A- would ride again, if only the track-ends weren't angled up. That's just me though...

It's beautiful and I hope it's named after a spy numbers station (which is named after the song they play as their attention sign on) and their prototype looks 64cm ish. I'm sold. This bike may make me consider paying retail price for a new frame.

It's kind of a niche market, which is what the company is into. I'm half and half when it comes to lugs.

I really love the company for some reason. It's an offshoot of planet X and everyone seems so laid back and into what they do.

maybe it's just me, but does the gold outlining on the lugs look really sloppy to anyone else? Like used one of those gold paint pens on a rattlecanned crappy old schwinn gaspipe conversion sloppy?

That's true, no use wasting silver I guess. I retract my previous emoticon.

The lugs and paint are super extra hot. I don't dig the top mounted cable guides and I wish it had fender eyelets like an old school path frame. I hope they don't ruin it with fugly decals.

Nothing is wrong with brass braze. It's still used for navy submarines. 90% of the track bikes on this forum (even tigged frames) have brass brazed track ends on them.
Plus, this frame is probably going to be pretty damn cheap (relative to say, a rivnedell).

Wow, those lugs are gorgeous.
Where'd you find it? Is there another one in existence? If so, is there one available for purchase???

It's a prototype for On-One bikes. You know, the company that makes the wacky bars?
I just came across it while I was buying one of their mountain bikes.
It's not in production yet, but shoot them an Email and let them know you're interested.

I know, brass is great, I'm just kidding mostly. Silver is only better because of its lower melting temp. (less chance of overheating tubes) and ease of transfer throughout the lug.

It looks like a nice frame, and will hopefully just get nicer.

long shen. they really are just some cheap, inferior pieces of poo-metal made by slaves in the orient; buy a custom american frame if you want something good

Thanks golden graham, been looking for a new signature.

Frame looks nice, I'm more of a fan of the nicely carved lugs than the english 'make it look more like a picture frame already' style.

Also

Lugs are for thugs!

Lugs not drugs!

"Tubing on these samples is DN6, though we have a vast array to pick from for production including 953!" (emphasis added)

a lugged 953 fixed gear road frame, brazed in taiwan, sold under the on-one moniker? hmmm...

I'd buy one if it was in my price range and I don't give a **** if one of my distant relatives in Taiwan built that **** for a $1.

I love On-One. What's amazing is that when you e-mail them with a question, it's usually Brant, the owner that gets back to you. I love my Inbred MTB.. one of the best MTB frames I've owned.

Quite a departure for On One. That thing is gorgeous, but maybe just because the lugs are sexy outta the box; not a lot of finish work apparent. I'd like to see the fork.

If I'm reading right, the frameset will be somewhere north of a grand. Lotta competition at that price. Jackson, Mercian, Jacobs. Hell, a Kalavinka or Yamaguchi or Circle A isn't much more than that. For a cool $1000, no way would I buy that bike, hot lugs or no.

If, however, it's in the range of a Rivendell Bleriot, which I;ve seen for as little as $500, that thing would be right up there on my want list. Bleriots are brazed in TW, have a ton of braze-ons (and thus cost more to make than a basic track frame), hottttt 2-color paint, and I'd trust that bike with my wife's underthings. How Riv manages to sell that thing so reasonably, I'll never know. If they were to smarten up and start producing street fixes with all the trimmings for the same price, I'd sell a kidney to get one.

It's nice to see On One come with a classy frame. IRO/Surly/Soma/bareknuckles are fine, but waaay overpriced for the tigged noname frames that they are.

I love On-one, and this is just another reason. They see a market that hasn't been taken yet, and they go for it.

I think this is going to be the go-to frame for folks who think that the Quikbeam is ridiculously overpriced, and that an IRO is too plain. Hell, if they go 953, $1000 for a frame will be a bargain, and will be (AFAIK) the only production 953 frame out there.

?? What about the 100's of custom builders that work with lugs, and probably charge about the same, some less even, than what On One will have to charge for this bike?

You can color me quite surprised if this frame/fork retails for less than $1000.
