On One Fat Bike Frame

[Guitar Ted]

Brant Richards is back at On One and today he posted these images to his blog: » It was like that when I got here #oosnowbike Shed Fire : Designing for On-One, Titus and Planet X from Calderdale.

Obviously not Brant's design, but we'll see what becomes of it.

[cozz]

thats nice

Alu right ?

wonder what weight it is

I like the split top tube

[Guitar Ted]

Aluminum, yes.

Can't really see them, but it hints at having the swap outs. This would allow someone to get a single speed set up, and then trade out the drop outs for a geared set up when wanted.

Obviously we'll have to wait for more details, but I like the styling, and frame bags should work well with this.

[Dr Feelygood !]

Mmmmmm...... Shiney

Just needs a truss fork .....

[scottybinwv]

need better pics, 170 rear?

[Stuey]

The head set looks large to me -1.5" ?

[Dr Feelygood !]

Large for internal bearings (says so on Brants site).

I could go for this big time in raw or polished........just needs a TRUSS fork

[Drew Diller]

I have a 1.5" head tube on my diy frame, and a Cane Creek ZS44 headset was relatively cheap, and works okay. Very future proof, you could run forks with tapered steer tubes.

Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner!

Man I'm definitely interested in more details. Brant???? Shiggy???

[bighit]

Mmmmm I could make something cool out of it.

[brant]

It's Shiggy's design. There are two of them. Headtube is 44mm. Doesn't really need to be, but hey, why not, it fits the downtube nicely and maybe we can make some mad singlesided fork like I keep wanting to make. Long way to go yet.

ps: I did Iditabike in '96 (14th) and '97(6th), but did it on Snowcats and Conti 2.2in tyres.

Just keep going

very nice - they gonna be around before this winter?

hope so

[perttime]

The top tube / chain stay thing suggests vertical compliance but how does that match with using aluminum?

Twin top tubes make me worry about the width and hitting my knees on them. I've never ridden a bike with twin top tubes, so my worry could be totally groundless.

[cozz]

looks like my size too - argh

and made worse by the fact Im only 25 miles away

and that its not for sale !

Fatbikes have 100mm wide bbshells with 148mm wide bottom brackets.......your knees are safe but your wallet is not

No.

Infact Shiggy wants to deflect the issue that we're "late" for this year (but in time for next) by calling it a "Rock Crawler". I wonder what a bike with a slack head angle and a 6in suspension fork would be like with a 4in rear tyre (I'd just take off, right?).

Lots of fun, no doubt.

[EccentricRich]

I like that, well done! Hurry up and get it to the market place, I've got money waiting!

Can you tell us what axle to crown length it is designed off of?

This frame may have just answer a lot of debate for me!

[JAGI410]

It's absolutely stunning. Good job Shiggy! I'm excited to see it all built up.

Currently is 470mm a/c with a 71deg head angle. This may change. I certainly want to mess around with head angles a bit.

Oh sweet, I was so hoping my Enabler fork would work well with it.

Now please tell me it's a symmetrical design?????

Any hints to chainstay length?

[Velobike]

About the only thing different I'd want on that is an EBB, and that's simply because it allows you to make adjustments to the chainline at the front.

Symmetrical, 170mm (it says on the drawing), 445mm chainstays.

But it's just these two first samples. Anything could change. And might/probably will.

[scottybinwv]

A slacker head angle please, more like 68. The fork can be 2-3" of travel. Maybe a soft tail?
