Ok, so not for the first time but something seems to have happened to On-One, URL just redirects to Planet-X now. I was looking forward to some of the things on the upcoming projects page an'all.

Brant, Brant, Bran...

They announced that in October last year. No more On One website, all going on to Planet X. So nothing wrong at all.

I've just ordered a Whippet frame and carbon forks. Got despatch notification less than 24 hours later and it should be with me tomorrow.

Also used their live chat this morning and got a good answer within 10 minutes and placed a further order which has been marked as despatched.

Will see later on in the week if they are as good and smooth as they have been so far.

They're a very mixed bag in my experience either getting the order and timing spot on or taking months to deal with simple issues. They also sent out my inbred frame with insufficient space for the rear axle to slot into the dropout but was nowt a file couldn't fix. I have had many a bargain from them though.

I can't keep up, I thought he was a core part of the future projects. I think they make more interesting stuff with Brant around, it's all looking a bit SportsDirect atm.

No, Planet-X has now gone employee controlled.....so long as the employees do what Dave says.  I read it in an email

The new guy is Mike Sanderson from Calibre so could be interesting to see what direction they go in.

Especially as I'm sure I remember Brant moaning about everyone asking for super niche weird bikes that they then only ever sell 5 of, then making the bootzipper in two different wheel sizes.

it’s all looking a bit SportsDirect atm.

They've always had in-house brands, remember the Tomac debacle? Did he end up buying the rights back to stop them using it on gravel/xc/fat bikes?

Is Brant back in the trouser industry now then or doing more bike stuff elsewhere? On One / Planet X don’t seem to have much in the way of MTB’s at the moment.

I thought Brant was only back at PX while his pants were down.

It was a short term gig so he could trouser some cash. Allegedly

Bed tester?
Checking the inside leg spy cams are on line?
Found the quiet spot on the mezzanine where no one goes for a sneaky lie down?
