    The fork arch clearance looks quite tight, I'd be checking to see if it's a 26 or 27.5 fork!

    Still this - even more after seeing that pic.

    Anyone seen this chainstay design before? Hopefully it will hold up

    Your's does look to hve more clearance the the one in the other picture.

    The chain stay looks like a bodge.

    Yeah it does

    I wonder if the production one will look like that.

    On one said it will be in production in June

    The chainstay is the 'three finger bridge' (I believe), designed to increase clearance. Seen on Ragleys, but now Brant is back at OnOne of course.

    Certainly increases clearance. Not very elegant though.

    Can't see any load induced bending being equal!

    Heath Robinson comes to mind. Without the style or humour.

    You can see the guy welding up the stays and saying "Bugger, where's the angle grinder?"

    The chainstay doesn't look very elegant but it's also used on Ragley bikes and I've never heard anything about that.
    The plate section on the chainstay seems thick enough and any bending movement is only relevant at the tip of the chainstay and not near the welding so it should hold up. I believe production bikes can be made with better details.
    Nevertheless... how does the Bike feels like?
    I just hope the frame is compatible with 26" wheels using different dropouts.
    Can you please share more pictures?

    On one generally have high bbs, yo can run a 45650b with 26'' and still get a relatively high bb, in comparisson a bird zero am has a bb drop of 48mm while the on one 45650b only 24mm, the reason for that is because the frames suppose to work with a 100mm to 150mm travel forks.

    paul1987, It would be great if you take the tape and measure some vital distances, bb height, horizontal TT, handle bar height, reach although you'll need some help with that, just to get an idea what's like to a 456.

    Sorry for late reply

    Whats the best way to measure it? is there a diagram I can go by?

    Went to the lake district last weekend and spent half a day up the helvellyn hills

    Yeah rides really good specially going downhill in the rough stuff. Picks up speed well and rolls fast

    Handles well

    Breaks and gearing is spot on

    I've always had aluminium hardtails and cant believe how different it is with a steel frame, much smoother and quieter when going over rocky stuff

    Have uploaded a couple of videos on youtube search on one dee dar. This was a very steep hill going down so breaks were on most of the way
