Seen that On-One Codeine now showing as not available on their website. Anyone know why? As a happy Codeine owner I'm wondering if mine's going to explode at any minute!

Some sort of quality issue, they pulled it. (With a new batch of frames, I think, not quality of the frames in general)

As above they pulled their latest batch of frames.

Wonder if it has happened like the El Guapo V3 the first batch were fine then a 2nd batch wasn't then the ones after that were.

I'm tempted into buying one so wish they would sort it or at least publish what the issue is and let customers know.

I'm after one too so phoned and asked them last Monday. They said beginning of December. However I've also seen them write "imminently" on a facebook comment.

As previously stated they tested the last batch of frames for structural quality and found them lacking so sent them back. Fair play for not selling them and being responsible, but I wish they'd kept us punters a bit better informed.

Are they actually going to continue with them or does brant hold the design rights?...sceptic in me thinks the latter.

They'd need to be seriously lacking in foresight to have contracts that allow their designer to leave and take the rights to the designs with him. Given the positive reviews it's had I can't imagine they wouldn't continue with it once the quality problems are sorted.

Always wondered why it says in the blurb

Our first ever suspension frame

They must have forgot about

I think they probably mean the first one they designed, rather than picked out of the catalogue 😉

catalogue
I dunno, the top tube was the same as the armadillo, and I heard the back end was some sort of colaboration with Asterix (anyone else remember their bikes?).

They must have forgot about

And those ex-raceteam Ti softails they were trying to sell for silly money.

That did make me chuckle, although IME their paint is far from the worst out there!

[edit] Astrix mention the suspension on the growler on their site so it's definatley not a catalogue bike, they also mention the Planet-X Storker whcih google finds a few mentions of but no pics?
