On One 456 Evo - horizontal / slot dropout?

[paradicsompaprika]

Hey folks,

Recently I came across an advert which unfortunately no longer available, but anybody ever owned this version? There seems to be no sign / documentation of its existence. Is this legit or custom made? Seller stated it was repainted.

Thanks

exactly my thoughts, but paint can cover some sloppy weld

Not seeing anything that would suggest piss poor build to be fair. Backed up by the fact I've got 2 inbreds that show good workmanship so wouldn't expect anything less.

Yeah, I have a Titus from planetX - super happy with build quality. I only meant if it is custom built frame then who knows what is under the paint. Although I agree it looks great and there is no indication whatsoever. But the question is, is it OEM spec?

whilst I've never seen a sliding drop out 456, the work on those drop's looks impeccable, so I think they are from factory. They did do it on the first 456, just not seen it on an Evo II. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a prototype, as Planet-X have a history of that sort of stuff.

A quick search of t'internet doesn't reveal any Evo (or Evo 2) with the curved brace by the disc rear mount. Added to non-standard decal layout, I reckon it's something custom made or a re-painted prototype.

Lovely though. Despite having had one in the past, I'd totally missed (or completely forgotten) that it's two separate tubes connecting the lower seatstays to the seat tube. So easy to disregard On One's to the graveyard of simple budget bikes.

Just to clarify, did they or did they not have sliding dropout on the 456? Sorry, I am a bit confused Also, you are certain it is an Evo 2? How can some see the difference?

Yeah, it is lovely. I should have asked around before it was taken off It seemed like a sweet deal for the price, there is only a few frames if there is any with this style of dropout on the market(second hand) in my size. Also liked the specs. Apparently not the lightest frame but very sturdy. I should have pulled the trigger

I doubt they made a production run but never say never for a one off prototype.

you are certain it is an Evo 2?

In 2013 Brant said of the Evo 2 on MTBR "Geometry identical, tube shapes and profiles more optimised for lighter weight, better ride.
Seat tube now takes a 30.9mm post and 34.9mm seat clamp and FD." and I'd suggest that the seat tube is of the larger size based on the photo.
