Any opportunities coming up to check this bike out Brant?
Nice looking spec for the money. How would the large frame size up for someone 6ft 4? The horizontal top tube and reach figures look reasonable and similar to other brands' xl frames. The website says size large recommended for riders upto 6ft 2.
any chance of a raw finish like the scandal ?

If you can get leg extension with a 20in seat tube, you're good to go.
I'd have said it'll be great.

Colours are blue or white. Both with Orange decals.
Obviously I'm an on one h8er but... **** me that's incredible value. And a lovely blue too. Came for the white, stayed for the blue.
Is the frame not stealth/internal dropper post compatible? Can't see any facility for it...
Brant
Will the Edinburgh store be getting one to get touchy/feely with ?
Nice riding in the video. Looks to be a good deal for the bike too 🙂

No. I wasn't happy with what it was doing to the fatigue test results on the seat tube and didn't want to hold things up longer until I fixed it.
Fair enough that. SO I take it you can extend that to "don't drill a hole in it"!
good vid! Needs to be an stw version with wobbly mincing on a smooth trail centre red, then complaining about the tyres not being up to the job on here.

If you read my comments over the last few months, you will have noticed this theme.

This did make me giggle this morning.

Met a chap riding one across houndkirk a couple of weeks ago. On one staffer. Bike looked very nice.
Unbelievable spec for the £
As if the barman is wearing an Iron Monkey teeshirt! That stoked me out as much as the riding. Good shit.
That videos is ace, riding looks really good.. I'm off to check out the geometry and justify a new bike.
This is ticking many boxes for my next bike.. If I can just save up another £700 between now and May, I'll have a small blue one with white forks.
On One branding is shockingly bad. Just because they represent value for money is no excuse to have branding on a par with Tescos Value.
The name "on one" conjures up images of 1990s pilled up ravers.

sure I read in mbuk once that was why? funny how brand is more important than the actual bike these days.
..any chance of a 26" version. I really dont want to ditch my wheels, I've just gone tubeless.
I'm not necessarily a fan of big wheels but I wouldn't say no to a test ride. This is an absolute bargain for the kit you're getting and deserves to do well.

And the problem with that is?
26er +1
If the 29er is fun a 26er will be funner.

Indeed
Named after OnOne SweetOne Promotions who did the party for my 21st at the Rivelin Valley campsite in August 1991. Then started a component company, then a bike company in 1999.
Boughted one (blue lg) and a reverb stealth (and drill bit).What's the worst that could happen?

If all the staff are off their tits on MDMA, that may explain the alleged customer service woes.
Those brakes are amazing. They piss on XT's.
Bike looks pretty good too.
Video seemed to target 16 yr olds.
First minute was embarrassing.
Doesn't look like a big wheeler in that vid and that's a good thing. Great riding too.
Funny what happens when you put someone who can ride on a 29" eh?

My wife thinks she was at this party. Or possibly it was a nemba race around the same time. Campsite off lodge lane? She was seeing a bloke called Darren who worked at freewheel on west st at the time.
Allegedly
First bit of the vid reminds me of smack my bitch up!
Makes me wanna ride NOW!

Really? My body language skills saw a guy getting tired of hefting all that weight around yet knowing he has to flick the back wheel for the promo. Didn't "flow" as nicely as some vids I've seen.
Which is no comment on the bike, just my observation of the vid.
Some classic STW statements on here 😆

Thanking you!
That has just increased the chances of me becoming £800 poorer somewhat. Much nicer than the white.
Sorry if this has been answered before - is the Codiene the eventual replacement for the El Guapo 26er, or is it instead of the El Guapo 29er?
Or is this a pure addition to the line up?

The El Guapo is a Titus model - Titus is being redeveloped for us by former Marin Mountainbikes designer Jason Faircloth. He's working on some new models for us for launch late this year/early next. El Guapo 29 is landing shortly.
Codeine is an On-One bike, designed as such.
There are no plans for a Planet X, Viner or Holdsworth full suspension bike.
Colours are blue or white. Both with Orange decals.
Are the decals underneath lacquer/clearcoat ?
I was getting really depressed at reading about nice frames then finding out they were almost £3k for the frame alone - thinking I would perhaps never be able to afford anythign decent again.
Then I saw this on the STW page yesterday, £800 frame only.
Cheers Brant 🙂
Very nice looking bike and I do fancy one. However, given the economy and my public sector job I cannot see me ever buying a new bike again.
Triggers broom and predominantly second hand for me.
*Sits waiting for the influx of second hand Codeines in 12 months time*
Are the decals underneath lacquer/clearcoat ?
Yes.
I still don't get how the frames are so cheap when the shock is nearly £500 on its own.....
Have to say, fair play. I'm guessing margins are less than some other companies to bring this to market at this price. I'm not looking for a new bike at the mo', but would definitely be very interested in the future. I hope it sells well.
fr0sty125 - MemberI still don't get how the frames are so cheap when the shock is nearly £500 on its own...
doesn't the 'frame only' option comes with a RS Monarch?
Are there likely to be demo bikes (or demo days) available of these, ideally from the new Edinburgh store? It's bargaintastic for sure but still a lot of money to spend without riding it first.

We don't pay £500 for the shock.

No. A CCDB Air.

We have plans for this.
OEM components aren't the same price as the retail ones, and sometimes (often?) they are actually different and lack features.

CCDB Air shocks don't have a different OE spec like this, though I can nod, and say that no, it's not the climb switch version, BECAUSE I don't think this bike needs it.
It climbs great.
Cool. I was thinking of the Fox DHX, where there were (are?) three versions, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 - but the 3.0 was the OE only version and lacked compression damping, presumably because it could be specced for the bike it came on.
I only know this because I had a bike that the bike shop had put one on, and it had far too much compression damping for the frame.
brant - MemberNo. A CCDB Air.
mind boggled.
top banana!
Ok, so given this bike is likely to be super popular, what are the chances of actually getting one in May via a pre-order? given that you'll be holding £2,500 or my hard earned? Is there a initial run volume guaranteed?? And will we know when that has been spoken for?

A valid question! Preorders are stock controlled. Orders are in for frame production. If we sell out, preorders will stop.
Cheers Brant. Seems pretty straightforward!
Brant what's the wheelbase on a large frame?
We have plans for this.
Great stuff, I'll keep an eye out.
Brant what's the wheelbase on a large frame?
1185mm
Ta and the bb height?
Ta and the bb height?
35mm drop from centres
will it be reviewed by any magazines? be interesting to read an independent review. (still waiting to see a review of the c456 evo)
looks great by the way, possibly best looking 29er i have seen.

Thanks for the nice words. I think there are a few journalists looking for a ride on one.
Any reason the full build comes with the single compound "enduro" tyre up front and dual compound "trail extreme" on the rear? Rather than the other way round as is usually the norm

Chunky Monkey up front.
Dual Compound Smorgasbord on the rear.
I'm not in the market for a new bike at the moment, but have to say that it looks like you've done a great job on this. Incredible spec for the money and looks well thought out overall. I even don't mind that it comes with Avid brakes - I've had Elixir CRs on my bike for the past three years and they've been faultless.
If it was available in XL and a raw finish, it would be even better. 😉

i had a look at this at the london Bike Show and i must admit i failed to realise it was a 29er. sadly i'd just bought a new bike, otherwise i'd be buying this now. amazing looking thing, just looks "right"
Brant,
Any plans for any stores down south in the future?
Cheers!
[i]Any plans for any stores down south in the future?[/i]
No.
Northern bikes for Northern folk. 🙂
Got one in Scotlandshire though, for the Yorkshire exPats.
If only it was an inch longer, still might have a drive down to look at one.

Shame, I imagine in a couple of prime locations (brum, London, etc) they would do quite well with your killer pricing?
Might make it easier for me to give one a spin too.... Sheffield is a good 3 hours or so from me!

Might make it harder to offer such killer pricing though, I imagine. At least there is the option to see (and ride) a physical bike, unlike the mailorder-only companies.
Er... "b r" isn't me. Or anyone from our company.
Stores around the country, like we just rolled out in Edinburgh, yes, part of the plan.

How tall are you?
Brant, I didn't notice the different name tbh, I blame the beer.
Good to know you are on the case!
And ash, I'm sure the overheads will be different but for the cyclist who knows what they are after and at a decent price I imagine they would flock in...(says the man with little retail experience...!)
Brant:
Colours are blue or white. Both with Orange decals.
That's understood - the question is will OnOne go with the other colors Brant you have mentioned in another thread - orange and raw? Some (planned) day? Or is it all for now?
Also for the frame-set and bikes - will OnOne have lower speced options (like monarch, revelation, etc)?
Brant - would you reveal also if stock volumes are sufficiently large so that there is anything to be ordered in May, considering the current rate of purchases? Just give me a hint, please 😉
(Just registered so hello everyone! Registered only because of Codeine :D)
somouk - MemberThe spec looks good apart from the Avid brakes
X0 Trail brakes. Entirely different from the Avid brakes people moan about (though probably haven't ridden with Avid brakes in years). They've been getting very strong reviews comparable with, if not exceeding XT. Indeed the range is now being replaced by the same 4 pot calliper design.
mattjg - MemberI got burned when I bought a SRAM crankset with odd BCD (I didn't know better, they should have), then I wore out the rings and couldn't get replacements, the cranks had to come off and go in a box, they're still there. Thanks for that.
You can changed the spider on most SRAM cranks to sensible BCD.
Re the brakes - Avids are brilliant when box fresh, it's 3 months in when changing pads that they drive you up the wall.
Hateful things.
Btw great vid, it's the first 29er i've actually wanted to ride.

It is selling well. I couldn't tell you right now at what point we'll sell out.

This is your experience with Avid X0 Trail Brakes?
No but 2 sets of Avid.
If they are sorted then that's good obviously, personally 2 bad experiences of one brand is enough to deter me from a third purchase.
