Dude… people have been telling you this for ages now, you should have listened!

– weirdy beardy (69er – is that the term for 26 rear and 29 front, not the other 69 thing)

only if you live at the bottom of a great big hill and you work at the top.

20 minute jog/run!

gives us a selection of about 10 colours cause I didn’t like half the on-one ones

maybe, if you ask nicely brant can pinch one on his way out the door.

are they seriously going to be branded shedfire? stickerless options please! oh and if you could make it like an alpine but half the price that would be good too.

thats not a few photos, thats the same photo twice, must try harder!

EDIT: thats better!!!

pics?

wonder how many on-one geeks went to bed early and struggled getting to sleep thinking what might become of brant the messiah.

What will be first then, a chain reaction steel hardtail for 50p.

You’ve messed with that druidh! This is the real version.

British bicycle company Planet X has announced today that the search is on for a bike designer for its On-One brand, a company affectionately known as Europe’s original singlespeed anti-brand. Former journalist Brant Richards, On-One’s designer and mouthpiece, has been plucked away by Trek Bicycles as they plan on entering the steel hardtail market.

Part of the Planet X stable, On-One was created over nine years ago by Dave Loughran and Richards and has seen significant growth during their time working together, according to Loughran. On-One’s iconic bikes include the Inbred, Scandal, and 456.

“This is an exciting time for On-One,” he added. “We are looking for a new designer and the opportunities are out there to continue to fill a niche that big manufactures can’t see. We always said that our most successful projects were finding the “niche of a niche” and that’s a tradition were going to continue.

“I believe a new designer, with different ideas and a fresh look will help take On-One further along its unusual path,” Loughran added. “I am sorry that Brant is leaving and wish him every success. He has been an influential part of the team that has built a brand with strong foundations and a cult following.”

makes it slightly more difficult to view at work on the sly.

201!! Do I win?

I don’t own an on-one or intend to buy one but just **** tell us will you!!!!!

Dam you Jamie, I had just got a bloody dialled alpine out of my mind after thinking about it all weekend and you go and bring it back. Nice snow pictures everybody. This is my snowy ride pic from wednesday.

Different kind of riding but still…. its riding on snow!

Back in October I stayed at the Emerald Lake Lodge which is just the other side of the rockies, about 30-40 mins from lake louise, it was very nice. Here’s some pics from my trip up the icefields parkway to get you stoked[/url]

We all have dump valves! mine usually goes pffft pffft pfft splash!

I did the red a few weeks back on one of the alpitude hire bikes after years of doing it full suss, the hardtail was hard work and i was pretty beat by the end of it, it was my first time on the bike in a few months but still it was harder work on the hardtail.

not a problem, email is roy dot susan dot bc at googlemail dot com, we did the same thing, came over on holiday loved it and moved a couple of years later, your not really going to be dissapointed, just sitting having my brekkie deciding whether to go snowboarding, snowshoeing or go for a run or something, might leave the snowboarding till it gets dark. Currently being blinded by the sun coming in our big windows, its a bugger, did I mention that i like it here, a lot.

Wasn’t me but I moved to Vancouver (well Burnaby, six miles east of downtown Vancouver) a year ago tomorrow and I’m a transport planner. Let me know if I can help.

second the pitch, some people on here have been getting great deals on them lately, can’t go wrong with an FSR frame and pike fork.

better get a move on or you’ll be late!!!!

well just MTFU and do the black in the dark, have some brekkie then do the red!!!!!! :D

nice cycle computer.

perfect excuse for a new bike, I would say the crush is fine, might have a harsher ride than you are used to but def go for a new bike.

Never heard of this before, I wouldn’t ever send the goods without the money in my account, although sounds like the money is in your account just hasn’t been released for you to use. Not everybody leaves feeback and not always early so you might have to wait the 21 days, sounds crap to me.

I have the 426, they are coil with steel steerer and have the handlebar mounted floodgate thingy, also have u-turn.

I’m in burnaby on top of the mountain, couldn’t believe how much snow there was when we drove back up today. Got the 4×4 which works pretty well except when you need to stop. Need to look into some snow tires for it i think if i’m going to make the most of this winter.

ha ha! 2 inches! There was 3 inches outside my front door when i left to come back home to the uk mid december, just got back home to canada a few hours ago and found this up my street. Taking tomorrow off work to go play.

I’m mostly liking it, couple of things that would be good are to remove the bit that says posted XX minutes ago for every post, it just means the thread takes longer to scroll through.

It would also be better if each thread was contained within one page like the old forum, this was one of the best features.

Another thing i like on other forums is if you hover over a topic heading it brings up the first bit of text in that post so you can preview the thread without clicking on it.

Apart from that, good job to all the STW staff.

sunchaser, you’re screwed now!
