So, what’s Brant going to do at CRC?

“If you need a nervous tester I can ride em’ down BluePig etc”

or at least give an opinion on what they’re like to push 😉

Hmmm spot on i think.

Nope, looks like the Ti 456 is coming from Lynskey when the exchange rate improves.
Airbourne in China are going to produce the Ti 456 for On One to sell at £799!

Pete

enough waffle what about the beef jerky situation!

Mr Brant,

I’ve been patiently waiting for news on the beef jerky situation for longer than this lot and their sodding niche frames, please don’t tell me I’m gonna have to wait for CRC to hit the skids before I can get any!!!

oh the humanity!!

mrnutt: rumour has it (god aren’t rumours fun..) that he will be trialling some prototype dried meat products at HTN1.5 this weekend

HTN1.5? Wassat?

I like Bluepig and the one coming down from something-pots next to the garages.

Lovely compact ride.

It’s Hang Lun, not Airborne…

And of course they’re already making stuff for Van Nicholas….

Shedfire? Is that a joke? Terrible name imo.

HTN1.5 but I’m at afan!! a fiver to any brave soul that can secure me a bag of such fabled meaty goodness!!!

The press release suggests the brand name for the bikes hasn’t been announced yet. I think Bikeradar have jumped the gun a bit (again) announcing that the bike brand will carry the same name as Brant’s company.

Oh, and I prefer biltong to jerky. Anyone know a good supplier of a nice game biltong? Preferably made from UK meat?

I think Bikeradar have jumped the gun a bit (again)

yeah. as you say. “again”.

Interesting move, I guess after nine years in the job a man’s allowed to move on. I bought my Inbred frame when On-One was selling to shops and personally I prefer to actually be able to ride a bike before I buy it.

I have a funny feeling that On-One may not have much life left in it now, especially if Brant does target the same market with his new brand. But Planet X will still be there, they have a healthy road and CX product range after all.

Best of luck Brant!

On-one is dead long live Brant

is Bluepig a dried meat product?

Must be missing something here, cos I don’t quite ‘get’ all the excitement.

Kelvin, for biltong I’d recomend these guys:

http://www.cruga.com/about.html

He’s got a whole heap of work coming up to think of a completly new line in witty product names.

Of course, we could help

MrNutt; I can get you some Billtong type gear, if you want. Gonna cost you more than a fiver, though- it’s well spensive!

I can send you the inner lining from some old shoes if you want for the cost of the postage only. You won’t be able to tell the difference

Actually bluepig would be a good name for a frame!

Cheers, ghostdog, I’ll give them a try and order a stick come pay day.

The Bluepig – available in any colour except blue

Cheers, ghostdog, I’ll give them a try and order a stick come pay day.

save us a bag for analysis.

I’m sure we can do it in the valley.

good call ghostdog!!

Is that a euphemism?

It’s more interest than excitement (although I’d bet Brant is plenty excited about the future): I’d guess most people on here have either (a) owned an On One or Planet X bike (b) ridden one (c) know someone who has or (d) received a grumpy sounding email from Brant about stock levels and your order or (e) all of the above.

Most people that have ridden On Ones, especially Inbreds, have a fondness for them and found them excellent, British-designed for British-riding, bike frames and are curious what their designer, a regular poster here is going to do next.

Does that help you out at all?

I’m still confused. I don’t think we are getting the full story, but I doubt that we ever will.

What is so different from the current setup?
If Brant isn’t working for Chain Reaction, is he going freelance? I’m not sure I’d give up a regular pay cheque in this financial climate.

Is he going to have as much freedom with the CRC?
Probably not, but if he’s not working for them are they going to fund his frame and component designs?

Knowing Brant’s acerbic wit, I wonder how long it will be before he pisses off someone at CRC?

I’d also like to know why the job advert for Brant’s replacement were so quickly taken down from the On One website?

So many un-answered questions.

Do I really care? Not really, but I hate being lied to and I hate hypocrites.

I DEMAND THE TRUTH!! I’M NOT A NUMBER I’M A FREE MAN!!!!!!!!

…you can’t handle the truth!

I have a suspicion that the tax man may not have helped matters.

I’d also like to know why the job advert for Brant’s replacement were so quickly taken down from the On One website?

I didn’t even see that!

andrew – I have owned 2 on-ones and received emails from Brant, still don’t quite get the this level of ‘interest’ but thanks for your take on it.

Ok so it was more of an announcement that Planet X were looking for a new designer rather than a specific job advert.

Brant – While you’re following this thread, are the 29er Carbon Forks really not supplied with a 300mm steerer like the web site advertises?

I’m a nosey bastard I can handle anything!!!!

I think that might have been the conclusion I reached towards the end of last week. Yes.

Hmmmmm ideas for Shedfire?

We have the Shedfire Bluepig and the Shedfire Titus (named after Titus Salt).

All modelled by 18yr old nubile girls in tiny bikinis

Shedfire Titus

Can you have a model name the same as another make?

Sounds like On-One will be left out in the snowy wilderness.

Is my MK1 tinbred now a retro classic, and will I have to start saving for something new in the near future? How long will it take to get the new Shedfires into production?

Brant has already started on some of his new designs and is taking inspiration from the technology of WWI. We have managed to get hold of a spy shot of his new adjustable dropouts on what we believe will be called the ‘Sommester’. This is a fixed gear bike with a revolutionary new ‘tracked wheel’ arrangement. Brant could not be reached to confirm or deny this new development as he is believed to be hiding in a trench somewhere North of Todmorden’
