Awesome saddle!!

[BikeBailing]

Damn, how long did it take for your stuff to arrive? I've been waiting for ever! I ordered everything at the end of last month from On-one. I got the reference numbers and check on the TNT site and my two packages have been at our customs since the 3rd and 9th of this month! super lame! I want my 456 NOW!

[Thug]

Lookig forward to seeing the complete build.

hehe you guys are classic, all done! holy crap and it rides like a dream tried to take some pics but they dont come out that well. Will take some tomorrow morning, before and after the ride fosho! Its a bit heavy, but i expect that 12.4kg mostly the fork and wheel contributing to that figure.

I got my bits from On-One in about a week and a half en CRC in 4 days. I would give the IMS people a call and give them your tracking number, or phone SAPO call center and find out if you have an SA tracking number yet to match your TNT one.

Thanks, will give it a try! Awesome, excited to see your bike

Ok as promised some pics! Ill cut the steerer shorter as soon as i have my riding position dialed, pretty close will see how it feels on a longer ride tomorrow

 

Before first ride at NF:

 

 

After first ride:

 

 

 

After wash:

 

 

 

 

 

I like the detail on-one put into their components, their seatpost shares the same logo:

 

 

 

Little hard to capture on camera but the pearl paint job looks awesome!

 

 

 

The 19.5" frame turned out to be a very nice fit, the geometry is fantastic and the bike is incredibly agile. Climbs and descends like a demon, i am totally in love with this bike, the SS experience was strange at first, after getting it in your head that you cant shift and this gear is what you got the ride became an absolute pleasure.

 

Not having to worry about what gear you are in on the single track is really nice and you are left to just enjoy the ride and trail. On the climbs i quickly learned that momentum is your friend and that keeping your speed and RPM up makes the climbs much easier (cardio restrictions taken into account ) you end up flying uphills with some interesting moans and comments coming from our geared counterparts as you pass them hehe. I have a funny feeling my Scott will be gathering lots of dust in the garage

 

I would like to thank everybody for their advice and input around getting this bike off the ground

 

Honorable mention - divernick who had to endure my incessant questioning over the phone and via PM/SMS, you got a taste of my OCD there and to him and his better half for getting my interest going on the SS front i am really enjoying it!

[Cav']

Ended up looking nice

[Stretched@Birth]

Nice, many happy miles!

[divernick]

Congrats on the bike bud, it goes nice! Might have to save for something similar! (rigid though, of course)

[DR ◣◢]

Looks a lot better in person.

 

Nicely done!

[hdp_gmx]

Thanks guys! Yeah, it does look alot nicer with the naked eye, for some reason the camera does not capture the contrasting colors that nicely

 

29er is the way to go Nick

[RockCoach]

Looking good dude.

 

The only thing I would change would be red spacers on the steerer. But it will look better after the steerer cut anyway.

 

Congrats and happy riding.

[Hairy]

Congrats ..... the ride on these bike have to be experienced first hand to be appreciated.

 

You will also find on tech ST that you will become faster too as you can't slow down too much and loose the momentum that you came in with ....

 

I hope she gives you hours of fun!

[hdp_gmx]

Thanks guys!

 

@ slick - Yip, that is what i wanted to do but could only find the white ones quickly, ill order some red ones from CWC

@ Hairy - It is awesome, i am already much quicker up hills plus the single track due to the ride and forget nature of the single speed, i am really enjoying it!
