I did manage to control spending there and got the brand-x axle, it'll do the job.....or snap but I'm hoping it'll do the job
No such luck for me. I can make a start but won't be able to finish it until the new wheels arrive in January (bloody shimano with their restrictions)
Ah still waiting for frames to arive, cant wait to see the builds and ride reports as maybe the budget option frame im looking for!
Keep us posted with ride reports!
Says my frame is being picked on website 😄

Me too
Mine out for delivery tomorrow whoop
How can you tell it's out for delivery? I have zero information on mine.
Have had an email that delivery is tomorrow with DPD & on Planet X website my order is shipped
Mine's still in picking. Guess it'll likely arrive Monday now if I'm lucky.
Post some photos @transition
I haven't seen any emails from them after the one confirming what size I wanted. What sizes did you order? Mine was an XL.
I went for a large, wasn’t sure my forks were originally long enough for XL headtube plus 1300mm wheelbase is long, although my Ripley V4 is XL still shorter than the Hello Dave
Mine is showing as "order held whilst awaiting stock". Hopefully they've just not sorted them all yet and its not a massive balls up 🤔
Went for XL, although my order says "Large 430mm". Kind of wish I'd gone for Large as I think it's going to be rather boat-like.
Frame just arrived nice frame fitted drop outs & brand X axle although seems bit long the axle
Frame is heavy, more than my XL ripley V4 frame & no seat clamp so will pinch one from Smuggler for now
Does the XL keep the same lines? Often XL's have a compromised top-tube to seat-stay angle
any pic's yet?

Not sure about the XL as mine is a large. Will try & post some pics up Sunday when start the build if can get Flickr to work 😂
How tall are you transition1 with you going with the large?
6ft with a long torso, my smuggler was an XL with 495 seat tube & 483mm reach the Ripley is 500 reach with 470 seat tube ran them both with 170mm reverb slammed. Figured wanted something bit more throw about, 430 seat tube & 480 reach plus if sell it would be easier to sell on 😂
Yeah im 6ft and went for a large hopefully itll be ok.
@garry87w Do you have a link to the brand-x axle you bought?
Thanks

I got the last one on the list, 148-180-20-M12-P1.75 should fit (I think)
Talked to Px and they said the frames are coming with an axle?
Mine didn’t come with axle or seat post clamp
Ah, ok. You got the size mentioned above?
How are the builds going? Disappointed no pics yet!
Mine's arriving today despite originally showing Monday 🙂 Trouble is no axle so won't be able to ride 🙁 No bike shops stock axles due to the myriad of standards. Maybe one of my 142's will be just about enough to get the build finished as long as I don't actually put any weight on it.
Mine arrived today also, no dropout or axle tho and that axle I bought doesn't fit 🤦♂️, anybody any idea what one will?
Unfortunately still no building for me as mine arrived with a massively dented headtube 😩. On the live chat to px though, lovely woman called Sharon sorting out a courier to pick this fu**ed one up and new one will be delivered shortly
Mine had tiny mark on front of head tube, I got the same rear axle & it should fit not put rear wheel on yet as need to add the spacers to spec from 142 to 148 but then think axle will work just fine. I found my drop outs in bottom of box ok.
I've had to defer my delivery date but so far seems poor that frames are being received with defects.
QC, poor packaging or substandard courier... Doesn't bode well...
Fingers crossed as my 30 days return policy has passed on most my parts previously ordered?!
Double top our kid.
Looks good!! Happen to k ow what length seat tube it will accept?

It's completely straight so I think the bb is your limit.
What size is that @guandax
Looks spot on that
I'm just starting build on mine and just realised I don't have a seat post clamp. With it being 31.6 what clamp size do I need?
Ta
Lawn looks tired
Yes Guandax, looks mint! A proper angle for the photo to show that HA there!
What size is that @guandax
Hmmm, looks like I've got a large not the XL I was expecting. Wish I'd measured before building 🙁
Almost like buying an actual Sick! bike this... well, the ones that turned up anyway.
Has anyone got a link to an axle that fits the frame preferably CRC as I've got some other bits I need it's just the axle left.
Thanks
The link that Garry put up for the Brand-X Bolt Thru Axle
Black - 12mm 148/180/20/M12*P1.75
Mine fitted just fine to the Hello Dave frame
Oh nice Guandax, have you managed to get out and give it a good ragging? 😁

Going to see if there's any chance of swapping out for an XL before riding it in anger.
Apparently not. PX are "Sorry to the inconvenience". It's a refund or keep it 🙁
Ah that’s a bit naff, well I hope you get on ok with it or else sell on and get a Marino eh 😉
Didn't they all sell out really quickly, so if they haven't got any XLs in stock they wouldn't be able to exchange. Looks great in the pics!
Building mine at the moment, it's definitely a bit old-school on-one in some of the finishing. Paint overspray on Headtube and some masking left in - Headtube also outside the box on delivery but it's the right size and not dented so y'know not utterly shocking. Thing is it's a bit like the old 456 when that came out, it was cheap so you take those minor things into account when you're buying it so nothing too untoward so far.

Did you order a L? your previous post reads like they sent you the wrong size?
It's complicated. They originally sold them as small, medium and large. I ordered Large. They then called and said they should have been Medium, Large and XL. I confirmed I wanted XL as I'm 6' 2" tall. Apparently the order was then amended to XL, but 9 mins later changed back to L.
Ah that is more annoying, apologies I misunderstood. I'm really tempted by one of these or a big dog but all the ordering woes do put me off.
I bought one of the new scandal frames and one of these. I've stripped the scandal down to build this, just placing it together it seems like it's a very short bike due to the seat angle compared to the scandal.
I'm a shade under 6ft and I thought the scandal was short with a 50mm stem.
Both the scandal and this are large just not sure now on whether this is going to be too short for me.
Anyone similar height to me on a large hello Dave had chance to ride theirs yet? Not sure on whether I'm going to keep this or not.
It's definitely an unusual shape. I rode mine this afternoon and it handled nicely. Pretty sure the XL would fit me better.
Poor image but another one for angles / length on an XL. It's not a light bike - 11s mix of x01 and XT with carbon rims, hope hubs so nothing stupid-light or massively heavy and it's weighing in at 14.4kg
It's not blessed in the looks department is it.
Christ that's long - how does it manage hump back bridges?!
Looks awesome, as a Down-hill hardtail Sledge.
I for one really like its lines, which is saying something for an on-one.
Those look epic.
Ah wow good to see a XL gardron, looks allot of fun just got to get it nice and muddy now eh! That rear tyre should be be fun too! ;o)
just got my tik tik frame..very good !
good welds,good paint,decals under clearcoat..
no axle enclosed..
the maxle fits fine ...but too much paint in the thread, needed recutting..
3,23 kg in large...
Has anyone got a floor to top of bar height for the XL? Need to know specs such as spacers, travel and bar height as well.
Assuming you mean the XL Hello Dave.... Floor to highest point on the bars on my setup is 104.5cm - that’s with 2020 150mm 42mm offset lyriks, 10mm spacer under the stem, raceface 35x35 stem and nextR 10mm rise bars. Wheels are 30mm ID 29ers with 2.35” schwalbe Hans dampf. Headset is a superstar
Can anyone confirm the thread length required on the axle, 10 or 20mm??
20mm
Another damaged in transit. It looks like the frame is too big for the box. Head tube dinged at the top.
🙁 bad luck
Another frame arrived damaged here, a D shaped headtube out of the box. No replacement available :thumbs down:
I see the price sick were quoted for, then the cheap rate O-O got these for didn’t quite stretch to cover decent QC or packaging then... at least you’ll get your money back I guess. Could be worse.
Is it all XLs that are arriving dented?
My XL was fully enclosed and nothing damaged in transit. Was expecting the worse but pleasantly surprised... Only niggle was lack of thru axle as read on a social media post by on one that they were being supplied??
Mine is a tiktik but is XL.
The box is clearly too small for the long reach.
It looks like it should be fixable if the right tool exists or by a competent frame builder, the deflection is less than a couple of mm.
Just over 3.2kg naked.
Paint and welds look fine
Two small unfilled holes on the front of the headtube I presume for the sick headbadge
DN6 tubing label made me smile, I thought it was supposed to be better than the (not quite) gas pipe inbred.
I imagine that with the number going back someone is in for a difficult meeting. A bit of thought and they could have prevented this.
They still have some tiktik in XL, it can run 29er and looks like it could be less extreme.
I'd suggest considering one in place of a Hello Dave with cash back
Arguably needs some Brant Brant Brant intervention unless he's fallen out with Dave again
I spoke to On One and said Brant reckoned thE Tiktik will run 29er wheels. They were adamant not. Said the only way the rear would fit is without a tyre. I thought I read it was possible too.

Was it confirmed that the tiktik would take a reasonable size 29 inch tyre?Yes. Chainstay yoke of TikTik is U shaped. Hello dave more C shaped.
29er ok in TikTik but 650 in hello dave not good.
Page 6 of this thread
I'll try a 142 wheel in tomorrow, the tyreless wheel I just popped in looks promising
Either the people on the live chat might not be that clued up on the nuances of a single run new frame, or they've had a few back because they don't fit
So, I've got my TikTik frame. Was told which axle I needed to get -
length 180
thread length 20
thread pitch m12 x 1.75
This doesn't seem to fit. Anyone else with the same problem?
Was told the same on PX online chat for my dave. Haven't fitted yet but earlier posts on this forum suggest it works (Dave, not sure on tiktik)
In what way doesn’t the axle fit. My hello Dave axle is the brand X one 12X148 180 long M12x1.75 thread length 20. It seemed to long until the wheel was fitted in place & am using the 3mm spacers either side of the 12x142 hub.
I guess it’s possible to try & fit the axles the wrong way round
as said before I had the same problem...
axle is fine for the tik tik,
there is just too much paint in the thread on the frame..
its necessary to cut the thread free of paint with a screw tap
after that it fits perfect...
Hi just fitted a Brand X thru axle size
Black - 12mm 148/180/20/M12*P1.75
To my XL Tik Tik and it fits perfectly.
Hi I am running a dtswiss 35mm 27.5 with specialized 27.5x2.6 purgatory in rear and it's a perfect fit. Just enough clearance for mud. I would say that if you are putting a 29er in they it would be too tight
Are those forks on the right way?
Edit, yes
