Good afternoon

I’m pleased to inform that I’ve just finished my On One 456 Evo 2 assembly with the following:

Frame: On-One 456 Evo2 Frame / 18 Inch / Hot Smoked Paprika
Fork: Fox Vanilla 130 RL / 1 1/8 Inch / 26 Inch with QR Axle (2005 model)
Front Derailleur: SLX / 2x10 / 34.9mm Clamp / High Clamp
Rear Derailleur: SLX / 10 Speed / Long Cage
Shifters: SLX
Chainset: SLX
Crank length: 170mm
Chainrings: 38-24T
Bottom Bracket: Shimano SLX
Cassette: SLX 10-speed 11-36T
Chain: SLX
Front Brake: SHIMANO SLX disc brake BR-M675 - Servo Wave - (standard)
Rear Brake: SHIMANO SLX disc brake BR-M675 - Servo Wave - (standard)
Handlebars: El Guapo Ancho B Handlebar, 760mm, 31.8mm Clamp
Grips: On-One Bob On Lock-On Grips / Black
Stem: On-One Hot Box Stem / 60mm / Polished Black / 7 degrees / 31.8mm Clamp
Headset: On-One Smoothie Regular Headset / 1 1/8 inch / Black / External
Wheels: Sun Ringlé DS2-XC 26” QR
Front Tyre: IRC Claw Comp
Rear Tyre: Maxxis Advantage
Saddle: On-One Bignose Evo Saddle / CroMo Rail
Seatpost: On-One Twelfty MTB Seatpost / 30,9mm / Black / 400mm
Seat Clamp: On-One TECH Series CNC Quick Release Seatclamp / 34.9 mm / Black
Pedals: On Off
Weight: 13,25kg (29,21lbs for the metrically challenged)

Had my first ride this weekend and despite not being familiar with the bike the thing that impressed me more was how confidant inspiring and playful the bike behaved. The assembly turned out a bit on the heavy side, but being used to a 14,5kg Mondraker Foxy it actually felt like a feather!

For all of you out there, forget all conventions and try something like a long travel hardtail… just for fun!

I already posted my bike in the "Aggressive Hardtail" thread, but decided to share it with the rest of the forum users.


Cheers

PS: Sorry for the low quality picture

    Solid. What the difference between vanilla rl and float rl by the way

    Fox Vanilla uses a spring while Float uses air as spring element.
    Never tried a Float myself but having used (and sometimes abused) this Vanilla since 2005 I can say it's rock solid and reliable. Being a spring suspension has its downsides though, its tunability is limited and will require a new spring if you want something different.

    Hello

    Just got my 456 upgraded with some new shinny parts and others from an honourable donor:

    Frame: On-One 456 Evo2 Frame / 18 Inch / Hot Smoked Paprika
    Fork: Rock Shox Revelation 150mm RCT 3 Dual Air / 1 1/8 Inch / 26 Inch with 15mm Axle
    Front Derailleur: SLX / 2x10 / 34.9mm Clamp / High Clamp
    Rear Derailleur: SLX / 10 Speed / Long Cage
    Shifters: SLX
    Chainset: SLX
    Crank length: 170mm
    Chainrings: 38-24T
    Bottom Bracket: Shimano SLX
    Cassette: SLX 10-speed 11-36T
    Chain: SLX
    Front Brake: SHIMANO SLX disc brake BR-M675 - Servo Wave - (standard)
    Rear Brake: SHIMANO SLX disc brake BR-M675 - Servo Wave - (standard)
    Handlebars: El Guapo Ancho B Handlebar, 760mm, 31.8mm Clamp
    Grips: On-One Bob On Lock-On Grips / Black
    Stem: On-One Hot Box Stem / 60mm / Polished Black / 7 degrees / 31.8mm Clamp
    Headset: On-One Smoothie Regular Headset / 1 1/8 inch / Black / External
    Wheels and Tyres: Mavic Crossroc WTS
    Saddle: On-One Bignose Evo Saddle / CroMo Rail
    Seatpost: Rock Shox Reverb 125mm / 30,9mm / Black / 380mm
    Seat Clamp: On-One TECH Series CNC Quick Release Seatclamp / 34.9 mm / Black
    Pedals: On Off
    Weight: N/A yet...

    The front suspension really changed the bike's character to a somewhat more "masculine" handling. The Dual Air fork is a nice detail in prolonged climbs and the slackening effect of a longer fork is very noticeable during descents.
    Best bike I’ve ever had!!! :D

    PS: Sorry for the crappy picture... and yes, she's very dusty.
