Interested in opinions...is the oneten29 frame design/geometry still relevant? Or does the lack of geometry updates since its release leave the frame outdated and less relevant? Coming from the perspective of considering the bike as a new purchase in 2017/18

[anybody seen george?]

I'd say it depends on the type of riding you'll be doing. If you aim to do XC/Marathons or stage races the geo is perfect!

If you aim for trail riding only with a few enduro focussed trails here and then not so much but still rather capable.
That be my 2c`s.

It has one of the most progressive rear setups on ANY bike I've ridden. I found mine almost impossible to bottom out once it was setup properly.

There might not be any OneTen frames available shortly, I think they have done the final production run.

Correct, Last run available at original price.

And this is the other reason for asking. The original price is tempting in 2017 but while in 2012 the frames geometry was arguably rather progressive, it has now slipped behind a little with all the new standards and design progressions (longer, lower, slacker).

 

In many ways it's a pity the frame will come to an end, but ultimately my curiosity at this point lies in whether the frame is worth pursuing as a new purchase for mostly trail riding around the Cape with the odd long distance ride thrown in.

[Tatt]

Yes it definitely will be worth purchasing.

hmmm

 

still a fav on the Jhb2C. still allot of guys that use it. so should imply it's relevance.

Is it still relevant? It's one of the only bikes you'd see in any numbers at, say, the Cape Epic... And also in numbers at the Enduro gigs. Should tell you something. It may not be that slack, but it's long enough, and it has balls.

[MarcBurger]

Forgive me if it has been mentioned, but what is the "original" oneten frame price?

R16.5k

and it has "BIG" balls.

As mentioned on the previous page, I still love mine. I have tried the new spark and cambers and believe the 110 is still up there. I still fly past all and sundry on downhills, especially when it gets gnarly. With a 130mm fork, short stem and dropper post (so you can get your ass way back), it is seriously incredible what the bike can handle.

 

If money was no object, I would probably try a Stage Max, but bang for buck, the 110 is great. I bought mine for 27k with good wheels and XO cranks. It came with Hans Dampfs (which were tons of fun for enduro riding), but I have since popped on Barzo's for multi-day marathon events. As is, it weighs about 12kgs.

 

To obtain a spark or camber with similar spec and weight, I would have to spend over 60-80k.
