I love Marmite. Maybe thats why I love On-One.

Simply marvelous eh?
Apparently the only man-made objects you can see from space are the Great Wall of China and the new On-One frames. Except thats just a myth. You can only see the frames from space.

Bingo!

I've already specced out my pink parts list for a fruit salad lookylikey!

I want it to offend as many naysayers as possible, I want them to vomit from 200yds...

Trouble is, every other colour scheme ive looked at since just seems dull as dishwater. A bit like derekrides.

That is honestly the best colour scheme I have seen in ages. I bet you didn't see many people complaining when orange brought out their fluoro colour ways.

Reminds me of the computer game Homeworld.

But, it won't match with anything else ever, will it? I like it but I can't see it building up well.

Can someone explain the RT-57 to me?

It's not an out and out race bike, so what is it? The tiny headtube rules it out as a 'sportive' bike, BB30, carbon fibre and tapered head tube rule it out as a winter trainer (i.e. none of your old parts will fit), so what is it? And will you be making a N2 in those colours as that could be a deciding factor!

Heh heh. Gotta hand it to on-one, that's beautiful and appalling in equal measure. Ive never owned anything made by them but I'm glad they do what they do, especially if it pisses off the dullards.

Well worth painting your forks to match.
As i've currently got 3 black bikes i'd be up for a change.
My only problem with it is its paint on carbon - why:-)

Lemon and Lime? Just need to add some custard coloured tyres and some gaudy annodising and it will guarantee vomit at 40 paces.

The raw carbon finish on my c456 is not pretty, but I agree - you can't polish a turd and painting it just makes it a heavier turd.

Good job it's such a sweet riding turd.

Obviously you need to pay more attention.

I want to try a 29er, would like a dropper post (that isn't going to break) and I thought tubeless was more hassle than its worth. I also like bright colours, but like NW said, when thats built up it will look shit.

Shocking I know, but some people actually have different opinions.

We just call you tasteless.

Needs building with all black kit.

Or, just go mad: multicoloured spokes and nipples, with mismatched rim and hubs; clashing saddle, grips, stem, etc. Like someone ate a pack of highlighter pens and then puked on a rainbow unicorn dressed by a colour blind Gok Wan.

Wouldn't be offended, nor vomit. I would only be laughing that someone actually bought one.

So if I wanted one of those whippets and I wanted to use my Truvativ Stylo chainset how would I go about it. I'm only running a single ring so the angle grinder would take care of the fouling issues with the bottom bracket shell but how would I get it to work with the BB92.

Just seen this. I've got a C456, in black.

I think I would be afraid to take it out of the garage if I had one of those!!

Hum, not sure on the colour, would have to see one built before making my mind up.
Someone said cheap internet? If cheap rides like a C456, then I'm happy to have saved a few quid and have a massive grin after every ride 😀

Not too keen on the Whippet, but the RT57 looks stunning in that colour scheme. Also would help you be seen on the road. Wish I had the money for a road bike lying around...

Nothing wrong with clashing colours! Besides, most people play it fairly safe, like at home, with magnolia walls.

How many people have really examined colour theory here? Complementary colours don't mean the colours necessarily compliment one another, rather two complementaries contain a full complement of primaries. Red and green can look awful, or it can make a Matisse painting sing! Red, green, white and yellow may sound silly, but it can make a Lancia Italia sting!
