I'm looking for one... didn't someone a while back post a site that had the geometries listed (so I can try to find the one that fits me the best)??

Any help?

Thanks

How tall are you FF? The sizes are on the on-one site <a href="http://on-one.co.uk/products/ebbinbred.shtml">here</a>.

How tall are you FF?

6 foot - I usually ride a 18.5-19" frame - I like longer top tubes....

Email brant. He doesn't ride and just sits in his torture chamber of an office all day (aka kitchen).

Should email you back in a minute and a half (average).

The only bad thing is that they don't make this frame anymore - I want a disc tabbed EBB Inbred... I thought they were in the process of switching to a different style dropout for the disc Inbreds. Didn't want to waste Brant's time if it's something they no longer carry...

I'm 34" and I ride a 20" so that's probably 18" :)

i too had been eyeing the ebb disc inbred.
what exactly is it they're changing - dropout style, you say? are they going vertical, or what?

I thought they were going with a rear dropout like the new Kona's are using?

Am I off base here?

What length cranks do you run? Funny.

Anyway, I have a 20" EBB Inbred that might be for sale at some point - youngin' pending. Pains me to even think of it (selling a bike that is).

Posted pics a while back under SS category. Sounds like you want/need something smaller but these frames are long and low - not a square build.

I was leaning towards an 18" frame if I had to guess right now... but I'm not instantly in the market either right now - just doing my research so that in a few weeks (or 6-8) I know what I'm looking for... if that's what I still want....

Well I guess it's a long shot but if you're in the UK in the near future I have a 20" Tinbred and an 18" Inbred you could try for fit :)

you know we still have 20in EBB frames (steel ones) Freddie?

The only problem of course is that the dollar is now so ****ed against the pound that our prices are screwy.

Mail me though and we can work something out I am sure.

so I went ahead and bought a Planet X Ridgeback. It really doesn't fit the bill so I am ordering a Spicer. Custom built the way you want it, EBB, whatever you want. The price is almost to good to be true. Give him a call.... spicercycles.com

I already have a custom Ti EBB Disc Spicer - they are nice and Gene is a great guy to work with.... just looking for some variety - I like the Inbred... Brant I think the 20" is just going to be too large... I'll keep saving my money and maybe I'll be able to get a Ti Inbred... no plans on disc the EBB on them right???

Thanks

"Idon't think he'd be very keen.
You see, he's already got one."

Not 100% sure of the quote, sorry just looking to help. I wish I had your problem of adding to a collection of singlespeeds. I really had my heart set on an On-One back in November. I was truly bummed.

No sweat.... (on trying to help).... I only have the one SS for now - but I want another.... key word is want. I'm saving my money but I can't collect it fast enough.... and yes I'm addicted to bikes....

We're going to be replacing the ti ebb frame with a sliding dropout version. It's just we've still got stock of the ti ebb frames in all sizes.

Nothing inherently WRONG with the EBB's by the way, it's just that I like keeping things the same, and the cost of the EBB unit was pushing up the price of the steel frame a lot (proportionally) and also the complications of dealing with Bushnell in the US and our builders in Taiwan was getting fiddly.

I could move to a set-screw design out of Taiwan, but I didn't want to, and the sliding dropout thing looks good, and we can shed some weight too.

Any of that help?

I really want one of the new sliding dropout frames (note want, not need :) but I'm not sure I can justify it.

I like the Inbred...

Thanks
FF

i am so flattered!

sliding drop-outs would be so neato. i like that idea much more than EBBs. looks cleaner, looks likes it'd be cheaper to buy, and...well, that's all that comes to mind right now.

can i change topics real quick to save myself an e-mail to Brant?
- Brant, are there any differences between the PX Knifen forks and the On-One forks? i've got a 400mm Knifen on my Imperial momentarily ( http://webspace.utexas.edu/barriedb/temporary/133_3346.jpg [big pic]) and am just curious.

The on-one forks are around half the weight of the knifens (significantly thinner wall tubing).

The Planet X "Superlight" fork is the same as the on-one Superlight fork. Also, the newer versions of the on-one fork (and the current Superlight PX fork) have forward angled dropouts and reinforced disc mounts and replaceable brake bosses.
