My new bike in 4 months - On One 456 Mountain bike!!

Looks like a very nice bike - isn't that better than your hubbies? What's he going to say about that - or haven't you told him yet?!?!

I assume this is the one:-

Just looking at it again, it's quite long travel, probably a 5" or 6" and more of a big hitter than a lightweight nimble cross country bike. Is that what your after?

If I had to choose one do-it-all hardtail MTB to ride everywhere the reviews and write-ups of the 456 incarnations suggest it is the family to go for.

From the Appollo to thst bike, dont mess about do ya!

The difference will be astounding.

thats the one ! in grey and black dont like the red one.

red one is faster...

how come?

red ones are alway faster than black

of course, white is the quickest of all

Geometry is set up for "up to 160mm fork". A mate of mine has a 456 carbon with a 140 on. It's very, very light and I think it's very very nice. He hates it 'cos it creaks.

I may even make a bid for the frame.

Bike looks lovely, but don't save for too long 'cos they don't have many left in stock. Happy shopping, nothing beats buying a new bike

As on-one say, what ever fork you put on it the geometry is the same when it has bottomed out! Harsh mistress logic.

it will be like chalk and very exclusive cheese - it will beso much better.

btw wherre is that quarry?

looks good!

full carbon material?!

oh yes!

Lee Quarry. Pennines, on the border between Lancashire and Calderdale. Bacup is probably the nearest lump of what passes for civilisation.

There's an On-one £1499 Carbon hardtail review in April's Mountain Biking UK magazine.
Can't remember the model, but can't be many that match the criteria of Carbon/hardtail/£1499 from one manufacturer? Might be worth a read?

Spanner in the works, and its youre cash n all that... But arent you overbuying? I mean, a full carbon xc bike. Why not train up on a decent metal hardtail for half the price, upgrade if you want to later with the spare cash. From your video it looks like itd be the equivalent of me buying a ferrari having just passed my driving test.

Stu

nah ! I know where you are coming from, but I getting it soon.

Let me just qualify I didn't mean your clip wasn't cool... was just trying to save you a bit of money!! But enjoy - it looks like a corking bike
