Made you look! 😉

Well new frame (an On One 29er Inbred in case you hadn't guessed) arrived this morning, and glad I went for purple not orange in the end...

Obviously now just have to get it built up! So best order a new headset and a seatclamp and the rest can be transferred straight over from my old Rig.

OH, and a prize to anyone who can guess the weight (to the nearest ounce) correctly... Yes, I'm sad, I weighed it!

Can't be as good as my orange one because mine cost £43 more...... 😉

Looking forward to seeing it built.

LOL @ MrTall

Did you weigh your frame at all? Not that I'm that bothered, but I was quite shocked to put it mildly, as is the 29er Inbred basically just a normal Inbred front end with a slightly longer back end?

Mine was a shade over 6lbs in 21" size which is roughly what i was expecting. Despite being built up as a rigid singlespeed i doubt the eventual weight will be much under 28lbs or so as there is nothing fancy going onto it (apart from an 'Wiggle Special' matching Orange Charge Spoon saddle).

I must weight mine one day. By the sounds of it the frame probably weighs about the same as my Epic's does.

5lb 14oz in the 18" for mine...

Like I said, not that bothered, just a bit surprised given it's "only" a normal Inbred with a slightly longer back end, isn't it?

6lb hardtail, pointy seatstays, purple?

It's 1993 again and I claim my five pounds.

Sweet! Nice colour!

Looks like it's new on one frame day - I've just had word that my lime green 456 is waiting at home. Looks like a night in the garage for me!

eh? 😕

LOL, can't afford to matey, sorry... Not at the moment anyhow. Figure on their being an 8spd Alfine hub on a Mavic 29er rim for sale in a few months though when that 11spd Alfine hub comes out!

It would be, but nobody ran 29er wheels in 1993... 😉

Nice one, have fun. I've gotta wait for a new headset and seatclamp yet, so probably won't be built to mid/end of next week for me...

And what's appening to the rig then!

Frame to be sold to the highest bidder, if you get me... All the parts on it being donated to the new frame...

How come you're changing over from the Rig then?

How different is the On One over the Gary Fisher?

Only interested cos if its a big differences I could be interested!

Although the main thing I would like to get built up is one of those rear hubs like yours, they look ideal for me.
