Midge, I didn't want to be a sheep, but I've always wanted a carbon MTB. Never going to be able to afford a FS version so HT it is and I have been really missing having an HT anyway. For what you pay you just cannot beat On One's 456 carbon evo frame - I suppose there is a point to what I am saying, in that there is a reason why everybody is getting one, much the same as why there are so many Mega owners on here too. Anyway, I bit the bullet yesterday and decided to join the crowd, so went up to Sheffield for a test ride. Here's a picture of me and the lad who took me around for the test ride, have to say I was really impressed. Nice lad, works at the local takeaway part time too, he was saying.

Definitely caught your best side in the pic.
I see your point and if I could afford a mega I would build one of them instead, but I cant.

Yeah I did, I gave it a few days and the rawness of the frame grew on me, I was expecting a full matt paint Finnish so I thought it was faulty, just looking at bits and bobs what I want to build it with

Will, that's starting to look like a very capable HT. Very tasty already.

Hmmm out of stock of the black frame until 20/03/2015. I might have a rethink - again! Love the orange and black but with Will and Jay having the same - it ain't happening! we'd look like a 'special' outing if we all went riding together!

Not a chance mate if they tell me they have stopped doing the black and I can only have the black and orange, I wouldn't have one. It's bad enough you taking the piss out of my riding, let alone anything else! I'm in no rush, won't get the C2W voucher until start of March anyway, so I'll see. I'm deffo not getting the 45650B steel though, seat post wrong size. I'll shut up now anyway - I'm hijacking Will's build thread - looking forward to seeing how this ends up.
