Broke my second On-One frame within 1 year today. Top tube with a dent in it so it's unridable. :cry:

I'm obviously after a new frame that'll take a fork between 100-120mm, and I came across some Cove Handjob frames on CRC.

Anyone got any views on a good old Handjob? I'm going to need to finance the new frame.

    Are you sure it is unridable? Some dents are ok.

    Went OTB at Kielder forest on the rock steps, and as it came down it hit a rock. :(

    your right that is a dent, fire a quick email off to on one and see what they say, as its a steel frame you should be ok as long as there are no cracks but you ideally need to see the interior of the tubing as well which is going to be very difficult

    Doesn't sound like a problem with the Inbreds as such, the Handjob will do exactly the same if you launch it onto rocks and hit them around that area.

    Alomst any bike will do that if it has an argument with a rock.

    I have seen some DH bikes come worse off than that when slammed into rocks so probably just get another Inbred if you like it and it isn't a bad price even with another price increase

    At least if you get the same frame you know everything will swap and no extra expense, change the frame and get caught out by silly's (cables/hoses/seatpost/clmaps etc) hich can soon add 50% to the cost of the reframe.
