is the on-one inbred still in a league of its own when it comes to slot dropped bikes, OTP £650
or are there any other serious contenders

Probably not but I think you'd struggle to build a complete bike for that with another frame that rode as well.
Not sure what OTP is but I guess it's 'complete bike'
Have a look on their site currently - some brilliant deals on build kits.
Not sure about best, but they sure ride nice!

As above - the "rolling chassis" deals etc on the On-One site at the moment are quite good value if they are close to what you would build anyway. I have a S/S rigid Inbred that I built up with Pace forks for around £650 using a mix of fancy new and cheap used bits.
Also look at Genesis i0 (sometimes deals available on last year's model, ex demo etc). Pipedream Sirius, Sanderson Soloist etc are nice, but a good deal more than the cheap as chips Inbred frame.
I'd say they were about the best VFM OTP if you want slotty droppy action.
P.S. OTP = Off The Peg
i am indeed looking for a VFM OTP SS SDA rather than EBB

Genesis IO is exactly that price. 🙂
It's just as good a bike as an Inbred (I've got both) but a bit weighty out of the box (26.5lb) A change of tyres helps a lot though, as they are very heavy and draggy.
very good point
cyclexpress* appear to be offering a further 10%, but (un)fortunately the site is stalling due to my firewall.
balancing that with £30 off for the build from OO and a bit more choice in the colours and finishing kit..
*never used or even heard of before
*waits on edge of seat*
i will ponder the frame fork colour options over lunch (again)
As per PP, Genesis IO is very good. 2 members of my family have them.
is there any point comparing the geometry of each? looking at a medium/17"/18" kinda size.
so far its down to price, colour, tyres
