On One Ti Inbred Singlespeed Rigid
I bought this frame off a friend a few years back and ran it with gears. When I started to build another geared bike I decided to run this singlespeed. After riding it with suspension for a while, I decided to put some rigid forks on. The only way I would part with this frame is if I found another titanium frame that is singlespeed specific. This bike is my winter bike really, although I do get it out now and then at other times of the year.
I call my Mega my play bike. This bike is my first and only full-suspension bike and I love it. The head angle took some getting used to but, after riding the bike all summer, It's going to be difficult to ride anything else. The bike does everything and somehow, does it all superbly. It climbs like a goat on steroids and fly's downhill. It fills you with confidence and encourages you to push that little bit harder. Thankfully, it's also a very forgiving bike that won't punish you for making a mistake. It's mainly used for cross-country and trail centres but I have recently started jumping the bike which has made me love it even more.
This is my latest build. I've not even ridden it yet. After selling my last hardtail, I started to miss it. I wanted a new hardtail and after looking at loads of frames, settled on the 456. Partly because I'm an On One fanboy but also because the hardtail I sold was also a 456 but a titanium version and an early one at that. With this being a carbon frame, building a super light weight bike was an option but I decided to build it as a 'hardcore hardtail' instead. It still weighs less than a bag of Wotsits but the parts I used were not selected because of their weight. In it's finished form, I'm over the moon with it's look. I bought parts that I wanted instead of the parts I could afford. Hence why it took a while to complete. I'll be taking it for a few rides over the next few days, the first ride will be for final set-up. Lever & shifter position, saddle height, air in suspension etc.. After that, I'll be throwing down a fair few natural trails to see what it's capable of... Fingers crossed I'll be as happy with how it rides as I am with how it looks.
Rather than put up the spec of each bike, just ask if you want info on any of the parts etc.
Thanks for looking and I hope I din't bore you too much.
