On-One Pickenflick - Ymmy Ti

Reduced to £1,500 on the PX website the other week, so figured......... why not? Always fancied a Ti bike!
Built up with SRAM Rival HRD 22. Not had SRAM road stuff before, and so far I'm a big fan of double tap. Although I do miss block shifting like you get on Campy gear.
Brakes work well. I'm used to discs from MTBs, but the improvement in performance when used on a road(ish) bike is significant!
Wheels are Fulcrum racing sport. Pretty basic but seem quite well put together. Tyres are WTB Cross Boss 35mm.
I'll be attempting to mount the tyres tubeless soon. Don't see any reason why it wont work. Rims seem tubeless ready, and the tyres are definitely tubeless ready.
Frame seems really well made. Very tidy welds and nice tube profiles.
Going to get a spare set of wheels for the road eventually. For now though I'm enjoying the freedom to do a bit of both when I go out. Really opens up the options when you're out on a (solo) ride.
It came in the biggest box I've ever seen. Bike was completely assembled, just rolled it out the box and turned the bars and fitted the pedals. Boom! Done!
Clearance is absolutely insane. 35mm tyres fitted and STILL bags of room!
Delivery was pretty quick. Took about a week from placing the order.
So...... yeh, that's about it.

Nice bike, I tried my best to buy one but PlanetX confused me re sizing then contradicted themselves .0

Couple of rides in now. Stem is too long, so going to order another tonight.
Other than that, I'm very happy0 -
I really want one of these. Looks great. So, what size did you go for? Also, possibly a bit soon for the extra wheels but someone has posted that you can currently pick up some Kinesis CXDisc V3 wheels for a touch over £200 from Ribble using their extra 10% deal today 8)Titus Silk Road Ti rigid 29er - Scott Solace 10 disc - Kinesis Crosslight Pro6 disc - Scott CR1 SL - Pinnacle Arkose X 650b - Pinnacle Arkose singlespeed - Specialized Singlecross...& an Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray 4 string...0

Cheers. Went for a Large based on the sizing guide on the site and previous bikes I've had from On-one. Frame is perfect but it comes with a 110mm stem as standard which in hindsight is WAAAY too long.
I'd actually be very happy with something like the Kinesis wheels. I've got their IV wheels on my MTB and they've been absolutely spot-on. You're right though, bit soon for me to be buying more stuff already0 -
Great looking bike and looks tremendous value. Disappointed not to see a wallaby in the photos though.0

Ha, I'll head down Ballaugh at the weekend and track one down just for you.0 -
Very nice, great value. Reminds me of my Kinesis Tripster0
