    The chain looks like it’s been left on during a rattle can respray. Other than that nice.

    Aesthetically great frame balanced out by crude black frame protection (at least that’s what I assume it is) 😕

    Black fork will look great 😀

    I also was thinking of the bit where the seat tube and top tube meet by the dropper post cable too. The black on the downtube ironically looks like the worst bit of this “black bike” 😀 Was a bit more yellow on the down tube too much to ask from On-One? 😀

    Really fun looking bike that should be a blast!

    The black bit for the dropper cable is just there until some protection tape comes.

    Not sure of the purpose of the black bit, maybe to look like it’s stronger?

    I like it though…looks fast…

    Black forks would look ace, but i reckon the chain needs to match the pedals

    Needs some green anodized parts, maybe some orange too, then I think you have pretty much every “black” covered 😀

    Probably because we’d assumed you’d left your bike outside your local public convenience.

    It looks like the colour of the bruising you get a week after a big crash, love it!

    Just in case anyone cared, I have now put the new forks, bars and grips on. Much more subtle.

    Bars are 810, they are a BIT wide TBH….left them uncut for now, but experimenting with the width…

    Bars grips saddle pedals need to be Black. Chain needs to be silver. Bars need shortened about 100mm.

    Or grips need to be blue, saddle needs to be red, for rainbow effect.

    White box on wall needs cleaned of grime. Hose needs leek fixed and small drain put in underneath it.

    Yeah, white bars are out of place, but 100mm!!! Chain is horrible, I admit.

    Hose is not leaking as such, I had just used in and it is dribble. Drain? Nice…

    Is that the new colour for the C456?

    I do like it. But then, there’s no accounting for my taste!

    Nope, old colour I think, was at the reduced price!
