On One Fat Bike Frame

[scottybinwv]

So the dual top tube is stiffer than a single tube? It could be an additional place to strap on gear like fishy poles or IK paddles.

short axle to crown while we're at it

[Guitar Ted]

It would seem foolish not to.

Yes!

This bike will be one I must have as well.

Now........about that single legged suspension fork thingy you brought up earlier....

[jncarpenter]

This thing looks great, and I would so want one....if I didn't have a frame about to be sent off to powder

[byknuts]

any any ANY chance that one of the swop-out options will allow for 135mil width IGH?

They may not offer this one in BLACK anyway.

Color is still up in the air!

I thought you would like it! Remember all the questions I asked on RM?

[FLA Grizzly]

I just posted in the fatback size thread asking if the fatback is the best tool for Florida or do you all think this one will be better. Once again it will never see snow, Thank you all

Should be stiff laterally. Might (might) have some vertical give. I like the look and it should make it visually less bulky.

Is this trendsetter for future not-just-for-snow fat-fun-bikes? Sign me up. The head angle may not be ideal for snow/sand but there's no shortage of other frame choices for that purpose. For general trail riding, it's fine... plus, the big headtube and 29"er fork length makes it pretty versatile. The low twin toptube looks very useful... begs for a matching above/below pack.

Just make sure there's plenty of mounts for bottles/accessories and clearance for Moonlander rubberz!

Just wait 'til you see what's cooking

If folks think the geometry for yours isn't ideal for snow...they're really gonna love mine!

I'm ready to see your 3.0!

Sandman's designs are for the most part all centered around that concept (not just for snow).

Not seein' to many Sandman's making it state-side yet though... unless your flying over and bringing it back yourself. Any news on they're German Answer Fat Fork project?

[Enel]

Like.

[Futon River Crossing]

This will compliment my 1/2 fat Jones nicely - sign me up!

How about a carbon truss fork - just to be different LOL.

You are right- I think there are only two over here so far. I was more mentioning that the On-One frame isn't the first to be designed with more than snow and sand in mind. For what it's worth, shipping my Sandman over here cost only 60 euro, and for some reason I wasn't charged any customs duty. But, the exchange rate is not in our favor right now, so unfortunately us Americans will to pay a premium for any Sandman products.
Haven't heard much on the German A forks lately, but it sounds as if they have held up with zero issues so far. When I last spoke to Conrad they were still working on coming up with a reliable tool-less wheel removal system, and deciding what to do about hubs (custom wide hub, or provide brake and axle spacers to use standard 20 mm thru hubs).
Sorry for the derail- I really like the looks of the On-One- particularly the dual top tubes.

[shaggyjohn]

It's built now. Fairly random parts and broken brakes but the first ride was good. Second ride was some bloke I met at the pub. He says its "amazing".

31lb as it stands. Flat-Top 80mms, Larrys, 30t chainring, 11-34 cassette, Sunline 762mm bars.

[jncarpenter]

It needs a pair of Nates
Looks great!

[shaggyjohn]

Nates look great. Want to try the BFL as well, I'm going to see about getting some.

[scottybinwv]

interesting looking fork

[nitrousjunky]

Looking sweet!!!

Fork clearance is not quite as much as I wanted. May need to reduce the angle of the struts.

I am liking the tire clearance I am seeing.
