TYGA Posted May 2, 2012 Share If you look at the sizing chart on the On One website you'll see that there is only an 8mm difference in effective top tube length between the L and XL, however the seat tube is 38mm longer on the XL....biggest difference is thus standover height rather than reach. If you have a longer torso in relation to leg length I'd go for the Large...but that's just me! Remember to order a frame with horizontal or sliding vertical rather than normal vertical dropouts so you can get your chain tension sorted without worrying about a tensioner.

hdp_gmx Posted May 2, 2012 Share i calculated a 2.7 cm difference: Effective Top Tube (in) 23 23.7 24.4 25.2 I am sure the L will be fine if you buddy is riding a 18" Edited May 2, 2012 by hdp_gmx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdp_gmx Posted May 2, 2012 Share That is a bit steep, but not a bad price for a Ti frame. Looking good XTC, cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtbDobby Posted May 2, 2012 Share excuse my ignorance and hijack - but what is the fuss about single speed. I ride road and mtb...done all the major road races and most mtb races and will be doing my second epic next year..... to me a SS would will imply an intense workout depending on gearing so my question/s as to why applies on all front? thanks in advance :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYGA Posted May 3, 2012 Share Nice work! May i suggest that you look at the el Guapo handlebars on their site? 810mm of awesomeness. At the price I reckon it's worth getting a set and if you don't like them I'll take them off your hands. Oh ja and Oury grips at 5 quid a pair...simply the best grips you'll ever use...well worth chucking a few into your shopping basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
