[Closed] On-One hardtails

Had a 456, currently got an inbred

never heard of them.

[img] [/img]

My old man just bought a 45650b, before that he had an 853 Inbred.

Will give you an update on what he thinks of it in a few days when he's ridden it and I've spoken to him.

I ride a 456c

It treats me very well.

I have a 456: Cheap, heavy, absolute blast to ride and indestructible!

I ride a 456 evo II and I love it. Cheap, good geo, massivly fun to ride and I had no issues getting it delivered 😉

Most people on here have probably had one at some point. I've had 2. A 456 SS and now an inbred 29er. Both fantastic. Especially the inbred.

had a 456 and a 456 ti, both awesome fun and cheap as.

I have a 26er inbred, and a 29er inbred frame to be built. Girlfriend has 456, my two best mates have 29er Inbreds and a Parkwood between them.

Inbreds and 456 are tough and fun bikes to ride, very capable. Quite heavy.
Parkwood is lovely to ride and quite light.
All are very good value for what you get.

They don't have the feel of 853 or titanium, you wouldn't expect that. But I don't wince with rock strikes, and I wouldn't be gutted i'd lost £500 if i broke it in a chrash (would take some doing, as that weight equates to toughness!).

I have a 456, heavy* but brilliant!

*by overall standards, compared to other steel bikes it's not too bad. You could spend the £500 saved over other brands on lighter parts and come out lighter overall I reckon.

26er Scandal. It's ace
Fatty. It's ace

456 (oldish) -
Bad - heavy, unforgiving, chainstays too long
Good - Cheap, stable, you can hang bicycle components off it, rack mounts.

It's alright(better than alright really) in a getting the job done kind of way

had 3 x 456 1 x summer season 2 x inbred 29ers, now on a parkwood.
fantastic bits of kit for the money, regardless of what is said on here, they are the dogs.

456 ti evo, ace bike

Mines alright. Evo 456 standard build.

Weighs as much as the moon but i've had zero issues with it. I did manage to ding the rim but it just shrugs it off. 60 plus mile canal rides are a ball ache though with massively heavy wheels.

Carbon 456 I built up, and every time I ride it I just think I really love this bike. It was just going to be a spare bike to my full sus but I love it just as much. Even better now I've got Pikes on it.

I've got an Inbred that I've had for about 3-4 years now.

Built it up wit the bits that came off my old Stumpjumper FSR, when i replaced that.

It's fine. I like the look of it (went for the Barry White black & gold), and it rides fine.
It seems pretty heavy though. I haven't built it up with really light, high end components, but it just feels heavier than it should be.

Here's a pic from when it was first built up.

Stoner - on-one should do an advert around you!

hardly. I havent bought a new frame for at least 2 yrs 🙂

I've had a 456 for about 5 years. It's been brilliant, and never put a foot wrong. Now i've also got an Inbred 29er (one of the limited edition singlespeed specific ones). That's also brilliant, apart from the paint chipping very easily.

You can pay thrice the price for something 5% lighter, if that's your thing. Personally, i'd rather have something sturdy that i don't have to worry about.

There's plenty of love for On One's products on STW.

I've had:-

Inbred Mk2 (still my daily commuter, 12years old now)
Steel 456 (now my winter SS, ad this for 8 or 9 years)
Slot Inbred 26 (n-1)
Kaffenback (weird sizing/handling for me, we didn't get on)
Scandal 26 (brilliant, nicer ride than the steel ones)
Scandal 29 (just brilliant, should have kept it, but got rid to fund anthem 29)
Team SL (very good, but front end too low for me)
Carbon 456 (fun, fun, fun)

I much prefer the alu and carbon ones. The Scandals (very versatile and fast) and C456 (masive fun!) in particular are blimmin brilliant.

456 evo 2 here - not that much heavier than other steel frames of a similar intended use. Cheap. Seemingly indestructible with more compliance than the original 456 and 456 evo due to them using a smaller seatstay join assembly.

I love it. It is my only bike, gets caned twice a week. IMO the only reasons not to but one is the narrow head tube and (if you're bothered - which I'm not) the 26" wheels.

never heard of them ?

I just think on one bike look right too. not flashy or bling, just right.
a bike built just to do the job.

Mate of mine has had a 29" Inbred for a few years and loves it. He's just ordered a Parkwood.

V brake ss inbred
Disc brake ss inbred
456
parkwood
pompetamine

They are that cheap you can just keep collecting them. Down to 3 now, sold the old inbred and 456.

Had an inbred a 456 a pompino and now got a lurcher

My inbred was so old it had Cantis

IMO it never seems worth selling them. The Scandal and one of the pompino frames are in the loft waiting for Jr to grow into them 🙂

I got drunk once and bought an inbred frame on here, built it up and it's pretty nice to ride 🙂

this-(I have a 456: Cheap, heavy, absolute blast to ride and indestructible!)

Had an inbred, then a 456, then a Scandal V2 and the Mrs has an inbred.

For the money they are ace.

No wonder I don't think I've seen you on the same bike twice Mark…

At least I [i]try[/i] to go by the "one in, one out" rule!

I had the old C456, terrible build quality (the finish dropped off in big chunks, like it had leprosy) but good to ride. I ended up really soured on the whole thing because On One lied their way out of the warranty so I sometimes forget that I actually liked the bike quite a lot. But I wouldn't buy another bike from them.

Have - Ti 456
Had - 456 , 456 summer season, slidy dropouts inbred , geared inbred .
Want -fatty

Seen a couple of people say that about the finish with the paint flaking off, though mine is raw and no issues there. Looks odd in certain light, but looks great generally. Only marks it has are from me scratching the frame here and there.

18" c456 in black and grey with a 140mm dual air revelation race coming up for sale soon if yer interested?

MK1 29er scandal here. it's nice, cheap and er, rides like a bike.

it could do with being longer, but aside from that seems to work ok.

I had a 29er Inbred for a while - it was a good bike if a bit portly! Still, this does mean that they are pretty tough (steel) frames.

I have a carbon whippet. Really pleased with it. The frame cost me £250! It's been ragged about, dropped and done thousands of miles on a roof rack in all weathers. It's as ugly and battered as the day I bought it brand new from the warehouse.

It does really creak though.

On my second 456 (my better half sold the first one). The current one has the bits of my Superlight which I broke - if I break the 456, then I suspect that I may die doing it. Son No 2 just bought a 456EVo as his second bike. Love them

Had 3 Inbreds, have one whippet frame ( for sale) as I ride the C456 so much it isnt used. C456 Mk1 is a great bike. Just rails everything and with 140 Fox Talas on the front is plush and perfect. Also have a Scandal 26 er for slick ride to work and the Mrs has a 14 inch Scandal for singlespeeding. Cant complain really other than smoothe headsets. The C456 is getting a rough time, but as its so cheap, i am not really worried, just want to ride is more and more and chainsuck is just a by product of wear.....

I just think on one bike look right too. not flashy or bling, just right.
a bike built just to do the job.

Nope, the lurcher is unforgivably ugly. And not in an ugly integrated TT/stem on an XC bike, or mondraker bulging top tube ugly or even a "what were the graphics designers thinking with that colour scheme" ugly. It's just ugly!

On One surely have grasped the concept of viral marketing and SEO

/tinfoilhat

Some really good feedback.....cheers.

Looking at the On-One 45650B and the On-One 456 Evo 2.

Which of the stores is best to visit; Barnsley or Sheffield?

I've had a Scandal 29er & Lurcher 29er . Both SS & the most fun bikes ever to ride !

Got to disagree with thisisnotaspoon , I think the Lurcher is a fantastic looking bike , built up as a rigid single speed anyway , the Scandal , well I love it , but my God , that us ugly !!

Love my 45650b. Got a raw, stuck 150 revelation forks on it and some flow ex's and its a joy to thrash.

I've got a 456C, unfortunately It doesn't get used as much as it should as I have a full suss as well and prefer that for the local trails, coming from a steel hard tail (P7) I thought I would feel stiffer but I have been pleasantly surprised so far,
Might as well post a pic while I'm here

Pink 456.
Heavy, poor paint finish/cosmetics, cheap, looks well proportioned but above all else a hoot to ride and tough as flash fried brisket.

Balls double post.

Anyone got any experiences of the 456c evo?

Loved my 456, wish I still had it.

[IMG] [/IMG]

Got a 456c Evo. Great fun. Extremely stiff. Built with Pikes and Flow Ex on Pro II Evo, SLX brakes and Zee 1x10 drivetrain. It's 26lbs and bullet proof!

(Neighbours fence and shocking drive!)

I'm on my third 26 SS standard Inbred, with what is to my mind the best build it's ever had.

26lbs which could be 23 without the DH spec bits.

It's just "my" bike. It sinks like a stone if you like "getting air" but you'll never break one.

Every time I go in the Edinburgh Planet x, I stroke my credit card, look at the silver 456 Evo, and go Naaaaah, I'm ok.

Really liked my Inbred & despite people saying they're heavy, it weighed exactly the same as an 853 frame that replaced it. Not a big deal for me, but, for £250 or so difference in price I did hope for a bit of weight saving.

Just had a go on my old mans brand new 45650b.

Handles better than his mk2 nomad, I reckon he's going to end up not riding that or buying a new full susser. Low, slack, good standover in the 16 inch model. Feels longer than it actually is in the top tube, at 182cm it felt a pretty good fit for me! It felt almost exactly the same as my Medium Nukeproof Mega, except that the tail was hard! I guess it does have a 60mm stem compared to my old 45 mm stem, I was thinking it would be awful going back to a longer stem but it's actually pretty good.

27.5's definitely roll over square edge hits a little better and you definitely feel more sat in the bike - it feels like a mini motocross bike. It's a bike that is going to respond wonderfully to being muscled around and cuttied with one leg out round corners.

There's no vertical compliance that I can feel other than the tyre, it's stiff as hell. Funnily enough it feels like it has some lateral compliance though when manual/wheeling out of turns. Could be the tyre rolling though but I never felt that in his inbred, his Nomad or any of my previous bikes. Only in his Ibis Mojo that he had years ago. It gives the bike a wonderful amount of contact patch feeling and confidence in the bikes grip.

The finish isn't that great though, it's a raw and it came with a couple of pretty big marks in the top tube. The wheel tension is ****ing shite (luckily we can both build wheels) and the brakes need a bleed.

Sweet to hear Tom

My 26er Scandal is perfect for me. It needs a dropper, I've bought a Tmars for it but it weighs about as much as the frame so I can't bring myself to fit it.

scandal 29er 21" below, I will never sell it, first rode it rigid but now 120mm x-fusion trace forks make it a blast at trail centres with big tyres but still an xc weapon with light tyres. Its a cracker to ride but 26er hardtails will always be more fun - I'm selling an 853 steel 26er if interested, geared, better than an inbred and under 2.4kg 20" frame.
...sorry about the ridiculous collection of ancillaries and mud, MTBO tomorrow and it will be muddy + i need snacks

I started with a 456 then got a slot dropout Inbred which I ran SS rigid and which was the only properly light bike I've ever had, then a C456 and a 29in limited edition SS Inbred. Now only have the C456 and I think that's soon to go. All great bikes and I miss them all. Looking forward to a carbon Parkwood with slightly shorter chainstays that I can run SS. Come on On-One, you know you want to!

Had a Scandal which I sold to a mate and am plotting to liberate as he has lost interest in MTB and also a 456. This only lasted a year before I got fed up of its rather unsubtle charms and put the bits on another frame. However 2 years on the frame is still hung in the garage waiting for me to decide whether to sell or not. Every time there is an excess of bits eg just gone 29 so 26 wheels etc hanging around, I think about building it up again but can't quite summon the commitment but can't sell it either. Perhaps this is the year it appears as a winter hack.

Have a 29er Rigid Inbred, ridden numerous 456s.

456 Evo Carbon[img][URL= http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag69/nickthorpe1/IMG_0056_zpsf2117a4f.jp g" target="_blank">http://i1299.photobucket.com/albums/ag69/nickthorpe1/IMG_0056_zpsf2117a4f.jp g"/> [/IMG][/URL][/img]

Big fan of the 456 here - been out for a great ride on my old That Blue this morning. They really are great bikes - value aside.

I'm sorely tempted by an Evo II and was wondering if anyone who's got one knows if there's cable routing / guides for the dropper, now they've made the seatpost diameter larger? Can't quite make out from the pics if there are two open guides and the two closed ones for the gear cables?
