quite right.

    I'm looking at sorting the variety of colours out asap – with the red Reba stickers quite possibly being the first thing to go. The blue has to stay, and I do quite like the brown saddle and grips. Maybe in time the world will come to appreciate blue and green together… 😕

    It does look like a very nicely finished frame – way better paint than my old white sliding dropout Inbred. Very pleased so far – just can't wait to go for a good ride tomorrow after work. It'll be the Winter Inbred in the morning with the mudguards and the like… in the rain.

    ive decided to collect a complete LX groupset from 3 diffferent bikes, (instead of single speed) and then use that as an excuse to buy some x9 or x0 for my trance towards the end of the winter 😀
    (its going to be stripped and overhauled over the winter while the 456 is getting broken in)

    top!

    should be ready for the weekend


    so like this, but with different cranks and without the SS kit

    i reckon it would look REALLY good with white bars…… birthday coming up, parents and sister want a "Present priced" suggestion for me.

    bars please!

    I put my headbadge on (straight, I think) and sorted the saddle out.

    I spent ages moving mine around by very tiny amounts trying to get it right in the middle. 😉

    Maybe in time the world will come to appreciate blue and green together…

    Maybe, but maybe not blue, green and brown. Ths colour wheel says no

    😛

    Yup, I'm a big screaming hetero.

    The Pink is fantastic as is the Black

    Working nights – can't wait to start stripping 3 other bikes to build them up, with all the best bits.

    Good news bunnerscj. I must admit, the new paint-jobs strongly influenced my decision to buy. I know, i'm a tart. Is the paint quality good as others say?

    grumm

    Yup, I bought the summer season pretty much solely because of the silly orange colour 🙂

    Any more pics?

    What delievery service do they use to deliver the frames?

    alexonabike
    Full Member

    Do On-one send out 'dispatched' emails or did the frames just turn up?

    grumm

    Not sure about the delivery service sorry – i didn't get an email.

    poppa

    I asked On-One about delivery. Apparently they use DPD, and you should get an e-mail with delivery details, but since things are very busy for them this may/may not happen. If not, you should be able to enter your order number into DPD's tracking system as the sender reference, then enter your postcode, to obtain tracking information.

    I didn't get any confirmation of dispatch or anything like that. I got a payment confirmation when I placed the order last week and then the frame just turned up at work on Monday.

    No dispatch email, just turned up, infact no one was in so they just left it by the door – luckily the back door !
    Cant beat a bit of back door ! 😆

    It's arrived!! Yippeeee

    Only slight quibble – there is a heck of a lot of swarf rattling around inside the frame. Any tips on removal – or just stop it rattling?

    with all this talk about bikes would like to build one up using my old school kona and few upgrades on a Slot Dropout Inbred whats size bits will i need to do it so i can swap stuff rather than a build from scratch ie seat post bb and head set for winter hacker

    BB shell is 68mm wide and English Threaded. I don’t know what length BB axle you need, please ask your crank manufacturer – the chainline needs to be 50mm (normal for HT2 cranks).
    Chainline, again, should be 50mm min. Smaller will mean your chainrings hit the chainstays. We did this to optimise tyre clearance with a nod to modern standards. Yes – they do have less chainring clearance than older inbreds. But yes – they have more tyre clearance and better durability too.
    Seatpost size :: 27.2mm
    Seatclamp size :: 29.8/30mm – clamp not included
    Headset size :: 1.125in (inch and an eighth). Not included either.
    Faced and chased disc mount and BB/Headtube :: No
    Waxoiled/Framesaved? :: No
    Frame weight :: 5lb (18in size)
    Colour :: Red only – no custom options

    Nearly finished mine now – just got the front brake to fit. Took my first (sort of) ride on it, to the LBS, brakeless, to get some cables 🙂

    Feels nice already though.

    Quick and dirty mobile pic.

    Yes, the tyres are dirty and it needs a shorter stem. Maybe at the weekend…
