I see people claim Spec Endurpoo is the only decent 29'' trailbike while the brits have just released a cheap 29er with very nice geo (17,3'' chainstay that fits 2.4 tires), 35mm drop, 67,5 ha, steep steattube that costs pennies (800GBP for a frame with a DB Air is nuts). X01 build goes for 2500GBP (4100$)

isn't on-one notorious for mis-aligned frames? or am i thinking of another british frame company?

I assume it's a catalog product so if they found a good factory it may not be half bad. Still the project itself is pretty rad.

I assume they have done the design work themselves at On One, thus not a catalog product.
This is not a fact, just what I have understood.

Sandwich already dismissed Codeine as a thing of ancient engineering.

I ride the 456C and it is a great frame. A couple of my friends are happy with theirs, too. Yep, they design the bikes themselves. Their components are pretty good (and very affordable), too.

Probably thinking of Triumph.

a road bike

That's how all of them are called, I mean the specific one. Is it a fixie?

 

[mattmatt86]

What's it called?

Kona Process 111

a road bike

My Road/CX/gravel grinder does have horizontal dropouts, if I slammed the wheel it might be around 430.

 

[Samoto]

Nothing wrong with Brittish products. Cotic is good.

I would recommend Codeine for my friend who is on low budget. it looks nice.

I really like them but I can't get over their ugly graphics. They should seriously hire a new graphic designer/creative director or whoever is responsible.

I wasn't crazy about the paint job either, however it does look better in person. I'm probably going to powdercoat mine anyway.

lol I just said you have to be a tea-drinking brit in order to fit on one. If you're over 5'9" then you probably won't fit on one, unless you want to run a 90mm stem. If you're 5'4", then you can get the reach you want. It is an incredible deal, no denying that.

Both the riders in that video are well over 5'9. I'm 6'1 and Craig Evans is taller than me and is incredibly fast (you may recognise him from Duncan Philpotts Deep Summer slideshow and he just won Expert at the first round of the BDS)

 

[HardtailHack]

Wonder why they did all that fancy machining at the dropout and still went with an IS mount.

I hope they have had them made in a decent factory as they would make a pretty fun bike, nice simple single pivot, good shock and a sensible weight, I know zip about 29er geo so can't comment on that.

 

[marshalolson]

reach is about 20-30mm short for the seatpost length IMO

 

[HardtailHack]

Looks fine for this guy-

so, im 5'11". would i need a large??

i dont know how i missed this thread. but i have never been excited about a niner (like ever), but id buy one of these.. maybe when i get a real job. the video looked like they were havin fun!

 

[Sandwich]

Probably. The reach is 16.8", which is the same as a medium honzo or a medium e29. I'm 5'11" and I ride a large e29 quite comfortably with a 50mm stem. If you don't like a long bike it would be fine. If you want a bike that does well at high speed, slightly longer reaches are better. I really like the way the e29 fits with a 17.5" reach.

 

[blindboxx2334]

thanks for that info.. i appreciate the help. i would be going for a longer bike, seeing as how almost every other bike ive bought has been just a hair under what i was recommended. i like small-er bikes, but i think i'd like to mix it up and try something new this time.


also, to add to the confusion, i think they mixed up the reach and stack on their site.. im not a geo wiz, so can someone confirm?

Are you his seeing eye dog?

 

[Lelandjt]

Cuz 17.3" chainstay is nothing special. I think that's the same as my V10 that feels kinda long. 29er Enduro is like 16.9, that grabbed headlines.

Yeah it looks like j isn't even shown. The numbers appear accurate though.
