Thread: On One 456 EVO (steel frame).

Anyone got time on the On One 456 EVO/Summer Season/etc... steel frame?



I love the feel of steel. Geo looks fun. Price seems good.

Thinking of building up an old school (with new geo) HT AM with an air fork for playing around, when I don't want to bring my really expensive FS AM bike (ie. I wouldn't worry locking it up outdoors around town, after riding the sweet trails around here).

The welded, instead of pierced, seattube/toptube kind of blows, but at under $300 CDN, it seems like a good price.

On One bills this as an AM/FR HT for a 4, 5, or 6 inch fork.

My friend rides a 2011 summer season and I ride a 2010 Ragley blue pig (basically the same bike) and they are both quite indestructible. We both go DHing on our and never had any issues. Hell I have even taken a 10+ foot drop on mine and it was fine.

In terms of how it rides... I dunno it seems fine. I don't know shit about bikes but as far I'm concerned it works just fine from anything ranging from buff singletrack to lift served DH.

Did you pick one up? Any more feedback? Trying to build up a cheap MTB for riding when I don't need my Uzzi and for towing the little one this summer.

I'm in the same boat looking at the On-One Inbred for a 29er HT build. Seems too tempting at $250 shipped.
Any feedback would be awesome.
