[Closed] On-One Codeine

That's an optical illusion - the bike and the beard are real-size but Ed is very far away

Looks fun.

looks good I hope they keep the price down could be very interested if it's a budget so-guano.

Are they the same bikes.. Rocket ?

no, 2nd one is a Growler

If I'm honest there are only a few bikes that jump out at me and make me say want.

This is one of them.

Looks great but needs a set up pic.

Where do I express interest? 8)

I prefer Ed. 😉

That does look good. Any more info? I can't sam to get onto the on One site at the moment.

Ooft, I like that a lot.

It just looks right, doesn't it? Purposeful. It's the first FS 29er that's got my juices flowing.

Must not buy anymore bikes.

Must........

Saw it a few days ago, it looks lovely. Simple lines and the shock is in a position that makes sense.

If they throw in a free beard with every order they´ll have a winner.

I have already ordered forks 😀

Called a "growler"?

That coud be fun explaining that one away..."I'm going to go and ride my growler" for example.

So this no new bikes going well then Shaggy?

made me laugh the names.
Are they all named after drugs?

It's a bit sort of... bendy. But only at one end, the other end's all a bit straighty. Either works but if you put the two together you're starting on a dangerous sliding slope that leads you to making bikes that look like Ellsworths.

Is that the Truth Northwind?

Certainly looks pretty special!

I'm still quite a fan of the el guapo 29er..

Wondering how different they are to ride? Shed any light Shaggy??

I'd ride that....and I would'nt mind having a go on the bike as well.
Make it looong Brant and I'll pre order one now 😀

Is that the Truth Northwind?

I was thinking it was more Daring tbh. Though this one's sort of triangle-pretzel rather than square-blob.

Now someone's summoned Brant I can ask how much discount I get for starting this thread. 😆

You've got to say his name 3 times and draw a pentagram with a teabag.

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!!!

Tell us when we can get one and amaze us with how cheap it's going to be. Please.

THe Growler was off about 5 or 10 years ago, wasn't it?

Growler was from about 2007. Not a current frame in case any were wondering.

EDIT - beaten by seconds by paulosoxo!

Ahh brings back memories of my youth.I hav'nt seen a growler up close for years.

Looks nice. Looks like it should be pointed down a hill....

The forks on that pic look really spindly though...

yes, funny how no one actually reads the thread titles isn't it?

Why let that spoil a good thread. I'm sure that Brant will be chuffed that everyone wants to buy a Growler 🙂

Married? IGMC.

don't understand bike in picture.. Guapo29 isn't even out yet, isn't this pretty similar? or no?

128mm rear travel with 440mm chainstays, 67deg head angle, 35mm BB drop. It’s a fun little number

ok so i don't know much about bikes, what's it for? other than having fun 🙂

if anyone's getting a discount it should be me, this was at the weekend afterall

But you have already got one.... 😉

❓

May have thought that one had arrived at your house 😳

Does it have this in it?
Edit: prototype frame pic deleted to stay on Brant's good side

Izzit me, or does it have a distinct similarity to the original Nukeproof Mega (I realise they have the same designer, but that rear triangle looks like it's come straight off a Nukeproof. Come to think of it, the front triangle doesn't look very different either.........)

Edit: and the bottom bracket arrangement is exactly the same, as far as I can see.

/\ he's not wrong ,especially if you squint hard at the bb/main pivot area (which in turn is'nt too dissimilar to an old turner).No bad thing in my book as long as it does'nt share the mega's soopa steep seat angle.

I hope they do a carbon version following on from the same value as their hard tail frames. 650b compatible would be nice too if it is possible to make a frame adaptable for both without compromising either.

Really I can't see it myself.

Hmmm! Ok maybe the rear but the front only has a few resemblances.

Rear triangle in triangular shocker.

Shock attached to rear triangle shocker

Actually no I can't.

Yes I'm bored been on nights so wide awake.

Doesn't look very dissimilar to a canyon torque 170, just with a a shorter stroke shock. One of the only 29ers I want too.

That's the newer mega, I'm talking about the original one.

This one?

[img] [/img]

Yep.

Edit: this link http://twitpic.com/c23z5h shows the rear triangle arrangement, the bottom bracket arrangement, and the pivot placement. They are 'cut and paste' from the original mega, or I'm a Dutchman.

Edit 2: look here http://www.sicklines.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/16202/size/big

Nope still don't see it.

Maybe I should go and learn Flemish.........

normal threaded BB 😀

Ja.

"don't understand bike in picture.. Guapo29 isn't even out yet, isn't this pretty similar?"
apart from this is a single pivot?

ah thought it was a faux-bar, which didn't make sense either as Horst patent has expired (?)
so.. what's it for? shape and coil suggests DH but single pivots were never that great DH 'cos of braking effects i thought? and a Revelation 32mm. hmm.

just realised the EG29 is a 140mm bike, so this is a beefier AM 29er and they couldn't find a suitable fork for it yet?

Looks nice, shame about the big wheels.

Like that

Steep seat angle? Yup. Helps to winch and plummet.
Singlepivot? Yup.
Braking effects? Sam Hill seems to be loving his Nukeproof, which evolved from the Scalp which I helped scribble down. Actually this bike has the same downtube as the Scalp. A bit over built but it'll let us get the centres signed off.
Travel is 128mm, 440mm chainstays.

If they throw in a free beard with every order they´ll have a winner.

There's always a free beard - just order the bike then avoiding shaving until it's delivered 😉

Are the brake mounts straight and can you fit a front mech on?

Anyway looks good, I'm liking the departure from XC 29ers towards fun bikes to ride.

You can't fit a front mech on. No.

You can't fit a front mech on. No.

is there any news on an [i]affordable[/i] version of xx1? I like being able to ride up hills

Brant how would you describe what this bike is for? First 29er I've liked the look of.

Mega 29 esque?

Will they need a file?

Helps to [u]winch[/u] and plummet

You can't fit a front mech on. No

Brant how would you describe what this bike is for? First 29er I've liked the look of.

It's what I'd call a trail bike. I'm well aware it's lack of front mech will cause issues but:-
1) 28/36 low gear is pretty low.
2) I don't mind walking sometimes.
3) Removing front mech capabilities lets us do other things better.
4) Life is one long compromise.
5) Other bikes are available.

5) Other bikes are available.

Whens the updated Titus FTM being realeased?

Ta. Lack of front mech not necessarily a problem. What's a likely build weight without spending silly money? I would definitely prefer beefier forks - not sure what's available for 29ers though.

Ed's is 32lb right now, and I've got a plan to get a pound out of the frame.

2) I don't mind walking sometimes.

Let the rushers rush, pushing the bike now and again calms the soul.

1) 28/36 low gear is pretty low.

Are there any 28t chainsets available for mear mortals who can't justify XX1?

Are there any 28t chainsets available for mear mortals who can't justify XX1?

MRP blingring on a SRAM XO crank works a treat on 29er, although I should say my 29er weighs sub-26lbs. At 32lbs I'm not sure I'd feel the same way on climbs!

I love it! Looks ideal for some DH trips. Now patiently awaiting sizing and price.

Reminds me of the Canfield 29er Proto.

Brant just incase you look into this thread again-any idea on timescales for this? A long way off production?

"1) 28/36 low gear is pretty low."
24/36 (or 22/34) on a 26" wheel bike over 28/36* on a 29"er is around 2 gears lower?

*or the less costly 32/36 on a 29"er around another gear again?

Fair enough its a compromise to allow some other things, but what other 'trail' bikes are single ring only?

Kind of annoying the stays on this 29"er are the same length as my 26" EG .. it does climb pretty well tbf

Brant's on a trip for a bit I think.

On reflection....I think I'll be sticking to plan 'A' (anybody want an xl Yelli?)
